The majority of jurisdictions�allow misdemeanor convictions to be expunged (i.e. cleared from your criminal history record), however others do not. To find out the law in the state in which�you were convicted (not necessarily the state in which you now live), google the name of the state and the word "expungment". You should find the information that you need in order to check your eligibility for obtaing an expungment. Additionally, you�can probably find the documents you need to file.

If you need further assistance, you can consult with an attoreny who specializes in this.
