It is entirely possible that you might be able to get the misdemeanor that you have written about expunged albeit the court system usually does not want to see a petition for an expungement until at least five (5) years after the conviction. I suggest that you consult with a criminal defense attorney to assist you in the matter you are writing about and to give you guidance as to how you wish to proceed.
