Based upon what you have written about there is a possibility that you may be able to get your cirminal conviction expunged and your criminal file sealed since usually 5 years is the minimum time period needed to file for an expungement of a criminal conviction. I suggest that you consult with a competent criminal defense attorney with much experience in expungements.
