Misdemeanors might be but need more information. You should gather up copies of all your court records and consult with an attorney.

   I would not hire an attorney to attempt this. The law does not allow for it.

   More information is needed to properly answer your question.
   
   Was the case dismissed or did you win your case at trial?
   
   Were you placed on probation?
