Expunging a minor in possession misdemeanor

Friday, Sep 2, 2016 by Brian Laviage

I was at a party that was busted by police my freshman year of college. I happened to be drinking (underage) and I was charged with a minor in possession misdemeanor and convicted - not the greatest way to start college, but it’s been fine since and I will be graduating this year! Anyway, I’d like to clear everything up if possible - is there a way to get this minor in possession conviction off my record?
