If you have already been convicted of the misdemeanor and this was in New York, you cannot have it sealed. �If your case is still open and there has been no final disposition, then it is possible that you might get an ACD and after a certain time period the case will be dismissed and sealed. �Discuss this with your attorney.�

Only under limited circumstances, can a record of a misdemeanor conviction be sealed in NY. For more information you can google "New York" and "Sealing a Criminal Record". You can then determine whether or not you qualify to have your record sealed. If you are still unclear after doing this, you can consult directly with a criminal law attorney in your area.
