Yes, there is a process that can be pursued for expungement of Class C misdemeanors. The defendant must plead not guilty to pursue expungement, but the process is fairly difficult and there are no guarantees.
Below is an article about expungement.
Another View: You need not have pled 'not guilty' in order to qualify to petition for an expungement. Every states' law is different on this procedure but in many (all?) states you may petition for expungement even after having been found guilty - however, you must have completed the entire term of your sentence in order to even start the process.
ADDED: You need to ask about your state specifically. Some states do not allow expungement of convictions at all. Some only allow arrests to be expunged, and only when the arrest does not result in a conviction. Other states allow you to expunge the conviction upon completion of your sentence.

∙ 14y agoDepending upon the crime and the statutes governing eligibility for expunction of your particular state, yes, it might be. Keep in mind, however, convictions for some crimes (e.g.: manslaughter, homicide, sex offenses, etc) are usually never expungable.

∙ 14y agoMaybe but because of how discretionary expungement is you should not get your hopes up. Expungement is granted, in some situations, when a certain amount of time has passed and the individual has completed all the terms of his or her probation. I would suggest speaking with your attorney about filing the necessary paperwork with the court to see if this is an option for you. If it is, then it would be in your best interest to pursue it.
