It's theoretically possible to have any conviction expunged, but it doesn't happen very often. For an arrest or conviction to be expunged, the petitioner has to show the court that either a substantial legal error occurred (such as a false arrest), or that justice would be best served by "erasing" the offense. This is occasionally done after a substantial time (many years) has passed since the offense, and the accused has led an exemplary life in the interim. It isn't done just because the accused finds it inconvenient to have that conviction on his record.
Added: THEORETICALLY being the keyword. While it may be possible to APPLY to expuinge this offense, I do not believe that it is possible in ANY jurisdiction to expunge a domestic violence charge.
They are treated as serious criminal events. The Lautenberg amendment addresses Domestic Violence offenders in the same way as if the perpetrators were convicted felons.
