Short answer - Yes.
BUT . . . It won't be easy, guaranteed, and likely will not be cheap.
Getting Sponsored
Many / most firms will "Just move on to the next candidate" once they know you have a "YES Answer." A "YES Answer" means that you will have to cop to an issue on your applications to FINRA that will "raise an eye".
If you had "No YES Answers" the application is "White Bread" which means it's pretty much a formality. However, a "Yes" answer will require FINRA to raise scrutiny, which means full disclosure of all the details of what happened, and the result. This is not worth the time for most firms (Unless you're something special or there's nepotism involved to make them willing to go the extra mile.)
(sorry I know it's tricky language - "No YES Answers", but that's how we talk about this stuff)
Not Easy
The regulators can be rough in some cases. If it was fairly recent, that's especially bad. If it was recent an money related (Banking, White Collar, Finance) related you will be up against some real challenges.
Not Guaranteed
With a Felony you could take the test, pay the fees, do all the work and get a "NO WAY."
Not Cheap
You might (should) hire an attorney that can look over your paperwork and give you a legal opinion on whether they believe that they can work you through the system despite your nicks. This will likely be in the 5k-10k range after all is said and done. However, be careful that the counsel you choose has had clients that were in worse shape than you that they got through. This is not a job for your cousin Vinny that handles personal injury. In many cases the better attorney's to help you with this will be former FINRA or SEC employees.
