Governors or an appointed agency/board depending on the state you live in can grant pardons or reprieves for offenses under state criminal law. The pardon power of the President extends only to offenses cognizable under U.S. Federal law.

Who pardons criminals?

In the United States, it is the executive branch of government that can pardon a convicted criminal.
