First, you need to find out if your conviction was for something classed as a felony under federal law or only under state law. If it is defined as a felony under federal law, stop right there. You're not getting them back.

Now, if it was defined as a felony ONLY under state law and not under federal law, you can apply for relief of disability. There's no guarantee you'll get it, but, if you've got a lawyer handy and some cash to throw at this thing, you can at least try.
