well I don't know about the state that you live in but in my state, Maryland, its possible for you to get it placed on a "stet-doc". What this basically is, is an agreement between you and the state which will wipe it completely off your record as if it never happened as long as you comply with the mandatory sentence and stay out of trouble for a year. I would locate a lawyer or if you want the cheap man's way out study up on it yourself and see if your state has this deal.
