Have you been convicted already? Then you can get it expunged after a period of time. Is the case still pending? Then you need to get a lawyer-or ask for an appointed lawyer and fight the case.
To give you an answer I need to know the facts of your case. How strong the case is against you depends on what was said, where you were, what you did, and what probable cause there was for the stop and for the search.
Depending on how long ago your conviction was, you may be able to get it vacated off your record if you successfully completed all the terms of your sentence, and have not had any new convictions for anything else since that time.
If you have only been charged, your should plead not guilty and ask for the assistance of an attorney. If there is a conviction, after 5 years you could petition the court to expunge your record.
