you can file to have the conviction expunged. You will have to establish by State Police investigation and records, that there are no other convictions or pending charges

I don't know what a class d misdemeanor is. You have written to a site about California law not your state's law. Sorry I cannot help.

If the offense occurred when you were 17 in California it was a juvenile court proceeding and your records should have been sealed when you turned 18. The only people that can see your juvenile record is the DA and the DOJ. Except for maybe the government employers can not ask you if you have ever been convicted. In juvenile court it is not a conviction anyway, it is a finding of true. If they do and will not hire you because of that you should ask an employment lawyer to look into it for.

You should hire an attorney to assist you with filing a motion to vacate the conviction.

You should be able to seal your record. Once it is sealed, it will not be viewable to potential employers, unless they fall into a small select group, such as law enforcement, child care and certain government positions. Typical employers will see no record upon doing a CORI check. You can call the probation department of the courts where you were charged to see if it is something that you feel comfortable doing yourself. If not, then call an attorney. We seal records for people regularly.
