Unfortunately, New York State does not allow for the expungement of a prior criminal conviction, which means you were convicted either by a guilty plea or by trial of a misdemeanor or felony.
The New York State DMV does allow for a restricted license for work purposes. You should contact the DMV about the best way to go ahead and get this done.
