Quoting
Mr. Knowitall
The long and the short of it is, no, based upon the information you've shared so far it does not appear that you will be able to make a case out of this. You have chosen not to give us any material information about the incident, what happened in court, or the charge (beyond its being a misdemeanor), but from what you've told us so far you're going to walk straight into a sovereign immunity defense, and the statute of limitations is also likely to cut off most of your claims. Your damages are also speculative, and I very much doubt that your earnings history would support your claim that but for a misdemeanor people would be lining up to give you $90K jobs. If you want a full evaluation of your case, the details are very important, so get a copy of your court file and discuss the details with a lawyer.
