Legal Question in Legal Ethics in Michigan

Expunged records

If a misdemeanor, which occured at age 17,has been expunged from records, can one ethically and legally state on a job application that you have not been convicted of that misdemeanor? This is in reference to a 30 yr. old who had a misdemeanor for drug paraphernalia (no drug involved)in a car when stopped for a traffic violation.

thank you
