Legal Question in Appeals and Writs in Minnesota
I applied for a job online on February 28th and marked that I had not been charged/ convicted/ or plead guilty to a felony. Later that day I had court where I was adviced to plead guilty to a felony charge to get probation and make it go away. I was not sentenced either. I was later offered the job but my background check came back showing I plead guilty. So, the job was resended because yhey said I lied. But I hadn't ..can retaining a lawyer get me back the offered position?

It sure sounds to me like you lied. You told them you hadn't been charged, but you admit that you went to court that same day to face charges.
