You obtained your green card through family member which means you don't have to depend on anyone but yourself. You must apply for renewal of your green card 90 days before expiration date. The fact that you're convicted may trigger removal order, but you may be fine if do it right. You do need a good immigration attorney to file a waiver with your renewal...
