Yes, you can. That's a perfectly respectable GPA, and if you've got LSAT scores to match, you're in excellent shape.
The LSAT score is a very strong consideration and may even outweigh grades, especially if you've been out of school for a while. Your LSAT score is supposedly highly predictive of your success as a first-year law student, and most law schools will look for a high LSAT score (at LEAST 150, preferably high 160's for more selective schools). If you can get 170+ on the LSAT, especially with your GPA, schools will be falling all over themselves to admit you.
It may help you gauge your chances of admission to a particular school if you look at their median reported GPA and LSAT scores for the most recent entering classes.
I honestly think the LSAT score outweighs the GPA at most schools. My undergrad GPA was barely 3.0, but I had an extremely high LSAT score, and I had my choice of schools. My husband had a 3.2 and a 150 LSAT and was rejected. Go figure.

It's possible, and it also depends on the school you attended, the competitiveness of the law school you wish to attend, and the strength of your LSAT score.

Of course! It also depends on the LSAT.
