What Is Expungement?
Expungement is the legal process of removing a criminal conviction from your public record. Once granted, it’s as if the conviction never happened. Employers, landlords, and background checks won’t see it.
Whether the charge was a minor offense, a youthful mistake, or an old misdemeanor, expungement can open new doors in your life.
Who Qualifies for Expungement in Michigan?
Michigan’s Clean Slate Law allows many individuals to clear their records. You may be eligible if:
🔹 You have no more than 3 felony convictions and unlimited misdemeanors
🔹 The convictions are at least 3 to 7 years old
🔹 Your offenses do not include assaultive crimes, most sex crimes, or serious felonies
🔹 You have stayed conviction-free during the waiting period
We offer a free case review to determine your eligibility.
Automatic Expungement (Effective 2023)
Michigan now provides automatic expungement for certain low-level offenses after a set period. However, many convictions still require a formal petition and court review.
We ensure your record is fully reviewed and cleared where possible.
Why Expungement Matters
Clearing your record can lead to:
🔹 Better employment opportunities
🔹 Restored housing eligibility
🔹 Improved credit access and loan approval
🔹 Repaired personal reputation
🔹 Easier access to licenses, immigration relief, and more
