Expungements FREE CONSULTATION
If you have a criminal record, you may experience difficulty finding a job, renting an apartment, getting into college or technical school. Depending on the type of crime you were convicted of committing, you may have had to forfeit some of your rights, such as: the right to vote, the right to bear arms, the right to serve on a jury, or the right to hold public office. You may be able to lessen the impact of a criminal conviction by seeking a criminal record expungement.
What Is Record Expungement?Expungement is the legal process of sealing your criminal record from public view. Once your record has been expunged, you can truthfully answer, in all but a few limited situations, you do not have a criminal record.
While Michigan has a generous policy towards expungement, expungement is never granted automatically. To give yourself the greatest likelihood of success, it is best to work with an experienced criminal record expungement lawyer who understands the nuances of Michigan expungement law and can present your case in the best light possible.
Am I Eligible for Expungement?People who were convicted of misdemeanor or felony offenses may be eligible for expungement.
