Talk to an Experienced Expungement Attorney in Roseville, Fraser & Macomb County, MI
Learn How Expungements Work
If you were convicted of a felony offense or two misdemeanor offenses, you may petition the convicting court to set aside the felony offense. If you have more than the maximum felony or misdemeanor charges, you’re not eligible for felony expungement. If you’ve been convicted of two misdemeanor offenses or fewer and have no felony convictions on your record, you can petition the court to expunge your misdemeanor convictions.
There are several types of criminal convictions that can’t be expunged, such as:
- Convictions with a life sentence
- Convictions related to children
- Convictions related to criminal sexual conduct
- Convictions related to traffic offenses
