In January of 2021, The State of Michigan opened a very aggressive program that clears a path for a wide variety of criminal offenses to be expunged. The program is very generous with over 30 pages of qualifying rules and general guidelines.
This website provides general information to help those seeking expungement get a better idea of the process and qualifying crimes that can be expunged. The site is a first stop in getting the knowledge you need, the next step is to contact an expungement lawyer.
Expungement must be won during a legal hearing, the lawyer you hire will most likely make all the difference between success and failure. Having a crime expunged is not a guaranteed right, it is a privilege that can only be granted by a Judge. Not every crime will qualify for expungement and there are far too many overlapping rules to accurately determine if your particular scenario can be expunged until you have a consultation with a lawyer.
