Brownstown Expungement Lawyer

Clear Your Criminal Record in Brownstown, MI

A past criminal conviction shouldn’t define your future. If you’ve made mistakes in the past but have turned your life around, Michigan law may allow you to expunge or set aside your criminal record. Expungement can open doors to employment, housing, education, and more. With over 20 years of experience, The Law Office of Julian J. Poota, PLLC helps Brownstown clients navigate the expungement process and start fresh.

What Is an Expungement?

An expungement (also called a “set-aside”) is a legal process that removes certain convictions from your public criminal record. Once your record is expunged, it will not appear in most background checks, helping you move forward without the stigma of a past conviction.

Who Qualifies for Expungement in Michigan?

Thanks to recent changes in Michigan’s Clean Slate laws, many people may now be eligible to expunge:

• Up to three felonies and an unlimited number of misdemeanors
• Certain traffic offenses, including OWI (under specific conditions)
• Marijuana-related convictions that would not be illegal under current law
• Some non-violent felony convictions after a waiting period

Note: Not all offenses are eligible—crimes such as certain sex offenses or violent crimes may be excluded.

Benefits of Expungement

• Better employment opportunities
• Improved chances for housing and loans
• Restoration of rights and reputation
• Peace of mind and a fresh start
