Garden City, MI Expungement Attorney

Clear Your Criminal Record and Move Forward

A criminal record can create lasting barriers to employment, housing, education, and more. Fortunately, Michigan law allows many individuals to expunge (set aside) eligible convictions, giving them a clean slate and a fresh start.

With over 20 years of experience helping clients throughout Wayne County, we can guide you through the expungement process and improve your chances of success.

What Can Be Expunged in Michigan?

Recent changes to Michigan’s expungement laws allow for broader eligibility. You may qualify to expunge:

• Certain misdemeanors and felonies
• Multiple convictions, depending on the nature and number
• Marijuana-related offenses that would not be illegal under current law
• Non-assaultive traffic offenses (in some cases)
• Arrests or charges that were dismissed or resulted in not-guilty verdicts

Some crimes are not eligible for expungement, such as:

• Criminal sexual conduct (CSC)
• Most traffic offenses involving injury or death
• Felony domestic violence (with prior history)
• Federal or out-of-state convictions

Benefits of Expungement

• Employment Opportunities: Clear background checks for most jobs
• Housing Access: Improve eligibility for rentals and housing
• Firearm Rights: Possible restoration of rights, depending on circumstances
• Peace of Mind: Put your past behind you
