Poota, PLLC, can guide you through every step, helping you move forward with a clean slate.
What Is Expungement?
Expungement, also known as setting aside a conviction, removes certain criminal offenses from your public record. This means most employers, landlords, and the public will no longer see your past convictions in background checks.
Who Qualifies for Expungement in Redford?
Michigan expanded its expungement laws, allowing more people to qualify. You may be eligible if:
- You have up to 3 felonies and unlimited misdemeanors (with some exceptions)
- At least 3 years have passed since your sentence ended (depending on the offense)
- You have no pending criminal charges
Certain offenses, like most traffic offenses, life sentences, and criminal sexual conduct convictions, are not eligible for expungement.
Benefits of Expungement
Having your record expunged can open doors by:
- Improving job and housing opportunities
- Restoring your right to vote, hold public office, or own firearms (in some cases)
- Enhancing your reputation and peace of mind
