What Is Expungement in Michigan?
Expungement is the legal process of sealing or setting aside a criminal conviction from your public record. Once granted, the offense no longer shows up in most background checks, giving you a second chance at life without the burden of a conviction.
Who Qualifies for Expungement in Michigan?
Michigan’s Clean Slate laws have expanded who qualifies. You may be eligible to expunge:
- Up to 3 felony convictions (with some exceptions)
- Unlimited misdemeanors, with a waiting period
- Certain marijuana-related offenses automatically
- First-time operating while intoxicated (OWI) offenses
- Some assaultive crimes, depending on details and timing
However, some crimes are not eligible, including:
- Criminal sexual conduct (CSC) 1st or 2nd degree
- Felony domestic violence with a prior conviction
- Some weapons and child abuse offenses
Let us review your case to determine eligibility.
How Long Must You Wait Before Applying?
Waiting periods begin after your sentence ends, including probation. They include:
- Misdemeanors: 3 years
- Felonies: 5 years
- Multiple felonies/misdemeanors: 7 years
- First OWI Expungement: 5 years
