West Bloomfield Expungement Lawyer

A criminal record can create roadblocks in your life, affecting employment, housing, education, and more. Expungement offers a fresh start by removing eligible convictions from your public record. If you live in West Bloomfield and are seeking to clear your record, you need experienced legal guidance. The expungement process is complex and requires meeting specific criteria, filing detailed paperwork, and presenting your case persuasively in court.

How Expungement Works in Michigan

Expungement, also known as setting aside a conviction, can clear qualifying offenses from your criminal record. Michigan recently expanded eligibility through “Clean Slate” reforms, allowing more individuals to apply for expungement. While not all convictions are eligible, many misdemeanors and some felonies qualify. For example:

• Up to three felonies and an unlimited number of misdemeanors can potentially be expunged.
• Certain waiting periods and eligibility criteria apply, such as demonstrating rehabilitation.

Benefits of Expungement

Clearing your criminal record offers life-changing benefits, such as:

• Enhanced job opportunities
• Increased eligibility for housing
• Restored rights and licenses
• Improved reputation and social standing
