Dearborn Heights Expungement Attorney

Skilled Dearborn Heights Expungement Lawyer

A criminal record can hold you back from employment, housing, and other opportunities. If you have a past conviction, expungement may provide you with a fresh start. The Law Office of Julian J. Poota is dedicated to helping individuals in Dearborn Heights clear their criminal records and move forward with confidence.

What is Expungement?

Expungement is the legal process of removing a conviction from your record. Once expunged, the conviction will not appear in most background checks, giving you a clean slate. Michigan law has recently expanded expungement eligibility, allowing more individuals to clear their records.

Who is Eligible for Expungement in Michigan?

You may qualify for expungement if:

• You have no more than three felony convictions (with some exceptions).
• You have an unlimited number of misdemeanors (with some restrictions).
• A sufficient waiting period has passed since your sentence completion.
• Your conviction is not for a serious offense such as life offenses, certain sex crimes, or traffic offenses like OWI.

Benefits of Expungement

Having your record expunged can:

• Improve job prospects
• Increase housing opportunities
• Restore certain rights, including firearm ownership in some cases
• Allow for a better future without the stigma of a criminal conviction
