If you’re searching for a Livingston County expungement lawyer, you’re likely ready to move forward and leave the past behind. At the Law Office of Julian J. Poota, PLLC, we understand how much a criminal record can hold you back. Whether you’re dealing with a felony, misdemeanor, or even a first-time OWI, our office can help you pursue a fresh start through Michigan’s Clean Slate expungement process.

What Is an Expungement in Michigan?

An expungement, also called a “set-aside,” removes eligible criminal convictions from public view. Once your record is expunged, background checks used by employers, landlords, and lenders will no longer reveal the offense. This can make it much easier to get a job, rent an apartment, or apply for credit.

How the Clean Slate Law Helps You

Michigan’s Clean Slate Law changed the game for people with prior convictions. Now, more individuals than ever can seek expungement relief. Here’s what you should know:

• You must wait 3, 5, or 7 years after completing your sentence, depending on your case.
• You can have up to three felonies and still qualify in some situations.
• Certain convictions, like capital offenses and most sex crimes, are not eligible.
• A first-time OWI (Operating While Intoxicated) is now eligible.
