Is your criminal record preventing you from moving on with your life? You past mistakes don't define you. We can erase those mistakes with a criminal conviction expungement. Setting aside a conviction is the process that clears a public criminal record.
In Michigan, there is one process to set aside a conviction on an adult record and a different process to set aside a juvenile conviction, called an adjudication.
Recently, in 2021, Michigan enacted the Clean Slate Bills. This gave a much broader opportunity to expunge records for those who previously may not have been eligible.
2020 Legislation:Legislation passed and signed late in 2020 makes Michigan a national leader in helping residents more easily set aside criminal records and a get a "clean slate." The new laws make set asides automatic for certain offenses; however, for some offenses, parties will need to apply for a set aside. While these new laws take effect on April 11, 2021, court and law enforcement authorities were allowed two years to secure funding and coordinate plans to allow for automatic set aside of some offenses. That means automatic set asides will not be implemented until April 2023, at the earliest. Highlights of the "Clean Slate" package include:
Legislation passed and signed in 2021 makes set asides available for some first time operating while intoxicated convictions. On August 23, 2021, Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed Enrolled House Bills 4219 and 4220. This became effective in February 2022.
As of February 19th, 2022, first time operating while intoxicated convictions are now eligible to be set-aside (expunged) under certain circumstances. The waiting period to have a first-time operating while intoxicated offense expunged from your record is 5 years.
Prior to the change in the law you were stuck with an OWI on your record forever. If you have an OWI conviction you want expunged you may now be able to do so! We can petition the sentencing Court to have the conviction removed from your record.
