Michigan Expungement Lawyers — Clean Slate & Record Set-AsideIt feels like that record follows you everywhere. That's because it does.
Every application, every background check, every landlord who takes a little too long to call back — you already know what’s happening. Under Michigan’s Clean Slate Act, that doesn’t have to be permanent.
- Up to 3 felonies may be eligible to set aside
- Unlimited misdemeanors can be cleared
- Some convictions auto-expunge — let’s verify yours
- Flat-fee pricing, no hidden costs
It sounds like you’ve been punished twice — once by the court, and again by the system.
Better job offers
It seems like no matter how qualified you are, that background check is the real gatekeeper. Let’s change that.
Housing access
It looks like landlords keep choosing someone else. A clean record puts you back in the conversation.
Professional licensing
It feels like the license you need is right there — if only the board could see past the record.
Three steps. You’ve already done the hard part.
- 01
Tell me what happened
One call or one form. You explain your record — I’ll tell you exactly what can come off and what can’t. No sugarcoating.
- 02
I handle the details
I pull records, check timelines, and build the petition. In Oakland and Macomb County, I know the courts and the process — it moves.
- 03
File & move forward
I file the petition, manage the hearing, and confirm the order. Then you get to stop explaining yourself to everyone.
Not sure if you qualify? That’s exactly why we talk first.
Waiting periods, conviction type, and how many priors you have — it all matters. Most people figure out where they stand in about 15 minutes. And it costs nothing.
Call (248) 865-7227It seems like the process is different depending on where your case was filed. It is.
Every county has its own filing rules, timelines, and how the court handles the docket. If your record is in Oakland County or Macomb County, I know the clerks, the procedures, and the fastest path to a clean slate. That means less waiting, less guessing, and a smoother process for you.
Oakland County
Fast docket access, established set-aside procedures, and a court system I file in regularly.
Macomb County
Direct familiarity with local filing requirements and what the judge needs to see in your petition.
What if your case was somewhere else in Michigan?
I handle expungements statewide. But if your conviction was filed in Oakland or Macomb, the process is one I know well — and that usually means it goes faster and smoother for everyone involved.
Call (248) 865-7227You probably have questions. Most people do.
How long does this actually take?
It depends on the county and how complex your record is. In Oakland and Macomb, the process is straightforward — once the petition is filed, the court sets a hearing date. From first call to final order, many cases move in a matter of months, not years.
What if I have multiple convictions?
Michigan now allows up to three felonies and unlimited misdemeanors to be set aside, but there are rules about timing and which offenses qualify. I’ll review your entire record and tell you exactly what’s possible.
Do I have to go to court?
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Some courts require a hearing; others don’t. If you do have to appear, I’ll be there with you — and you’ll know exactly what to expect before you walk in.
How much does it cost?
I work on a flat fee so there are no surprises. The cost depends on how many convictions we’re clearing and how much work is involved. I’ll give you the full number before you decide to move forward.
Would it be unreasonable to find out where you stand in the next 15 minutes?
It costs nothing. And it sounds like you’ve been carrying this long enough.
