What Convictions Are Eligible For Expungement? - Paul J. Tafelski

From Paul J. Tafelski, Michigan Defense Law – "What Convictions are Eligible for Expungement?" provides a comprehensive overview of Michigan's Clean Slate Law, detailing which convictions qualify for expungement and the specific eligibility criteria.

The Clean Slate Law, enacted in 2021, allows individuals to expunge an unlimited number of misdemeanor offenses and up to three felony convictions, with certain exceptions. Notably, multiple offenses occurring within a 24-hour period may be treated as a single conviction if they arise from the same event. However, specific exclusions apply, including convictions punishable by life imprisonment, certain assault and child abuse offenses, possession of child pornography, particular sex offenses, and some solicitation or prostitution charges, unless the individual was a victim of human trafficking.

To determine eligibility, it's essential to review your criminal record and assess whether your convictions meet the criteria outlined in the Clean Slate Law. Even if you qualify, the court must still determine that you are deserving of relief, and you must meet the required waiting period, which can be up to seven years, depending on the seriousness of the conviction. Engaging an experienced Michigan expungement attorney can significantly increase your chances of success, as they can effectively advise you on your eligibility and help prepare a compelling application for relief.
