If you believe you are eligible, the next step is to download your public record from iCHAT (a $10.00 charge on the Michigan State Police website). Once you have done that you can forward it and we will look it over and determine your eligibility at no cost to you.
Expungement (Criminal Set-Aside) Basics
A criminal record and history can have devastating effects on a person’s life and future in several different ways you may have or soon will experience. These include just some of the following:
• job opportunities lost,
• added difficulties in child custody and parenting time matters,
• removal from or denied access to professional organizations and/or memberships,
• Negative affect on social dating sites or any other matter that involves a basic background check.
• And, if you want to coach your child’s athletic team or even simply volunteer at his or her school events? Forget it. Felony convictions are typically screened for and those with a criminal history are often excluded, particularly those activities involving children.
All of these, and many more, are reasons are why you must have an experienced set-aside/expungement lawyer if you want to properly and finally expunge your record of a non-violent felony or misdemeanor conviction.
