A past mistake should not define your future. Michigan’s Clean Slate Law allows many people to set aside or seal certain criminal convictions, giving them a second chance. At The Moubarak Law Firm, we help clients across Michigan navigate the expungement process and move forward with confidence.

 

 

Expungement (also called “set-aside”) removes a conviction from the public record, meaning most employers and landlords will no longer see it. Law enforcement and courts, however, still retain access for limited purposes.

 

 

• You have no more than 3 felonies and any number of misdemeanors that meet the criteria

• It’s been 3–7 years since completing your sentence or probation

• The conviction is not for serious crimes like murder, certain sex offenses, or terrorism

 

Michigan’s 2023 expansion of the Clean Slate Law also introduced automatic expungement for some offenses—but others still require formal petitions, which we handle for clients daily.

 

1.Obtain your criminal record from the Michigan State Police

2.File a petition in the court where you were convicted

3.Serve notice to the Attorney General and prosecutor

4.Attend a hearing (if required)

5.Await the judge’s decision

 

With proper guidance, the process can take as little as a few months.

 

 

• Review your full record for eligibility

• Prepare all required paperwork accurately

• Represent you in court hearings

• Guide you until your record is officially cleared

 

We believe everyone deserves a chance to rebuild their life without the burden of a past conviction.
