Expungements / Firearm Restoration

Michigan Expungement Law

Michigan has significantly expanded its expungement laws in recent years, making more people eligible to have criminal convictions set aside. An expungement can open doors that were previously closed — improving employment opportunities, housing options, and more.

Baldori Law helps eligible Michigan residents determine whether they qualify for expungement and guides them through the application process from start to finish.

Who May Be Eligible

Michigan law allows certain individuals to petition the court to set aside (expunge) eligible criminal convictions. Eligibility depends on factors including the type of conviction, the number of convictions, and the amount of time that has passed since the conviction or completion of the sentence.

• Certain misdemeanor and felony convictions
• Multiple convictions may be eligible under expanded Michigan law
• Some marijuana-related offenses
• Traffic offenses in certain cases
