Probation Violation

A Second Chance Starts Here

A criminal record can continue to affect your life long after your case has ended. It may impact your ability to find employment, secure housing, obtain professional licenses, or pursue educational opportunities.


Michigan law allows many individuals to have eligible criminal convictions set aside through the expungement process. At Legal Connections PLLC, we help clients throughout Southeast Michigan determine whether they may qualify for an expungement and guide them through every step of the legal process.


If you are ready to move forward and leave your past behind, we are here to help.

Understanding Expungements in Michigan


An expungement, also known as setting aside a conviction, is a legal process that may allow eligible criminal convictions to be removed from a person's public criminal record.


Michigan has expanded its expungement laws in recent years, allowing more individuals to seek relief than ever before. However, eligibility depends on several factors, including the type of conviction, the number of convictions, and the amount of time that has passed since the completion of your sentence.


Because every case is different, it is important to have your record reviewed by an attorney to determine your legal options.
