Having a criminal conviction on your record can result in serious repercussions and consequences, including but not limited to difficulties:
- Obtaining employment
- Pursuing higher education opportunities
- Obtaining a license to work in various fields such as education, health care, fields requiring security clearance
- Suspension of your civil rights that may include your right to vote and to lawfully possess a firearm
Expungements are never automatically awarded, and you will need the assistance of an experienced Michigan criminal defense attorney who knows the ins and outs of
expungement law in Michigan.
Therefore, it’s important to hire a Macomb County Expungement Attorney to help you set aside a conviction, also known as an expungement. This changes your conviction from public to nonpublic and you are legally considered not to have been convicted. This means if your conviction is expunged, you are able to say you have never been convicted of the crime.
