Record Expungement Lawyer in Grand Rapids, MI

If you have one conviction on your criminal record of a qualifying offense that is 5 years old, and you have not received a second conviction of any kind, you may qualify to have your criminal conviction expunged, or erased, from your criminal record. Securing an expungement is a complicated process with specific requirements that must be met to be successful. 

​

Having a criminal conviction on your criminal record can cost you your job; any future jobs; your ability to possess a weapon, enter military service, or be admitted into school. A criminal conviction will appear on any background check or security clearance, job application, school admission application or military application. A conviction may also prevent you from traveling to Canada or outside the United States, and may affect your seeking custody of, or parenting time with, your children. Multiple convictions will increase the seriousness of the penalties.
