A:
If you have a felony on your record that you wish to have expunged in Michigan, it's advisable to consider consulting with an attorney who specializes in criminal law or expungement. While the decision ultimately depends on your specific circumstances, having legal guidance can be beneficial. An attorney can help you navigate the expungement process, ensure that all the necessary paperwork is filed correctly, and increase your chances of a successful outcome.
Given that your conviction was over 9 years ago and you haven't had any further legal issues, you might meet some of the eligibility criteria for expungement under Michigan law.
