Michigan law allows a person who has not more than three felony convictions on their record to apply to a court for an order “setting aside” their convictions, with no limit on misdemeanor convictions.
If the court sets aside a conviction, the conviction is considered to have never happened (with some small exceptions), and the conviction will be sealed from inspection by the public. Various law enforcement/criminal justice agencies will continue to have access to the records; however, they can only use it under narrow circumstances. This is what many other states call expungement.
There are different waiting periods following the imposition of the sentence, completion of probation, discharge from parole, or the completion of imprisonment (whichever came later) for that conviction before the person can apply for a setting aside. Those waiting periods are determined by the number and nature of the offenses on your record.
The following offenses are not eligible for a set aside: • felony offenses with a maximum punishment of life imprisonment or an attempt to commit a felony with a maximum punishment of life imprisonment • child abuse in the second degree • cruelty to and torturing of children • possession of child sexually abusive material • use of internet or computer for prohibited communication • criminal sexual conduct in the second degree • criminal sexual conduct in the third degree • assault with intent to commit criminal sexual conduct • child abuse in any degree • child abuse in presence of child other than victim • possession of child sexually abusive material • use of internet or computer for prohibited communication • human trafficking • violation of the Michigan anti-terrorism act • traffic offenses (except first time Operating While Intoxicated OWI violations).
A person can set aside their deferred and dismissed offense since they are considered convictions in certain circumstances. The following deferred and dismissed cases are eligible to be set aside: Minor in Possession of Alcohol, Drug Diversion or Veterans Treatment Court Deferral, Youthful Trainee or Domestic Violence Diversion, Possession or Use of Controlled Substance, Taking or Retaining Child by Adoptive or Natural Parent, Prohibited Conduct by Licensed Health Care Professional, or any other law or offenses of this state similar in nature and applicability to those listed.
Once your offense has been set aside, the records pertaining to the case will be sealed from inspection by the public. The Department of State Police will retain a “nonpublic” version of the records, which it can share with other law enforcement or criminal justice agencies (including courts and prosecutors) under limited circumstances. The only time the records can be used against you is if you are employed or want to be employed by the Department of Corrections, a law enforcement agency, a court, or a prosecutor’s office.
Setting aside your conviction in Michigan can take about 4 to 6 months. Each court varies on the time it takes because they may be more or less busy than usual. If you are ever wondering what is going on with your case you can call us or better yet check the status of your case on the internet with our case management website. The work necessary for your case will include research, writing, filing documents in court, and sending our attorney to court for you if needed. In our experience, your presence will probably not be required at the court.
Our Michigan Set Aside service can be extremely valuable and enable you to have a better life. Contact us today or complete this evaluation to get started down that path to a better future.
Our exclusive Expedited Record Clearance Update service allows us to have the leading background check companies reflect changes to your criminal record in less than 14 days, instead of months and even years like our competitors.

“There are not many words that I can use to describe how absolutely happy and satisfied I am with this service. For almost 7 years I struggled with having something negative on my criminal record that kept me from being able to get the jobs that I wanted and do the things that I needed to do in life. I have searched high and low for an attorney that would represent me, and when I came across Higbee and Associates I knew that this was "the one".”
