More details to this question:
I am trying to get enrolled in a practical nursing (LPN) program. But I need to get my background cleaned up (misdemeanors expunged). The misdemeanors happened over seven years ago. I live in Michigan now however the misdemeanors happened in Missouri. Is this possible and how long will it take?

If you have misdemeanor convictions in Missouri, you should contact an attorney licensed in the state where the misdemeanor convictions happened and tell that attorney what those convictions are and then they can tell you if they qualify for expungement. There is a very short list of misdemeanors that qualify for expungement in Missouri. If they do qualify, you can hire an attorney to go to court and ask the judge to expunge the convictions.

You would have have the charges expunged in Missouri under Missouri's expungement laws.

As they are Missouri convictions that is where they will have to be set aside or expunged. Talk to your previous attorney in Missouri or hire one.
