It depends on the maximum time for the A&B when you were 19. If it was a 90 day maximum you could get the matters expunged. If it was a 93 day maximum then the answer is no.

Michigan law allows a person to file a petition to expunge one criminal offense off of their record. The most important requirement is that there are no other convictions. Therefore, you would not qualify. However, there may be something else that can be done. If you tried to set aside your second conviction, that would leave you with just the one that could be expunged. Something to think about and discuss further.

I believe you should be able to get rid of the second one under the new law. It would require some research to see.

If you only have one qualifying felony and no more than two minor misdemeanors and at least five years have passed, you may be eligible to have your conviction set aside. Seek out an attorney that does expungements for a more accurate overview of your case.
