I do not understand the facts which you are presenting. If your DUI was dismissed with prejudice then it no longer exists, at least as a conviction. On the other hand, if you absconded and did not answer the charges properly you could have been charged as a felony fugitive. I would suggest that you take all of the details to an attorney in the state where the felony want warrant was issued and attempt to get it straightened out. It is possible to have a felony expunged in the state of Michigan but under the circumstances I cannot form an opinion whether or not an expungement is available at this time.

If it was dismissed, you don't need to get it expunged.

If there is no conviction from the DUI case, we can seal it from public view. I do this all the time.
