Asked on Apr 18th, 2013 on Expungements - Michigan
More details to this question:
I was convicted of a misdemeanor of criminal mischief for more than $50 but less than $500. I received 31 days of jail time and paid all fines. The charge is stopping me from getting the jobs that I apply for because it's not 5 years old yet. Can I get it expunged or sealed?

No, your conviction can never be expunged or sealed. Only certain types of misdemeanors are eligible for expungement and only after 10 years of good behavior. A misdemeanor conviction for criminal mischief does not qualify for expungement.
