QUESTION
Can I have the domestic battery conviction removed off my record and how?
Asked on Dec 12th, 2012 on Expungements - Michigan
More details to this question:
Back in 1997, I was convicted of domestic battery against a former girlfriend who struck me and I defended myself. I had no priors and I have no presents. During that time, she did not come to court. The state picked the case up and I could not afford an attorney so I pleaded guilty. I was also told that it would come off in five years but it did not.

It will not come off your record unless you undertake to have it set aside or expunged. It is not automatic.

The area of the law you need to utilize is called Setting Aside a Conviction. The process can be a little complicated but you can do this on your own if you spend the time reading the statute carefully. That stated, consulting with an attorney first would be advisable and I would also find out how much an attorney might charge you if you wanted to use their services.
