QUESTION
How can I have my retail fraud 3rd degree conviction expunged from my record?
Asked on Aug 21st, 2014 on Criminal Law - Michigan
More details to this question:
Just after I turned 18, I got ticketed for a M.I.P. (alcohol) and later that year, for retail fraud 3rd degree. I was stupid and got a court appointed attorney and he recommended I plead guilty for a minor offense and just get it over with, so I did. Big mistake, as now I am 28 and I am finding it very difficult to get a solid job. I was wondering if there is any such way to get past this and get an expungement on the retail fraud or if I'm just screwed for the rest of my life because there is no grace period in that. It never goes away.

I think you might be eligible under the recent law change that provides exceptions for minor offenses that were committed under 21.
