QUESTION
If someone gets a misdemeanor can they get it expunged so that it doesn''t show up on back ground checks when they apply for jobs?

More details to this question:
My girlfriend has been applying for many jobs and has been getting interviews at a fair amount of them but never gets hired. A couple of them have told her that she didn''t pass the background check. The only thing on her record is the misdemeanor wich was for theft. Also if you could give me a price range that this might cost to get it done would be appreciated. Thank you.

Typically, a misdemeanor conviction can be expugned but often times state laws restrict a person from having anything expunged if that person has more than one conviction. If this theft charge is the only thing on her record, than she should be able to get it expunged. As I am not licensed to practice in Michigan, I strongly encourage you to consult an attorney who is licensed to practice in that state.
