QUESTION
Is it true that I don't have to get a pardon to expunge a non violent offense?
Asked on Mar 25th, 2013 on Expungements - Texas
More details to this question:
I was convicted of a non violent offense 15 years ago. I want to have my rights back. I'm told I don't have to have a pardon to get my record expunged. I haven't had any offenses since then and have maybe had a couple simple seat belt tickets. Is this true? And if so who can help me get this done?

In Michigan you will have to engage in attorney to attempt to have the conviction set aside, which under the circumstances which you have described, should not be difficult.

No, it is not true. If you were convicted, or even received deferred adjudication probation, then you are not eligible for expunction. If you got a deferred which you completed 5 or more years ago, then you may be able to seal (nondisclosure)?it - depends on the offense itself.
