QUESTION
Is there a way to have this charge expunged even though I have already had one expunged before?
Asked on Aug 29th, 2012 on Expungements - Michigan
More details to this question:
In 2008, I was convicted of a misdemeanour charge of misuse of public property. In 2009, I had that charge expunged. Now more recently in 2011, I was convicted of an attempted possession charge. On December 12, 2012, it will be a year since I have been off probation and I will be eligible to get it expunged. I am going to school and working and really am trying to get my life back together.

No, Michigan allows only one expungment.

This is not expungement and your conviction will exist forever. You can get off of probation if it has expired. You still must tell employers that you were convicted because it will show on a background check.

Yes, you may do a second "expungement" after you have done prior ones.

See a criminal attorney. The first change, I think, was dropped, the second might be possible to expunge, min 5 years. seek counsel. Also realize this is you last chance to "clear" you record.

Only certain types of misdemeanors or felonies can be expunged. If it's a misdemeanor and it's in the category that can be expunged, you have to prove that you have had no other misdemeanors or felonies within 10 years since the conviction. For felonies, the same applies but it's 20 years.

In pennsylvania, it is virtually not possible to have a felony record expunged. A pardon may be possible. You should consult with and retain an attorney.
