Michigan Drunk Driving Expungement - Former Prosecutor
|
If you're visiting this website, it's likely because you're considering whether you're eligible for expunging your DUI (drunk driving) conviction. Over the years, I've successfully assisted numerous clients in achieving this significant milestone. Hearing a judge say, "I am going to sign the order, congratulations," is a great feeling. Before we discuss your specific case, it's important to confirm your eligibility.
The simplest way to determine if you're eligible is to identify when your probation or jail sentence for your DUI case concluded. The law permits only one DUI conviction to be expunged, and you must not have committed any offenses between your DUI and your application for expungement. If you're unsure about these dates, you can check them online at https://apps.michigan.gov/ For instance, suppose you were convicted on July 5, 2010, and your probation ended on April 5, 2011. In that case, you become eligible for expungement on April 5, 2016. We primarily consider the probation discharge date. If your probation is still ongoing or there are pending requirements, then your eligibility period hasn't started yet. Next, I encourage you to go through the ten questions listed below. Watch the accompanying video where I'll guide you through each question, helping you understand how to answer them accurately. Pursuing a DUI expungement in Michigan is significant, offering a great opportunity to change your life. However, it's essential to comprehend your journey from the initial case to the present. A judge needs to be convinced that, over the past five years or more, you have undergone rehabilitation and benefitted from your experiences. My approach is very comprehensive and we tell your story beyond the four corners of the court documents. We also add present day value with a number of impactful tools that judges have personally praised as part of the reason why they signed an expungement order for my clients. I like to call these the tiebreakers and the extra push to achieve our result. If you would like my help, call me at 248-924-9458 or email me at [email protected]; if you prefer I reach out to you, send me your information and include the court, the judge (if you remember), and when you were discharged by the court. You can also send me a copy of your wheel of life to my email. I Wrote the Book on Michigan DUI Expungement

When the Michigan governor signed the drunk driving expungement bill, it opened the door for a clean slate for my past, present and future clients. I represent many active DUI cases in Michigan, and our firm focuses on the client's journey, and how he/she finds themselves on the wrong side of the law. We spend months redefining their case, and creating a "true impression" with a series of proactive steps.
For a DUI expungement, it's a look back on the client's life, and how they have grown, and what they have learned from their past incident. In fact, the law specifically states that the judge will do the following: "In making a determination whether to grant the petition to set aside a first violation the reviewing court may consider whether or not the petitioner has benefited from rehabilitative or educational programs, if any were ordered by the sentencing court, or whether such steps were taken by the petitioner before sentencing for the first violation operating while intoxicated offense conviction he or she is seeking to set aside." It goes on to say that "the reviewing court may deny the petition if it is not convinced that the petitioner has either availed himself or herself of rehabilitative or educational programming or benefited from rehabilitative or educational programming he or she has completed" What does this mean? You better hope your attorney who worked on your original DUI case had you take a proactive approach from day one. My past clients will be in an excellent position to hit this mark, but what about new expungement clients, who I did not work with on day one? I've come up with a unique and effective approach that will put the client in an excellent position to achieve your goal of a DUI expungement. |
