Question

I am from Michigan and it states that you can only have one felony set aside. Well I had a felony that was deferred and I completed all requirements and it was dropped but I had another felony that was not but I am being told that it doesnt matter that I had the first one deferred. I have just completed my bachelor degree and getting ready to start Grad school for psychology but I now find out that I cant expunge the record. Do you have any advice?

Thanks

Answer

If the first one was deferred, it's not a conviction. The second one may be set aside, assuming it fits the statute and you have no other misdemeanors as well. Visit kliszlaw.com to discuss. Tim Klisz
