“Roland” worked at the same West Michigan company for over 20 years before deciding to go back to school full-time. Just last month he graduated with a Bachelors degree in business! But the career dreams he’s pursuing were in danger of being quashed by decades-old convictions that continued to hinder his chances of getting a better job in his chosen field. The mistakes Roland made as a younger man – and that led to his criminal record – were something he always regretted. Yet until recently there seemed to be no way to move beyond their continued influence over his life, which limited his options for both employment and, at times, housing.
Roland heard about Michigan’s Clean Slate expungement laws and contacted us to see if he’d be eligible for help. One of our attorneys was able to walk Roland through the whole process of court hearings, representing him in the courtroom and making the case for expungement. The result? Roland now has an entirely clean slate again and can move on with his career goals free from the weight of those long-ago convictions.
