DIY vs. Attorney Expungement in Michigan

You can file a Michigan set-aside petition yourself for about $70 in fees. DIY works for a single clean misdemeanor with no objections. Attorney help matters when you have multiple convictions, a prosecutor likely to object, an assaultive offense, or a hearing where the judge weighs discretion — a denied petition means waiting three years before you can refile.
