Expungements (Clean Slate Law)
Michigan’s Clean Slate law allows many individuals with past criminal convictions to clear their record and move forward. Depending on the offense, you may be eligible to apply for expungement after a waiting period. This process can provide access to better job opportunities, housing, freedoms restored, and peace of mind.
Anchor Bay Law has successfully handled expungements for both misdemeanors and felonies. Attorney Shaun Kelley understands the documentation and timing required to present a strong petition to the court, and ensures that your case is positioned for the best possible outcome.
Driver’s License Restoration
Losing your license after multiple DUI convictions or other violations can severely limit your independence and employment. In Michigan, reinstating your license often requires a formal hearing with the Secretary of State and evidence of sustained sobriety, including a substance use evaluation, character letters, and other documentation.
Shaun Kelley prepares clients for the process, handles the filing, and guides them through the hearing to help them get back on the road legally.
