    Default Expungement or pardon in Michigan with 2 felonies

    I have two felonies on my record. One is for larceny in a building and the other is for embezzling over $100. These offensees occured more than 10 years ago. I was young and just plain stupid! However, I have since gone on to graduate school and really made a good life for myself. I would like to get these offenses expunged, but I understand that this is only possible in Michigan if you have one felony. Is there any recourse for me to expunge these records or get them pardoned? These felonies also hold me back in my life and career so I would like to get the problem alleviated. I am also considering applying to law school and am concerned about how these will affect my state bar licensure.

    Michigan, as you noted, permits expungement of an adult record only if you have no more than one conviction. Executive clemency is very hard to come by in Michigan. You may wish to consult a Michigan criminal defense lawyer who handles these matters, to see if there is any conceivable way to seal your record.

    Default why doesn't it show up?

    I used an online service to search for my criminal records that I mentioned earlier. I know they exist because once entering Canada I was sent back into Michigan because the authorities found out about my legal record. I was innocently going to Canada for a function I had been invited to, but was stopped at random at the border and turned back. However, using this online search for statewide criminal record search they came back with no criminal record or sexual offender records for me. Why? Could they already be sealed and only be available to law enforcement people?

    The unnamed online service may not be complete.
