Hi
I am looking for a lawyer referral, for an attorney that has expertise and knows the process of Court Record Sealing, and arrest and fingerprint record purging in Michigan, also for any advice regarding the matter below:
A friend of mine received a delayed sentence, and the charge was dismissed upon completion of the "delayed sentence" probation.
There was no actual sentence since there was no conviction.
I was going through the forum "Pardons and Expungement" and I read this from an earlier post:
"If you received a dismissal instead of a conviction upon completion of your sentence (e.g., a deferred probation), you may be able to petition for an Order of Non-Disclosure which would seal your record"
My friend is looking for the Circuit court records to be sealed. (Maybe a petition for an Order of Non-Disclosure??) His case took place in the Macomb County Circuit Court in Michigan.
He wants to make sure that the charges do not show during an employment background check.
I would greatly appreciate your help regarding any advice or referral!
P.S. I called the State Bar of Michigan for a referral but they weren’t much help.
Thank you,
John
