Clear that old DUI off your public record
A DUI conviction follows you long after the case ends. It surfaces fast. It shows up when a landlord runs a background check, when a new boss looks you up, or when you apply for a state license. In Michigan a DUI is charged as an OWI, which means operating while impaired, and for years the law kept these records open for good. The Clean Slate law changed that. The court can now set many old convictions aside, so they no longer show on a public record. If your case began with a plain first offense DUI defense, you may already sit close to the line for relief. We read the statute the way the judge reads it, then tell you plainly whether your record qualifies.
We start by pulling your full record from the Michigan State Police, since the court reads that same report. Then we check the waiting period, the count of past convictions, and any open matter that could hold you back. If you qualify, we draft the petition, gather the proof a judge wants to see, and file it with the right court. We line up the letters and records early, because a thin file is the fastest way to a denial. Then we prep you for the hearing so you walk in ready, not guessing. You speak only when it helps your case.
- We pull your full Michigan record so nothing surprises the court later.
- We confirm your waiting period and eligibility before you spend a dime.
- We draft and file the petition and every exhibit the judge expects.
- We prep you for the hearing so the day feels calm, not tense.
- We answer your calls direct, never a phone tree or a call center.
We work in Sterling Heights and across Macomb County every week, so we know the local courts and the people who run them. We know which judge wants extra proof of a clean stretch and which clerk needs the file built a certain way. That footing saves you time and keeps a small slip from sending you back to the start. We also keep you in the loop the whole way, so you are never left wondering what comes next. When you call, you reach our team, not a stranger three states away.
You have lived under this record long enough. Make the call. Tell us what happened, and we will tell you straight where you stand and what comes next. The first talk costs you nothing but a few minutes, and it may be the step that finally clears the slate.
