A no contest plea is the same as a guilty plea from a criminal law standpoint. The difference is that by pleading no contest, your plea cannot later be used against you in any civil case related to the offense.In MI an expungment is also known as "Setting Aside A Conviction". However this remedy is not available to anyone who has been convicted of a felony. So I'm afraid it appears that you will not be able to clear your criminal history record.You may want to discuss your situation directly with a criminal law attorney who specializes in these cases. They can advise you further.
