how long do misdemeanors stay on record
If eligible for an expungement, you will have to wait at least five years before applying. Thank you for your inquiry In Michigan, there are not class 1 misdemeanors. Any misdemeanor can be expunged after 5 years if there are no other offenses on your record. In your case, the better result would have been a deferred sentence or a YTA plea. Since it is long past that point, there is really nothing you can do save for a motion to vacate the original plea.
