how long does the misdemeanor will stay in your record
Thomas J. Tomko Attorney At law | Thomas J. Tomko. 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.
