Re: Espungment
First, the word is "expunge". But the actual process in Michigan is called "setting aside a conviction".
Second, you can only set aside a conviction if it is your one and only criminal conviction ... felony or misdemeanor. I'm guessing that you have MORE than one conviction, since you ask if you can set aside "only one felony"? If you have MORE THAN ONE misdemeanor and/or felony, you cannot set aside ANY conviction.
Third, if you have only one prior conviction, you must wait 5 years after you're done with the court system on the case (jail/prison/probation/parole) before going back to the court-of-conviction to seek to set it aside.
