No, under the current standards to qualify to petition to set aside a conviction in Michigan. Historically, the qualification limit was having one and only one misdemeanor of felony conviction in order to be able to set THAT conviction aside. Last year, the qualification standards were relaxed slightly to let you set aside one felony conviction if you also had no more than 2 additional "minor misdemeanor" convictions (committed between ages 17 and 20, and were also no more than 90-day level misdemeanors). You have two felonies, so you're not eligible to apply to set aside either one.
