Legal Question in Criminal Law in Michigan
Expungement
I was arrested due to a vindictive
girlfriend who accused me
of domestic violence. I was arrested
and booked in Eaton County of
Michigan. I met with the prosecutor a
week later and she informed me she
would be dropping the case because
it was clear this was vindictiveness,
on top of I'm a muscular young man
and my ex had no type of bruises,
abrasions, scars, etc. on her. Plus I
saved every document I had, text, E-
mails, and facebook messages of my
ex incriminating herself; death
threats to my family, how she would
pay me back for leaving her, constant
acts of harassment towards me, and
so on. So I was convicted of nothing
and shouldn't have been arrested in
the first place. Prior to this situation,
I have never been arrested in my life
or ever had any criminal encounter
with a police office since I was 17
when I received a minor speeding
ticket. I'm 22 now and this incident
with my ex happened when I was
21. I'm currently a senior at a private
University and have a 3.2 G.P.A and
plan on acquiring a full time position,
and beginning graduate school in the
fall at MSU. I don't want this to affect
my future, so my question is how will
I go about getting this expunged?

Re: Expungement
If you were never charged, there is nothing to expunge. You might want to have a lawyer fill out court form 235 on your behalf and ask the court to order your fingerprint and arrest cards destroyed. That way there will not be any record of the incident. If you need help with this, contact my office.
Re: Expungement
You won't have to get it expunged if you enter a plea under the the domestic violence act, i.e., it won't get into your record in the first place
