A Fresh Start Begins Here

Expungement Support Hub

At Present Pillars, we believe every father, every family and every community member deserves a fair chance to rebuild. Our Expungement Support Hub connects you with the resources, partners and guidance you need to navigate Michigan’s Clean Slate laws with confidence.

Whether you are preparing to attend an Expungement Fair or beginning the process on your own, this page is your one-stop guide.

What Is Expungement?

Expungement is the legal process that seals certain criminal records from public view, helping remove barriers to employment, housing, education and overall stability. Michigan’s Clean Slate laws expanded eligibility, making record-sealing possible for thousands of residents.

Present Pillars supports this journey by offering access to attorneys, legal aid partners, fingerprinting, notary services and community-based navigation at select events throughout the year.
