“RecordGone took care of my record when I thought I could not do anything about it. I had lost out on a few jobs because of my record, now I know employers will look at my skills and not my background. I really want to thank recordgone, there are no right words to explain how great it was.”
- Frank from Orange
Michigan Record Sealing Michigan Court Rules § 8.119(F) 
Michigan laws allows a person to file a written motion to a court to seal records pertaining to a case. The case can be sealed in part or in whole. The written motion must identify a “specific interest” for the sealing, and that there are no less restrictive alternatives. If granted, the order will only seal the court records of the case—not the records held by law enforcement agencies such as the arresting agency or the Department of State police.
The court will only grant it if there is “good cause” and “there is no less restrictive means to adequately and effectively protect the specific interest asserted.” The court will consider the interest of the parties involved in the case as well as the interest of the public in having access to the records. Under another court rule, Rule 8.119(E), there is a strong presumption in favor of public access to court records and keeping the records public.
The courts operate on a first-come, first-served basis, so the sooner you start, the sooner your record is sealed.
