In this episode of the Kelly & Kelly Law Podcast, Kevin from Borealis Digital Marketing is joined by criminal defense attorney Mike Kelly to discuss juvenile criminal records in Michigan and whether they truly go away.
Mike explains the difference between juvenile offenses and status offenses, how juvenile cases are handled in court, and what it means for a record to be formally adjudicated. We also cover who can access juvenile records, how fingerprinting affects long-term visibility, and the key differences between sealed and expunged records.
The episode breaks down which offenses may qualify for expungement, which serious charges do not, and why getting a defense attorney involved early can protect a child’s future educational and career opportunities.
If your child has been involved in the juvenile court system or you’re concerned about how a past offense may impact college, employment, or military service, this episode provides clear guidance on what you need to know.
