If the conviction is in the State of Michigan a person licensed to practice law in the State of Michigan is required unless you are filing pro se (on behalf of yourself).

Yes, you need a Michigan lawyer to file the expungement motion in the trial court where you were convicted and file the necessary paperwork and notice on all required parties. It's also a good idea to consult with a Michigan criminal lawyer to discuss your eligibility to have the conviction set aside. You want to make sure it's done proper and right because if you are denied, you cannot petition again for another three years.
