How can I get my juvenile csc case off my record I did not have access to a fair trial. I was only 14 years old and did not understand anything that was going on. My lawyer also fell asleep during my hearing

In Michigan, you may be able to challenge your juvenile conviction or seek to expunge it from your record. Here are general steps:
- Appeal or Motion for Relief: If you believe your trial was fundamentally unfair (e.g., lawyer misconduct), you may be able to file a motion to reopen or appeal the case. This typically requires legal assistance.

- Expungement of Juvenile Record: Michigan allows expungement of certain juvenile records. You'll need to petition the court, and eligibility depends on the offense and time since completion of your sentence.
