If it is your only offense you can have the conviction set-aside (expunged) in Michigan if you meet the waiting period below:

An application shall not be filed until at least 5 years following
imposition of the sentence for the conviction that the applicant seeks
to set aside or 5 years following completion of any term of imprisonment
for that conviction, whichever occurs later.

This might help in your query.

First, you can only have one adult criminal conviction or one
juvenile adjudication. If you have more than one misdemeanor conviction,
you can not have any conviction set aside. For example, if you were
convicted of driving on a suspended license (DWLS) and possession of
marijuana and you pled guilty or were found guilty of both crimes, you
are not eligible to expunge either one, even if they happened on the
same day.

Second, five years must have passed from the date you were
sentenced. If you were sentenced to prison or jail, then five years must
have passed from the date of your release. If you had a formal juvenile
adjudication you must wait until five years have passed and you must be
24 years old.
