The Expungement law in Indiana under I.C. 53-38-9 grants most individuals charged with various crimes the ability to have all or most of the documented arrest and conviction reports erased from your record permanently. However, in order to ensure your record will be properly and completely expunged from the various government agencies in the State, you need an experienced Indiana expungement lawyer to assist you. Kevin Potts has handled numerous expungements throughout Indiana and has the statutory knowledge and litigation experience to make sure your expungement is handled correctly the first time so there are no lingering issues down the road involving a lack of communication between the various government agencies involved. This could lead to some or all aspects of your criminal history being visible to some entities.
Under I.C. 53-38-9 there are many criteria that must be met to both qualify for an expungement and to meet the procedural demands of the filing and distributing of the motion and order. An example of one such criterion would consist of the time frame required before filing a petition to expunge. In Indiana, the expungement statute demands the following time laps after the following convictions to qualify for an expungement petition:
Dismissed case/no conviction: 1 year
Misdemeanor conviction: 5 years
D Felony/Level 6 conviction: 8 years
Other Felony convictions: 8 years or 3 years from sentence completion date
Serious Felony convictions: 10 years or 5 years from sentence completion date
