What is Expungement?

Expungement means “sealing your criminal record”. Anyone can view your records online at my case.in.gov. A landlord or an employer can see them by running a criminal check.

 

You are not defined by your criminal record. Indiana Expungement law allows you to “clean up” your criminal record. With the exception of dismissed cases, you can only get one expungement in your lifetime so it is important to have no errors in your expungement petition.

What is the process?

Once you contact Greg Spencer Law about your expungement, we will ask for your full name, date of birth, and the counties where you had criminal convictions. If you qualify, we will set up an account in mycase.com where you can make a payment for the legal fee and the court filing fee ( the payment that goes to the Court at the time of filing your expungement.)

How soon can I expunge my criminal case?

There are different waiting periods that have to be met in order to petition the court for an expungement. Those times depend on the type of case being expunged.


  1. Arrest Records and Charges Not Resulting in a Conviction. If you were arrested and no charges were filed against you, or if charges were filed and they were eventually dismissed or you were found not guilty after a trial you must wait at least one (1) year from the date you were arrested or charged.   
  2. Misdemeanors and Convictions Resulting in Alternative Misdemeanor Sentencing (AMS). If you were convicted of a misdemeanor or you had a Class D felony or a Level 6 felony reduced to a misdemeanor my means of Alternative Misdemeanor Sentencing (AMS) you must wait at least five (5) years from the date you were convicted. 
  3. Class D Felonies and/or Level 6 Felonies. If you were convicted of a Class D felony or a Level 6 Felony you must wait at least eight (8) years from the date you were convicted.

What else is required?

Before your petition for expungement can be filed, you must not have any current charges pending. In addition to the waiting period outlined above, you must also have all of your court costs, fees and any restitution paid in full before the petition for expungement can be filed. There are certain other restrictions that will be discussed with you after a review of your criminal history can be made. Finally, there are certain types of criminal convictions that are not allowed to be expunged. Please contact GREG SPENCER LAW today to discuss your eligibility.

  • Crimes that resulted in serious bodily injury and crimes committed while serving an elected public office.

How will expunged records show up ?
