Indiana Expungement Law Basics 

While the expungement law does contain certain exceptions, these general rules apply:

• Expungement of Dismissed cases – can be expunged in 1 year (newer cases are automatically expunged)

• Expungement of Misdemeanor convictions – can be expunged in 5 years

• Expungement of AMS convictions – can be expunged in 5 years

• Expungement of Level 6 felony convictions – can be expunged in 8 years

• Expungement of D Felony convictions – can be expunged in 8 years

• Expungement of Major felony convictions – Some (but not all) major felony convictions can be expunged in 8 years

It is important to remember that normally, you only receive one expungement per lifetime (although this does not apply to cases that have been dismissed). It is generally not a good idea to do your own expungement as it can end badly. (If you are going on to the internet and doing google searches about expungement, then it may not be a good idea to serve as your own attorney). Lastly, in some situations, the waiting period to have your record expunged can be shortened through a process called “early expungement.” If you have questions about a legal matter in Hamilton County, Noblesville, Arcadia, Atlanta, Carmel, Cicero, Fishers, Sheridan or Westfield, please do not hesitate to contact me.
