Understanding Indiana Expungement Law

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

• Expungement of Dismissed cases – can be expunged in 1 year (newer cases are often automatically expunged after 60 days)

• Expungement of Misdemeanor convictions – can be expunged 5 years after the date of your last conviction

• Expungement of AMS convictions – can be expunged 5 years after the date of your last conviction

• Expungement of Level 6 felony convictions – can be expunged 8 years after the date of your last conviction

• Expungement of D Felony convictions – can be expunged 8 years after the date of your last conviction

• Expungement of Major felony convictions – Some (but not all) major felony convictions can be expunged 8 years after the date of your last conviction

Remember that these are general rules. For a more detailed look at the rules, it may be helpful to look at the Indiana Expungement Law Guide. You only receive one expungement per lifetime (although this does not apply to cases that have been dismissed). Lastly, it is important to note that while most cases can be sealed (meaning that they are not visible to the public), there are some cases that can be expunged but not sealed.

The Expungement Process in Cass County, Indiana

Expungement petitions in Cass County move through the local Superior and Circuit Courts, all housed together in one central building that serves the entire county. I have worked with the court staff here and appreciate how the setup helps keep things straightforward for people coming from different parts of the area.

The Cass County Government Building Serves as the Hub for Expungement Filings

All paperwork is handled at the Government Building on Court Park in Logansport, right in the downtown area near the confluence of the Wabash and Eel Rivers. This single location keeps the process organized for everyone in the county.

Nearby Towns Like Galveston and Walton Benefit from Local Court Access

Residents of Galveston, Walton, and other surrounding communities can reach the courthouse without a long drive, which makes attending any required hearings or dropping off documents much more practical.

Local Employers in Cass County Value the Privacy Expungement Provides

People working at major facilities around Logansport often tell me how important a clean record can be for background checks and future opportunities in the area.

The Downtown Logansport Location Offers Easy Parking and Access

Court Park provides convenient parking right by the building, so clients can focus on their case instead of worrying about where to leave the car when they come in for filings or hearings.

Frequently Asked Questions About Expungement in Cass County, Indiana

How can I get my criminal record expunged if I live in Walton or Galveston?

The petition still goes through the same clerk’s office in Logansport no matter which town you call home. I walk clients through gathering the right documents so the filing is complete and ready for review right from the start.

What should I expect when visiting the Cass County Clerk’s office in Court Park?

The office sits on the fourth floor of the Government Building and handles the initial intake for every expungement case. Staff there are used to these filings, and I make sure my clients know exactly what to bring so the visit goes smoothly.

Does the downtown Logansport location near the Wabash River make a difference for court appearances?

The central spot by the rivers puts the courthouse in a familiar part of town for most people, so finding it and getting there on time is rarely an issue even if you are coming from the outer parts of Cass County.

How do local employment opportunities around Logansport factor into an expungement case?

A sealed record can open doors with employers in the area, and I help clients understand exactly what information will no longer appear on standard checks once the court approves the petition.

Are there any special steps for cases heard in the Cass County Superior Courts?

The two Superior Courts share the same building and follow the same expungement rules, so the hearing process stays consistent regardless of which courtroom your case lands in.

What local landmarks help me find the courthouse when I file my expungement paperwork?

Head straight to Court Park in downtown Logansport; the Government Building stands out right by the historic riverfront area, making it easy to spot once you reach the center of town.
