Indiana Second Chance Law Basics
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 Warrick County starts with preparing your petition and filing it directly at the Judicial Center in Boonville, where the Superior and Circuit Courts handle these matters for everyone in the county. Clients coming from the Newburgh riverfront or the growing areas around Chandler tell me how much they appreciate that everything is centralized in one location rather than scattered across multiple buildings.

Working Directly with the Clerk’s Office at the Judicial Center
The Clerk’s staff in Boonville manages the intake for expungement petitions, and I have found their process straightforward when all required documents are organized upfront, which helps keep things moving through the local docket.
Scheduling Hearings in the Local Superior and Circuit Courts
Once filed, hearings are typically set in one of the Warrick County courtrooms right there in Boonville, giving me the chance to advocate for clients in the same building where the records originated.
Coordinating Service and Notices Across Warrick County Communities
Because the county stretches from the Ohio River up toward Chandler and beyond, I make sure all notices and service requirements are handled efficiently so clients do not have to worry about geographic details slowing down their fresh start.
Frequently Asked Questions About Expungement in Warrick County, Indiana
Where exactly is the Warrick County Clerk’s Office located for filing my expungement petition?
The Clerk’s Office sits at One County Square, Suite 200 in Boonville, right in the heart of the Judicial Center, and I always double-check the suite number with clients before we submit so everything reaches the right desk the first time.

Most of the work can be handled by mail or through my office, but any required hearing will be at the Boonville courthouse, which is an easy drive for Newburgh residents along the Ohio River corridor.
How does Warrick County’s location near the Ohio River affect service of process in expungement cases?
Because parts of the county border the river, I pay close attention to proper service addresses for anyone living or working near the water, making sure notices reach the correct spot without delay.
What should I know about expungement hearings if my original case came from Chandler or Lynnville?
All Warrick County cases are heard in Boonville regardless of the original arrest location, so I help clients from Chandler and the northern parts of the county prepare for a single, focused hearing at the Judicial Center.
Is there anything unique about background checks for jobs at local manufacturers after an expungement in Warrick County?
I guide clients through the sealing process so that once granted, the record is no longer visible to most private employers, which can be especially helpful for those applying at facilities around Newburgh and Chandler.
How quickly can the Boonville courthouse typically schedule an expungement hearing?
The local docket in Warrick County moves efficiently once the petition is properly filed, and I stay in regular contact with the court staff to keep my clients updated on their exact hearing date.
