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 Greene County courts sit right in the heart of Bloomfield at the historic courthouse square, and I regularly appear there to help clients from every corner of the county clear their records. Whether you live in Linton with its busy hospital and manufacturing jobs or in quieter spots like Jasonville, the process starts at the same central location on East Main Street.

Petitions are filed with the clerk’s office inside the 1885 courthouse that anchors the traditional town square in Bloomfield. Its central location off State Road 54 makes the trip straightforward for anyone driving from Linton or the surrounding townships.
Serving the Rural Communities Around Linton and Jasonville
The Greene County court system handles cases from across the county’s rolling hills and wooded areas, including those near the major employers in Linton and the technology corridor tied to Crane. I help clients coordinate filings so the distance from these outlying areas does not slow things down.

The clerk’s staff at the Bloomfield courthouse processes everything from petitions to notifications, and I have found their office layout and routines make the steps predictable once you know where to go on the square.

With I-69 providing easy access to the county and State Road 54 leading straight into Bloomfield, petitioners from Linton or Jasonville can reach the courthouse square quickly, and I always review the best routes with clients so hearings fit their schedules.
