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 Hendricks County centers around the historic courthouse right in Danville, right on US 36 which cuts straight through the middle of town. I work regularly with clients who come in from the fast-growing eastern side of the county, where Plainfield sits near the National Road and the airport corridor, Brownsburg lines up along I-74, and Avon continues to expand outward. The layout makes the trip straightforward for most folks living in those communities, and the downtown setting gives the whole experience a small-town feel even as the county keeps growing.
