Clearing Your Record Doesn’t Have to Be Complicated

If the idea of expungement in Indiana confounds you, you’re not alone. The law’s nuances - different categories, waiting periods, and procedural requirements - can overwhelm anyone. That’s why this process isn’t one you should tackle alone.

Here’s a quick breakdown:

• Automatic Expungements: Arrests without conviction may qualify immediately.

• Misdemeanors & Level 6 Felonies: Eligible after waiting periods, unless the prosecutor shortens it.

• Felonies: Requires 8 to 10 years post-conviction or sentencing. Some serious felonies, like those involving violence or death are ineligible.

Then, there’s the paperwork. Indiana courts require expungement petitions to be filed under an "XP" cause type and handled with confidentiality sometimes using green paper for private info like your SSN. A misstep here can lead to rejection.

That’s where Brinkley Law stands apart. We simplify each step:
