Expungement / Record Sealing

Most individuals convicted of a crime are denied many job opportunities and housing. You may be eligible to have your conviction expunged and be given a second chance if you have been convicted of an OWI, misdemeanor, or even felony.

Take advantage of the new law and have your conviction expunged with the help of the efficient attorneys at Law Office Of Ben Murphy.

Updated Indiana's Expungement Law

Effective July 1, 2013, the Indiana legislature changed the expungement law, which gives people a second chance. The law allows any individual charged with a crime and not convicted of the offense, after one year, to petition the court to seal the record.

Individuals convicted of any misdemeanor or Class D felony reduced to a Class A misdemeanor, such as OWI, reckless driving, domestic battery, battery, public intoxication, resisting law enforcement, conversion, invasion of privacy, fraud, theft, sexual battery, or any other offense where the judgment is entered as a misdemeanor, may have their conviction expunged after five years from the date of the conviction as long as they have completed their sentence, have a valid driver’s license, have no pending criminal cases, and have not been convicted of another crime for five years.

Individuals convicted of a Class D felony may also have their conviction expunged under certain circumstances. Eight years after the date of conviction, certain Class D felonies may be expunged as long as they have completed the sentence, have a valid license, have no pending criminal cases and have not been convicted of another crime for 8 years. However, certain Class D felonies and certain individuals based upon their particular circumstances are exempt. Even higher level felonies may have their convictions expunged.
