Criminal Record Expungement in Indiana

A background check can be a scary proposition for some people. Thanks to Indiana’s expungement laws, this does not need to be the case. In 2013, sweeping changes were made to Indiana laws regarding an individual’s right to have their criminal convictions and arrests expunged or sealed. Many people recently became eligible (and more become eligible each day) to clean up their records thanks to the addition of Indiana Code § 35-38-9 to Indiana’s laws. Under these new laws, people who have put their past mistakes behind them can get a fresh start by sealing their arrest records and expunging convictions from their criminal history. Because the law now directs that employers must treat prospective employees with expungements as if their convictions did not happen, many companies and businesses may expect that applicants have cleaned up their records before submitting their applications. Getting an expungement can open up new opportunities for people who had previously been held back by their records. At Black Clay LLC, we’ve helped dozens of people, throughout the state of Indiana, including residents of Indianapolis and Carmel, get their arrests and convictions sealed or expunged. The process is generally quick and painless, and most of our representation is done at a flat, affordable legal fee. However, expungements are not always straightforward.
