Felony Expungement
Seal a portion of your criminal record today
What It Is
Effective July 1, 2013, Indiana's Second Chance Law (Code 35-38-9) allows applicants to petition the courts to have certain parts of their criminal record sealed.
Why Get It
Felony convictions prevent many people from full participation in our society. Expungement restores dignity and access to jobs, voting, public resources, and aid.
How To Do It

“Today’s lynching is a felony charge. Today’s lynching is incarceration. Today’s lynch mobs are professionals. They have a badge; they have a law degree. A felony is a modern way of saying, ‘I’m going to hang you up and burn you.’ Once you get that F, you’re on fire.”
― Michelle Alexander, The New Jim Crow
