Clear Your Record. Reclaim Your Future.
A past mistake shouldn’t hold you back forever. If you’ve been arrested or convicted of a crime in Indiana, you may be eligible to have your criminal record sealed or expunged. At Cannon Bruns & Murphy, LLC, we help individuals throughout Muncie, Portland, and Hartford City take control of their futures by petitioning for expungement under Indiana’s Second Chance Law.
Our team understands the impact that a criminal record can have on employment, housing, education, and peace of mind. We’re here to help you move forward—confidently and legally—with a clean slate.
What Is Expungement?
Expungement is a legal process that allows eligible individuals to remove or restrict public access to certain criminal records. Once granted, your expunged records are sealed from public view, making it easier to apply for jobs, housing, and more.
You may qualify if:
- You were arrested but not convicted
- Your charges were dismissed
- You completed a diversion program
- You were convicted of a misdemeanor or certain felonies
- You’ve completed your sentence and satisfied the waiting period
- You have no new charges or pending criminal matters
Each case is unique, and eligibility depends on multiple factors—including the type of offense, how much time has passed, and your full criminal history.
Our Expungement Services Include:
- Reviewing your criminal history for eligibility
- Preparing and filing expungement petitions with the appropriate court
- Representing you at expungement hearings (if required)
- Correcting public records and BMV data when applicable
- Advising you on rights restored after expungement
Your Past Doesn’t Have to Define You
Indiana law recognizes that people can change—and you deserve the chance to leave past mistakes behind. Whether you’re looking for a better job, housing opportunity, or simply peace of mind, Cannon Bruns & Murphy, LLC is ready to help you pursue a fresh start.
