This means if a landlord or potential employer asks if you\u2019ve been\narrested and convicted of a crime, you can legally say no.&nbsp; There are several details and stipulations\nthat are involved with the expungement process, which is why a lawyer is highly\nrecommended. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not everyone is eligible for expungement so it is important\nto outsource professional legal assistance to facilitate the process exactly\nthe way it should.&nbsp; If a person qualifies\nfor expungement but makes a single mistake during the filing process, they lose\nout on dealing their records and cannot ever file again. You only get one chance\nto seal adult criminal records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Eligibility Requirements <\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to criminal record expungement, there are\nrules and requirements that a person must have.&nbsp;\nFor example, depending on the type of charges, a person must wait at\nleast five years from the date of conviction to even think about filing for\nrecord expungement.&nbsp; For more serious\ncrimes, a person must wait at least 8 to 10 years from the date of arrest.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, not all records are eligible for expungement; such as\nkidnapping, rape, murder, etc.&nbsp; It is\nimportant to hire a qualified and licensed attorney that specializes in\ncriminal record expungement services.&nbsp;\nBecause this law is new, there are many novice expungement services\navailable; but be sure to choose a reputable law firm that genuinely\nunderstands the law and everything it entails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where to Get Expungement Help in Indianapolis?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Call The Law Firm of Attorney David E.
