Don’t Make the Biggest Mistake<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
When it comes to petitioning for criminal history expungement,\nthe worst mistake you can make is to NOT hire a qualified lawyer. Attempting to\npetition for expungement on your own is a huge set up for disaster. Not only is\nthe legal process and actual petition both highly complex, petitioners only get\none chance in their entire lifetime to apply for expungement. The petition is\nso strict and complicated that just a single, insignificant mistake, like a\nskipped line or misspelled name, will revoke a person’s petition. After a petition\nis revoked, you do not get another try. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A criminal defense lawyer who specializes in expungement and\nsealing services will ensure that a petition is filled out precisely, submitted\non time and to the proper departments. All of these elements of the petition\nprocess are vital. But filing a criminal record expungement petition correctly\nis not the only thing you must ensure. There is also the matter of qualifying. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Qualification for Expungement<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
In order to be eligible for criminal record expungement,\nthere are certain facts that must exist. The most important requirement is that\na person must be 18 years of age to petition for criminal record expungement in\nIndiana. Additional qualification factors are time and charge. A specific\namount of time must pass from the date of the arrest in order for a petitioner\nto be eligible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For instance, a person expunging a basic misdemeanor DUI\ncharge must wait at least 5 years from the date of their arrest. This will\naffect your child\u2019s petition since they will likely not be eligible until they\nare already a legal adult. For example, if your child was arrested on their 16th<\/sup>\nbirthday for drug possession, they won\u2019t be eligible for expungement until they\nare 21 years old. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Call Attorney David E.
