Helping You Clear Your Record and Start Fresh

Attorney Guy Haskell has helped countless individuals successfully expunge or seal their records. With years of legal experience and a deep understanding of Indiana’s expungement statutes, he works to give clients the second chance they deserve. Whether your goal is to remove an old conviction, seal a dismissed charge, or erase the record of an arrest, Haskell Law is here to help you move forward with confidence.

What Is Expungement?

Expungement is a legal process that allows eligible individuals to have certain criminal records erased or sealed from public view. Once expunged, your record will appear as if the offense never occurred. That means employers, landlords, and most members of the public will no longer be able to see the charges.

Indiana’s expungement law is among the most generous in the country, allowing many people with old convictions or dismissed cases to qualify. Expungement may apply to:

  • Arrests that did not lead to conviction

  • Misdemeanor convictions

  • Certain felony convictions

  • Dismissed charges or cases

  • Records older than a specific number of years

Attorney Haskell reviews each case carefully to determine eligibility and ensures that every petition is filed correctly and completely.

Why Record Sealing or Expungement Matters

Having a clean record can make a world of difference. The benefits of expungement go beyond removing legal barriers; it opens the door to a more stable and successful future. Expungement can:

  • Improve employment and career opportunities

  • Help with professional licensing and certifications

  • Restore firearm rights in certain cases

  • Make it easier to obtain housing

  • Provide peace of mind and personal closure

No one should be defined by their past. Expungement gives people the chance to move forward without being held back by old mistakes or dismissed cases that still appear on background checks.
