How long does a misdemeanor stay on your record in Indiana?

Answer 1

Indiana, misdemeanors are usually able to be expunged from public viewing, Ie if a criminal background check is done, and you get a lawyer or petition the courts, most misdemeanors will be sealed from public. Although no conviction is truly erased from the states criminal database. A lawyer to do this will run 500 to 1,000 usd. Your cost of petitioning the courts yourself will cost nothing, but with a lawyer , the rate of expunging is higher. Good luck, also usually wouldn't even attempt until your probation is completed satisfactory , and 1 year time has lapsed with no other charges. Will be a waste of time if this happens.

Answer 2

Indiana's statute of limitations is based on the seriousness of the crime charged. Murder and Class A Felonies have no limit. The other felonies are set at 5 years with extensions for underage victims and DNA evidence. Misdemeanors are set as 2 years. Absence from the state or concealing the evidence can toll the statute.

Answer 3

No. Domestic Vioplence is one of those class of offenses for which there is no SOL.
