A criminal record can be a significant barrier to employment, impacting a person's ability to find quality work. In Indiana, expungement offers a way to overcome these barriers.
The Employment Challenge: Employers often perform background checks that can reveal past criminal convictions, potentially leading to automatic disqualification for some jobs, especially those in sensitive sectors.
Benefits of Expungement:
Broader Employment Opportunities: With a clean record, more job opportunities become available, particularly in fields that previously might have been closed off, such as education, healthcare, and government positions.
Professional Licenses: Expungement may restore eligibility for professional licenses and certifications that are necessary for certain careers.
Expungement acts as a critical lever for employment equality and opportunity. By removing the stigma of a criminal record, it allows individuals to fully participate in the economy and society. If you’re interested in obtaining an expungement, contact Brinkley Law today at 317-643-1813.
