Indiana Expungement Attorney
James E. Porter
Mission
Anyone who has paid their debt to society should be allowed to go through life without the stigma of a criminal record following him or her. Employment opportunities are often lost for qualified applicants who have a criminal history. I am committed to helping Hoosiers who want to leave their criminal record in the past and move on to a better future.
Services
