Records Repair

Correct the Record. Move Forward.

Criminal records can affect your ability to get a job, secure housing, or move forward with your life — even if the case was dismissed or the charges were dropped. Sarah E. Ober helps clients throughout Noble, Kosciusko, LaGrange, DeKalb, Steuben and Whitley counties address and repair inaccuracies, outdated entries, and other issues that appear in public or background check records.

Whether you need help clearing a dismissed charge, correcting a court record, or removing a mistake from your background report, Sarah will take the time to understand your situation and explain your legal options. She offers honest advice and carefully prepares every filing, ensuring your case is handled with the care it deserves.

What Is Records Repair?

Records repair refers to the legal process of correcting or updating criminal or court-related information that may be:

• Incorrect or outdated

• Publicly visible when it should not be

• Reflecting dismissed charges or arrests

• Damaging to your employment, housing, or personal reputation

Sarah also assists with:

• Removing incorrect entries from third-party background checks

• Petitioning the court for corrections or sealing of records

• Determining eligibility for felony reduction and expungement

Expungement in Indiana

If you were arrested, charged, or convicted of certain crimes in Indiana, you may qualify for expungement — the legal process that removes entries from public view and limits access to them by employers and background check agencies.

Expungement may be available for:

• Arrests that did not result in charges

• Charges that were dismissed

• Certain misdemeanor and felony convictions after a waiting period

Sarah will review your criminal history, determine your eligibility, and guide you through the expungement process step by step.

If you qualify, expungement can seal part or all of your criminal record.

When Expungement Is Not Enough

Expungement is a powerful tool, but it is not always the right option — or the only one. Some clients need assistance correcting errors, updating data, or sealing information that remains visible online. Records repair services can be a first step, or a companion to formal expungement.

Sarah can help you decide what is appropriate for your situation.
