Free Expungement Presentation, July 28, 2026
Fort Wayne, Indiana (June 23, 2026) – A free presentation by local attorney, Heidi Fowler, explaining Indiana’s Expungement Law and local resources for legal assistance will be given on Tuesday, July 28 beginning at 6 p.m. The event will be held at the Auditorium at Ivy Tech Community College – Coliseum Campus, 3800 N. Anthony Blvd. Use door #6 facing Crescent Avenue.
Indiana’s law allows a one-time opportunity for some low-level convictions, misdemeanors, and arrest records to be expunged (sealed) from criminal records. The Second Chance Initiative, a partnership of the Volunteer Center and the Volunteer Lawyer Program, offers individuals that meet qualification requirements the opportunity to have their Indiana conviction records expunged.
Volunteer Center Executive Director Ani Etter states, “A criminal record is one of the largest obstacles to better housing, employment, and education. The Second Chance Initiative provides a door to better opportunities for the future.”
