What expungement does
When a Kentucky court expunges a case, the record is removed from the court system, the state police, and every agency that held it. The court will say no record exists. You can answer “no” on a job, housing, or loan application when it asks about it, and your right to vote comes back with it.
Kentucky now allows expungement of most Class D felonies, unlimited misdemeanors, and any charge that was dismissed or acquitted. Most people who finished their sentence five or more years ago qualify for something.
How it works
- Answer a few questions about each case. You get a provisional answer on the spot: eligible now, eligible on a date, or not eligible.
- A lawyer pulls your record and confirms it against the court file for a flat $50, credited toward the full fee.
- We file everything. Certification, petitions, the prosecutor, the hearing if there is one. Most clients never leave home.
