Are you looking to clear your criminal record and start fresh? Felony expungement in Kentucky might be the answer. I understand the importance of leaving your past behind and moving forward with a clean slate. Here’s everything you need to know about the benefits and how we can help you through the process.
The Benefits of Felony Expungement
Better Job Opportunities: A clean record opens doors to more job prospects, allowing you to pursue careers that were previously out of reach.
Improved Housing Options: Landlords often conduct background checks, and a felony conviction can limit your housing choices. Expungement can remove this barrier.
Restored Rights: Certain rights, such as the right to vote or possess firearms, can be restored after expungement.
Peace of Mind: Removing a felony conviction from your record provides a sense of relief and a chance to fully reintegrate into society.
How to Expunge Your Felony Conviction: A Self-Help Guide
If you're considering expunging your felony conviction on your own, here's a brief overview of the steps involved:
Determine Your Eligibility: Not all felonies are eligible for expungement. Check Kentucky's expungement laws to see if your conviction qualifies.
Obtain Your Criminal Record: You'll need a copy of your criminal record, which you can get from the Kentucky State Police or the court where you were convicted.
File a Petition for Expungement: Complete the necessary forms and file a petition for expungement with the court. Be prepared to pay filing fees.
Serve the Commonwealth’s Attorney: You'll need to serve a copy of your petition to the Commonwealth’s Attorney in the county where you were convicted.
Attend the Hearing: If your petition is accepted, you'll be scheduled for a court hearing. Be ready to present your case and any supporting evidence.
While it’s possible to navigate this process on your own, it can be time-consuming and complex. Even minor errors in the paperwork or procedure can lead to delays or denials.

I've been working with Alec at Stone Law Office in Brandenburg since August 2023, continuing my work there as I make my way through law school. This summer, I've also had the opportunity to work with Steve Romines, a prominent criminal defense lawyer in Louisville. I'm looking forward to graduating and serving the community as a lawyer.
