Kentucky Expunge Criminal Felony Records
Don't let being falsely accused ruin the rest of your life by lost job opportunities and reputation. Expunge your criminal felony record and arrest or DUI and seal the records. Anyone in Kentucky can be accused no matter how ridiculous the charges. If your record can be expunged it should be done to prevent real consequences. Kentucky's laws say judges must expunge misdemeanor convictions, but they can reject expungement motions for cases that end in acquittal or dismissal. Some Judges will expunge felony records that have been dismissed or ended in acquittals but they have the power to reject them. From 2003 to 2005, over 12,000 criminal cases have been expunged. Even convictions have been ordered sealed. Here are the sections governing how to expunge criminal records.

Our 1992 statute says judges, must expunge misdemeanor convictions five years after completion of the person's sentence if the applicant has no other criminal violations within that time.
Felony convictions are not eligible to be expunged, except for Class D possession of a controlled substance -- the lowest felony level.
A 1996 law says that judges have discretion whether to expunge misdemeanor or felony cases that result in dismissals or acquittals. The exception is spousal abuse, which judges must expunge if the charges are dismissed or end in acquittal. Former Jefferson District Judge Paul Gold, who wrote the 1996 expungement statute for dismissed cases, said he intended to give judges a choice so that cases dismissed on a technicality could be expunged at discretion and those dismissed on the merits and improperly charged in the first place.
Under expungement law, felony cases dismissed with prejudice -- meaning the charges can't be refiled -- are eligible to be erased. But felony diverted cases are classified as only "dismissed-diverted," leaving open the question of whether expungement applies causing confusion.
