We all make mistakes in life. Those mistakes shouldn’t follow you around forever, especially if you’ve already served your sentence and paid the price. Everyone deserves the chance to learn from their past and put it behind them.
At Pharr Law Group, we believe in fighting for second chances. Our expungement lawyer in Louisville, Sean Pharr, has more than a decade of award-winning experience in Kentucky criminal law. We can help you clear your criminal record so you can move on with your life.
The consequences of a criminal charge or conviction don’t end at the conclusion of your case. Your criminal record could negatively affect your future and prevent you from making your dreams come true. In fact, just a single arrest or conviction could make it extremely difficult to get a job, buy a house or rent an apartment, start a business, or pursue other opportunities in life. Because of this impact, many people get stuck in a cycle of incarceration – they’re unable to find a decent place to live or earn a living, so they find themselves in further trouble with the law. Felonies are particularly harsh in this record.
You deserve to be free from these collateral consequences. We can help you secure that freedom.
The process for expungement in Kentucky involves multiple steps. You must obtain an expungement certification, which shows that you are eligible for expungement. You must then file an expungement petition with the appropriate court. The prosecutor will have a chance to object to the expungement. You might need to attend a hearing.
Many things can go wrong at each step in this process. It’s highly technical and often confusing. We can review your criminal record, provide guidance on whether you’re eligible for expungement, and, if so, represent you at each step of the way.
Expungement in Kentucky legally removes a record of an arrest, charge, or conviction so that—on most official background checks—it no record exists. If an expungement is granted, individuals may lawfully say it never happened for many purposes, such as employment or applying for credit.
If a case is acquitted or dismissed with prejudice on or after July 15, 2020, it is automatically expunged 30 days later—no filing required (except traffic-related cases). Affected parties will receive notice, and relevant agencies are informed.
Costs: Total fee is $300—$50 non-refundable up-front, with $250 due upon approval. Payment plans may be allowed.
