Legal Question in Criminal Law in Kentucky
Expungement
I had a felony 18 yrs ago for 1 count worthless check($318.00) and 1 count bail jumping. I've tried everything to clear these but have had no success.
I have even paid an attorney and a company and all I got was forms and instructions.
I have not been arrested since this incident but it keeps hindering my employment and my life. Can anyone help?
