There are several Kentucky laws which may apply to your question:

You can review these statutes on the web at: http://www.lrc.ky.gov/Statrev/frontpg.htm

You should consult an attorney to find out which of these expungement laws best applies to your situation.

You are best advised to seek the services of a competent Kentucky attorney. You can get a referral to a criminal law specialist from the Kentucky Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, at

Re: Misdemeanor expunged

If you were convicted of a misdemeanor, the cost is $25.00 as concerns court costs if you are successful at having the misdemeanor expunged. There are certain rules that the Jefferson County Courts follow- you have to have a state criminal records background attached to your request, etc., and there are statutory guidelines that have to be followed- such as it must be 2 years from the date of the end of your sentence or conviction, whichever was last. Feel free to contact me or another criminal attorney for more information.
