Legal Question in DUI Law in Kentucky

A DUI 1st conviction can be expunged, as long as the following conditions are met (KRS 431.078):

1. The person had no previous felony conviction;

2. The person had not been convicted of any other misdemeanor or violation offense in the five (5) years prior to the conviction sought to be expunged;

3. The person had not since the time of the conviction sought to be expunged been convicted of a felony, a misdemeanor, or a violation;

4. No proceeding concerning a felony, misdemeanor, or violation is pending or being instituted against the person; and

5. The offense was an offense against the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

Once you've had another conviction or violation (and that's any violation, even traffic matters), after a conviction, you cannot get the charge expunged. So you cannot get the 1998 charges expunged because you had a later DUI. You also cannot get the 2002 charge expunged, because it came 4 years after the first charge.
