Expungement Lawyer in Louisville, KY
Clear Your Record, Reclaim Your Future
A criminal charge or conviction can haunt you for years — even long after you’ve paid your dues. It can keep you from getting jobs, housing, professional licenses, and peace of mind. But in many cases, Kentucky law allows you to expunge your record and move forward with a clean slate.
At Farra Law Firm, we help eligible clients in Louisville and across Jefferson County petition the courts for expungement. Whether your case ended in a dismissal, diversion, or conviction, attorney Matt Farra will help you understand your options, eligibility, and the steps to finally put the past behind you.
What Is Expungement in Kentucky?
Expungement is the legal process of removing or sealing your criminal record from public view. Once expunged, the offense:
- Is no longer visible on background checks
- Can legally be denied on job, housing, or school applications
- No longer impacts your public record or reputation
This process restores dignity, privacy, and opportunity — especially for those who have made positive changes and just want to move on.
Types of Charges Eligible
for Expungement
Misdemeanors
- Most Class A & B misdemeanors
- Must complete a 5-year waiting period (from sentence completion)
- Must have no new charges during that time
Dismissed Charges or Acquittals

Felony Expungement (Limited Eligibility)

Why Expungement Matters
Even a single conviction — or just an arrest — can limit your future opportunities. Expungement can help you:
- Get a job or promotion
- Apply for housing or a mortgage
- Rebuild your reputation
- Regain eligibility for certain licenses or benefits
- Restore peace of mind and move on with confidence
You deserve more than a second chance — you deserve a fresh start.
