Lexington KY Criminal Defense Attorney Breck Norment offers affordable pricing to assist with expungements
Are you having a hard time getting a job in Lexington KY because of your criminal history report? Is an old charge or conviction from Fayette County, Kentucky haunting your life today? If you're eligible, you owe it to yourself to expunge those charges and/or convictions from your record. Lexington KY criminal defense attorney Breck Norment handles expungements regularly and offers competitive pricing to assist you in cleaning up your record.
An old criminal conviction, or even criminal charges which were ultimately dismissed, can negatively affect your ability to get hired by an employer. Many employers perform background checks on their future employees before hiring them, and the results of that check could get you passed over for someone else with a clean record.
Generally speaking, there are certain requirements for expunging charges and/or convictions from your record. For example, the offense must be a misdemeanor, violation, or traffic offense arising from a single incident. Felonies cannot be expunged. The petition cannot be filed sooner than five (5) years after the completion of the person's sentence or five (5) years after the successful completion of the person's probation, whichever occurs later. Sex offenses or offenses against a child cannot be expunged. Other requirements include:
1. The person must have no previous felony conviction;
2. The person must have no misdemeanor or violation conviction in the five (5) years prior to the conviction sought to be expunged;
3. The person must not have been convicted of a felony, a misdemeanor, or a violation since the time of the conviction sought to be expunged;
4. The person must not have a pending felony, misdemeanor, or violation charge; and
5. The offense must be an offense against the Commonwealth of Kentucky. KRS 431.078.
If you've been found not guilty of a crime with which you were charged or if your charges were dismissed with prejudice, you may be eligible to expunge your record sixty (60) days following the order of acquittal or dismissal by the court. KRS 431.076.
Other requirements and rules must be met for an expungement, but the foregoing gives you a general idea of some of the statutory requirements for an expungement. Be sure to ask Mr. Norment whether you meet the requirements, and he will be able to evaluate your individual circumstances. Don't worry, the initial consultation is free.
