Your son’s DUI conviction in Louisville, Kentucky can be cleared by way of expungement. In Kentucky, DUI misdemeanor convictions can be expunged under certain conditions. A DUI conviction for first, second, or third offense is considered a misdemeanor in Kentucky, while subsequent DUI convictions within a 5 year period are considered felonies. In Kentucky DUI law, a first DUI conviction can be expunged so long as certain conditions are met.

The conditions under which a DUI can be expunged is first, the person had no previous felony conviction. Second is that the person had not been convicted of any other misdemeanor or violation offense in the five years prior to the conviction sought to be expunged. Also, the person had not since the time of the conviction sought to be expunged been convicted of a felony, a misdemeanor, or a violation. Fourth is that no proceeding concerning a felony, misdemeanor, or violation is pending or being instituted against the person. Lastly, the offense was an offense against the state of Kentucky.
