About Unconvicted
Unconvicted started as a blog in January 2016, following House Bill 40 through the General Assembly day by day. When Governor Bevin signed it that April, the site became the first place Kentuckians could check whether the new law applied to them. More than a thousand people used that first version. Since then we have expunged more than 10,000 charges for Kentuckians in courts across the state.
It is run by Brad Clark, a criminal defense lawyer at Clark + Harris PLLC in Lexington, who practices in state courts across Kentucky and in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky, and who serves on the board of the Kentucky Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.
Expungement cases are handled by Brad and by Dan Parker, also of Clark + Harris. Dan is usually the one who reads your court record first and calls you back.
In the news
Unconvicted has been covered by USA Today, the Courier-Journal, the Lexington Herald-Leader, CBS, WKMS and Lawyerist.
When expungement isn’t available
Some records can’t be expunged: Class C felonies and above, the excluded offenses, federal and out-of-state convictions. For those, federal firearms rights restoration under 18 U.S.C. § 925(c) reopened in 2025 after thirty years. Clark + Harris runs a dedicated practice for it at Bluegrass Gun Rights.
