Expungement in Bowling Green
Clearing a Kentucky record in Warren County works the same way as everywhere else in the state. Here is what is specific to Bowling Green, and how to find out in two minutes whether you qualify.
Where your case gets filed
Expungements are filed in the court that decided the original case: Warren Circuit Court for felonies and Warren District Court for misdemeanors, at the Warren County Justice Center. The petition goes to the Warren County Commonwealth’s Attorney (felonies) or County Attorney (misdemeanors), who has sixty days to respond. If they do not object, the court can grant it without a hearing, and most clients never appear.
Warren County was the fourth most common county among the thousands of people who have used our eligibility check since 2016. We handle South-Central and Western Kentucky from our Lexington office and, for part of the year, from Western Kentucky directly.
Who we help here
People from Bowling Green and Warren County, and nearby counties including Barren, Simpson, Logan, Butler, and Edmonson. Everything can be handled by phone, email, and e-filing from wherever you live now; you do not have to come to us, and for most cases nobody has to go to court.
What qualifies
- Class D felonies, five years after the sentence, with no new convictions since. Multiple felonies allowed since 2023.
- Misdemeanors, five years after the sentence, no limit on how many. DUI waits ten years from the offense.
- Dismissed, acquitted, and never-indicted charges, often free and sometimes automatic.
What it costs
Court fees are set by statute: $40 for the certification, $100 per misdemeanor case, $50 plus $250 per felony case, and nothing for dismissed charges. Our flat fees start at $500 for a misdemeanor and $1,000 for a felony, and the $50 attorney record review is credited toward them.
