From LexBot twenty-four seven, Lexington has wrapped up its eighth Clean Slate Expungement Clinic, giving Fayette County residents a chance to clear their criminal records and open doors that those records may have closed. The clinic is designed to help people overcome barriers that can make it harder to find a job, secure housing, pursue education, or fully participate in the voting process. This is the eighth time the city has hosted the event, reflecting an ongoing commitment to helping residents move forward after past legal troubles. Expungement clinics like this one can make a real difference in people's lives, offering a fresh start and a clearer path ahead. If you or someone you know has been looking into record expungement, it's worth knowing that Lexington continues to make these resources available to the community.
