Skill and Dedication

Brad Clark cleared my 33 year old felony conviction in 9 weeks. He is passionate, professional and results oriented. I spoke with Brad one time by telephone before hiring him and then met with him personally at his office in Lexington, KY. He knows HB40 and the law inside out and does exactly what he... says he will do. Brad truly is the "best of the best"!! I'm forever grateful.

Professional, Honest, Responsive, Ethical, Knowledgeable and All Around Good Guy!

I called Mr. Clark as a parent of a teenager who made his first mistake in college as a freshman. Needless to say, I was frantic and didn't know what to do, so Mr. Clark in a very calm voice said, "I make your problem my problem until the problem is resolved." Once he said that, I calmed down and r...ealized that we were in good hands because Mr. Clark was going to do everything within his power and expertise to obtain the best results for our family. We hired Mr. Clark that day and our fears and worries subsided. Our case has since been successfully resolved. From the beginning, Mr. Clark was very professional and thorough throughout the entire process. He knows the system and he has extensive experience working with the prosecutors and judges in the system. If your family gets into a similar situation with your college student who made a bad decision as our family did, please do not hesitate to call Bradley Clark. To quote Mr. Clark, " I've always believed that every person is better than the worst decision they've ever made," and he truly believes that and embodies it in every case.

Awesome and seamless

Mr. Clark did everything as he said he would he made a personal visit for me to sign the paperwork he explained everything was very thorough and I would highly recommend him for assistance to anyone that could use an attorney to help clear up their record

Expunged FINALLY.

I am Steve. I am 46 years old. In 1993 my wife and I walked into the now defunct McAlpins store. She walked out with a ladies leather jacket. I refused to walk out the door with her because I did not want to be a part of that nonsense. I walked out a different door. We both were arrested and charged ...with a felony shoplifting. When we went to court I was offered a misdemeanor plea deal. I declined. So both of our cases were waived to the grand jury. I was given a felony which I plead guilty to and received a one year sentence. I was told that if I did not plead guilty my wife couldn't plead guilty to a misdemeanor. My wife begged and pleaded with me to take the felony so she could plead guilty to the misdemeanor. About 10 years ago I went to school to be a radiologist because the school told me it was no problem since it was so long ago. Well when I went to take the test for my license it was denied because I am a felon. So there went 20k in school loans that I am responsible for. The worst part is not the fact that the felony hurt me... It hurt my daughter. I was unable to provide for her as well as I could have. I had SOLE custody of her from the time she was 6 months old. She is 21 now. She was punished because of something I literally did not do. But now thanks to Bradley Clark at Unconvicted.com my felony is expunged. When I received the paperwork that the expungement had been granted I broke down in tears. This has been a thorn in my side for almost my whole adult life. He was absolutely amazing to have him as my attorney. He was easily accessible. He was very prompt with getting back to me when I had questions. He was extremely knowledgeable about what was going to happen and what was happening... especially for something that was brand new in Kentucky. And most important HE GOT THE JOB DONE. I can not even to begin to express how grateful I am. There are no words big enough to express how life changing this is for me.

Thanks Attorney Clark!!!

Attorney Brad Clark did a thorough and complete job in handling my Kentucky felony expungement case. He has a excellent website that answered many of my original questions and when I made the decision to file for my expungement he invited me to his office in downtown Lexington and we had a 45 minute... to 1hr face-to-face conversation concerning the process of my case. I left there feeling he had explained and answered all relevant questions. I also feel his fees were very satisfactory. Overall I highly recommend attorney Clark, he seems to genuinely care about what he's doing and the clients he represents. Oh and I won my expungement case as well so alls well that ends well as they say! I owe him a BIG thanks!
