Criminal record expungements are often essential for those seeking new employment and a fresh start in life. Unfortunately, getting a criminal record expunged can feel like a daunting process. Legal Aid of the Bluegrass (LABG) has developed a short animated video, “Criminal Record Expungement in Kentucky,” to educate the public about how to complete the record expungement process themselves.

Seniors are often isolated, leaving them vulnerable to abuse and exploitation. Loss of mobility, mental capacity, family, and financial independence all contribute to a higher risk of mistreatment.  Roughly 1 in 10 people aged 60 and older who live at home experience elder abuse according to the CDC. Family members and caregivers of the elderly are most likely to commit elder abuse, neglect and exploitation. Elder abuse is a growing problem that comes in many forms. Some seniors will face emotional abuse from people they trust and others will fall prey to scams.
