Expungement & Occupational Licenses
A Fresh Start
Our legal team works to protect the civil and employment rights of formerly incarcerated people by providing legal advice, representation, and free legal clinics to help people reduce, reclassify and/or expunge their criminal convictions. Since its inception in 2007, our legal department has provided pro bono services to assist thousands seeking relief from the burden of criminal histories, opening doors to job opportunities by expunging criminal records and offering access to occupational licenses.

EXPUNGE CRIMINAL CONVICTIONS
