Cleaning Your Criminal Record: Individualized Help Print
Were you denied housing or employment based on a criminal record? An expungement is a way to break barriers for a brighter future. Certain misdemeanors can be changed to "expunged" on your record showing the case was effectively dismissed. The Los Angeles County Public Defender's Office provides free record-cleaning services. Attorneys and paralegals will help in filling out expungement forms and reducing nonviolent felonies to misdemeanors through Prop 47.
Free one-on-one assistance provided with:
- Obtaining a criminal history report for cases in LA County
- Filing a petition to expunge certain misdemeanors
