Criminal Record Clearing Clinic – Oct 22

Posted by Ceiba on October 11, 2022

Criminal Record Clearing Clinic & Cultural Fiesta

Attorneys help people look at their public records and if a person has anything that needs to be addressed, then that person is connected with Public Defenders, on site, to start the criminal record clearing process.

Criminal record clearing is important to the individual and to the community. We will celebrate that ‘fresh start’ collectively. That is why we are calling our legal clinic La Fiesta de la Oportunidad.

Criminal record clearing is an important workforce development mechanism. It helps eligible people improve their prospects for higher paying jobs.  PA law allows:

  • Old and minor convictions to be sealed
  • Expungement of
    • Any charges that did not result in conviction
    • Summary-level convictions for people free of arrest or prosecution for 5 years following their summary conviction

Date and Time: Saturday, October 22, 2022, 11:00 AM – 5:30 PM

Location: Taller Puertorriqueño, 2600 North 5th Street, Philadelphia PA 19133
