As a young adult, “Antonia” made some mistakes, resulting in a destruction-of-property conviction as well as records for driving with a suspended license.
Antonia paid the penalties, years passed, and now she’s a working mom, interested in advancing in her professional field. She came to us because the conviction records, all at least 13 years old, still loomed over her like a shadow. Antonia wanted to get out from the under the shadow, improving life for herself and her family.
We represented her to expunge the old conviction records, offering new promise for her professional ambitions. That is the value of legal aid: empowering working parents who couldn’t otherwise afford a lawyer to assert their rights and move forward.
