Our sealing and expungement workshop takes place both virtually and in-person. We are so grateful to volunteer Attorney Erin Greene who presents at ProjectRise each month and Attorney Andrew Chmelir who presents at the Sanford Library and online.

Don't let that arrest on your record prevent you from getting the job of your dreams. In partnership with Goodwill Industries, our office holds a workshop to learn from our experienced volunteer attorneys how to seal or expunge your record. This workshop takes place every first Wednesday of the month in-person at the Sanford Library and virtually every third Wednesday of the month via Zoom.

You may qualify if you had:

• Adjudication withheld or charges dropped
• AND never previously sealed or expunged your record
