SUMMARY:Free CORI Sealing Clinic (Virtual)

They will share your CORI with you and discuss the eligibility of your record for sealing and/or expungement.\nIf you are eligible\, the attorneys will work with you on filing a petition to request sealing and/or expungement and discuss next steps. If you are not currently eligible\, they will discuss your timeline for eligibility.
