Do you believe in second chances?

If someone has served their time and changed their ways, don’t they deserve a clean record?

Shouldn’t they have access to a good job and a stable place to live?

Together, we’re creating a world where eligible Lake County residents get their old criminal records cleared and have a fair chance at the American dream.

In Lake County, it’s possible but not easy. The legal system is complex and intimidating. Petitions must be filed. Letters of support must be written. People must overcome fear and stigma to appear before a judge.

We provide legal aid to get people through the process and on to a new chapter.

Will you help people get their second chance?
