The Los Angeles County Public Defender's Office provides free record-cleaning services.

Were you denied housing or employment based on a criminal record? An expungement is a way to break barriers for a brighter future. Certain misdemeanors can be changed to "expunged" on your record showing the case was effectively dismissed. During this workshop, the Los Angeles County Public Defender's Office provides free record-cleaning services. Attorneys and paralegals will help in filling out expungement forms and reducing nonviolent felonies to misdemeanors through Prop 47.

Free one-on-one assistance provided with:
• Obtaining a criminal history report for cases in LA County
• Filing a petition to expunge certain misdemeanors
• Getting a nonviolent felony reduced to a misdemeanor under Prop 47
• Getting some marijuana offenses cleared under Prop 64
Los Angeles County Public Defender's Office can expunge Los Angeles County criminal records only.
