LA County Public Defender — Record Clearing Unit & Community Outreach Court (clean slate)
Description
Free help clearing your record so old cases stop blocking housing and jobs: the Public Defender’s Record Clearing Unit handles expungements (dismissal of eligible convictions) free of charge. The monthly Community Outreach Court, held at the Skid Row Community ReFresh Spot, helps people experiencing homelessness clear eligible bench warrants, expunge eligible convictions, resolve eligible misdemeanor cases and citations, and address outstanding fines and fees, with connections to reentry services and jobs. (The ReFresh Spot itself is a 24/7 space with showers, restrooms, laundry, phone charging, drinking water, and pet supplies.)
