Criminal Expungement Clinic
Advertisement
The Anoka County Law Library hosts a criminal expungement clinic on the third Tuesday of each month.
No pre-registration is necessary.
Expungement is the process of filing a motion in court to request that a judge seal a court record. People request expungement when they have been denied employment, housing, or a professional license due to a criminal incident that appears on a background check.
Attend an informational session to determine whether you qualify financially to meet individually with an attorney to assess whether this is a realistic option for your situation. This is the best place to start the criminal expungement process and receive assistance.
At 1:30 p.m., we’ll hold a required 40 to 45 minute presentation. Everyone, whether hoping for a same day meeting or a callback, needs to attend this session.
We’re only able to meet with four people in-person each clinic, but virtual options on a later date are available for everyone that does not get an in-person meeting. Check-in opens at 12:30 p.m., but arriving at that time doesn’t guarantee a same day appointment. If the four same day spots fill, you can still sign up for a callback after attending the presentation.
If you prefer something faster and more flexible, the phone consult option may be a better fit. Just arrive around 1:20 p.m., fill out a short form, and attend the presentation. You will receive a call from Central Minnesota Legal Services on a later date for your meeting with the attorney.
This is a walk-in clinic supported by Central Minnesota Legal Services.
Court forms will be provided to all registrants, or they can be picked up free of charge at the Anoka County Law Library. You can contact them at 763-324-5560.
Anoka County Library strives to ensure that all visitors are able to access library resources, services, and programs. Assistive technology and program accommodations are available at many library locations, as outlined on our library accessibility page. Please call the library branch hosting the program at least two weeks prior to an event if there are additional accommodations we can provide for you to fully participate.
