fter a three year hiatus, Capital Pro Bono has revived its Misdemeanor Expungement Project and needs attorney volunteers to assist with interviewing clients and preparing expungement petitions. No experience is needed, as our staff will provide training. While receiving an expungement does not remove all evidence of a conviction from one’s record, it

Expungement Project Reboot By Heather Tiffee does dramatically increase their ability to qualify for jobs and housing that would otherwise be unavailable to them. We will initially be focusing on Sacramento County convictions, but hope to be able to address convictions in many of the surrounding counties by the end of the year. Please contact Managing Attorney, Heather Tiffee, at htiffee@capitalprobono for more information

on how you can get involved. Or contact us through our website: capitalprobono.org.
