Coalition Legal helps people expunge or seal eligible criminal records as authorized by Illinois law so they can re-integrate back into society and gain access to employment, stable housing and more.
There is an enormous untapped pool of people who are entitled to have their records sealed or expunged, but do not have the funds for it, are afraid to ask for it, or do not know they are entitled to it.
We are here to help put them on the path to stability.
La Coalición Legal ayuda a la gente a eliminar o a sellar records criminales eligibles, siempre y cuando éstos records estén dentro del grupo autorizado por las leyes del estado de Illinois. La Coalición Legal y las Leyes del estado hacen esto para que la gente se pueda re-integrar de nuevo a la sociedad y tener de ésta manera acceso a empleo, a un hogar estable y más cosas. Hay un gran número de gente que es eligible a tener sus records eliminados o sellados pero que no tienen el dinero para hacerlo, o tienen miedo de preguntar ó no saben que tienen derecho a pedirlo. Nosotros estamos aqui para ayudarle a ponerse en el camino a ésa estabilidad que usted quiere tener.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide greater access to stable employment and housing for people whose past criminal records are holding them back. We provide free legal advice to determine whether a criminal record is eligible to be sealed or expunged, and assist with the court process. Our focused goal is to help our clients utilize the 2017 Illinois law that vastly expanded the records eligible for this procedure, offering individuals a clear, simple path to stable employment and access to housing.“You changed the trajectory of my life.”
