Criminal record getting in your way? We can help.
Your Past Expunged & Sealed
Coalition Legal provides free legal services to help people in Lake County, IL get their eligible criminal records expunged or sealed as authorized by state law so they can find better employment, stable housing, and more.
DISCOVER A BRIGHTER FUTURE
Did you get in trouble as a teen? Find yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time? If it left you with a criminal record, that information is probably showing up on background checks and making it hard to find a job and a place to live.
With our free legal services, you can get a second chance at your goals. We begin with an evaluation of your past. Our team handles the paperwork, and a lawyer will prepare you and go with you to court. For many, the results are life-changing.
ANTECEDENTES PENALES?
COALITION LEGAL LE PUEDE AYUDAR.
Ofrecemos asistencia legal gratuita para ayudarle a usted a sellar o eliminar tus antecedentes penales. Esto puede ayudarle a conseguir un mejor empleo, una mejor vida y una oportunidad de alcanzar el sueño americano. Priorizamos la confidencialidad. No nos comunicamos con la policía. No hablamos con las autoridades de inmigración. Si conoces a alguien que es indocumentado/a, ten la seguridad de que sellar tus propios antecedentes no los afectará de ninguna manera.
WE MAKE PRODUCTIVE CITIZENS
While our clients experience life-changing circumstances as a result of our legal work, the greater community benefits as we grow the pool of employees who become productive members of society, tax payers, volunteers, and leaders.
Our Mission: CHANGING LIVES
Our mission is to provide free legal services, primarily in Lake County, Illinois, to help our clients whose past criminal records create barriers in areas such as employment and housing, while restoring their sense of dignity and self‑worth.
Our goal is for people whose past criminal records no longer reflect who they’ve become to realize their potential and thrive as fully contributing members of their communities.
