People Can Change. Records Can Too!
What We Do:
What We Do:
We help people obtain criminal record sealings, expungements, and Governor's pardons, allowing them to realize their full potential.
A criminal record is a recorded history of each time you were arrested.
It's never been easier than now to get a second chance in Pennsylvania. PA leads the nation in pardon reform; TWO-THIRDS of Pennsylvanians applying for pardons get them! And 2023's Clean Slate 3.0 law makes more offenses (including some felonies) eligible for record sealing and reduces waiting periods. We can help with pardons and expungement/sealing:
Pardons
Pardons
A pardon is a formal recognition by the Governor that you have been forgiven for your crimes. If you are given a pardon, you will have your entire record wiped away.
Expungement
Expungement
An expungement is a legal order from a Judge that requires the district attorneys, state police, local police, and other criminal justice agencies to erase an entire arrest or individual charges from your record. This is typically a summary offense or a non-conviction; but IF YOU ARE 70 years old with 10 years arrest-free, a wide range of offenses can be expunged.
Record Sealing
Record Sealing
Record Sealing can hide your criminal record from public view. It is available for Pennsylvania records that did not result in conviction as well as some misdemeanor and felony convictions.
Our Vision:
Our Vision:
We hope to create a community that provides second chances to those affected by the legal system, freeing community members from the undue burdens of their criminal histories.
Everyone in Crawford County should have a fair opportunity to work and contribute to our community.
We are achieving this vision by uniting businesses, advocates, community members, local leaders, and impacted people across the county to ensure that criminal records are no longer a life sentence to poverty and that past mistakes will no longer define a person's future.
Records & Rights:
Records & Rights:
VOTING: In Pennsylvania, you only lose your right to vote if you are currently incarcerated for a felony conviction or if you got convicted of violating any provision of the Pennsylvania Election Code within the last four years. If you lost your voting rights because of a conviction, you can register to vote immediately after your release.
FIREARMS: You can lose your right to purchase or carry a gun for a variety of legal reasons. But getting it back is simple: YOU NEED AN EXPUNGEMENT. For many people, this means first getting a Pardon, which automatically leads to expungement. But if you're 70 years old and 10 years arrest-free, a wide range of offenses can be directly expunged without getting pardoned first.
