Everyone deserves a fresh start. 💙

At VLPNEI, our Expungement Program helps individuals take the next step toward clearing eligible criminal records and moving forward with new opportunities.

The process begins with an Expungement Seminar hosted by The Volunteer Center. After attending, eligible participants are referred to VLPNEI for review and possible placement with a volunteer attorney who can assist with filing the necessary paperwork.

A past mistake shouldn’t define your future — and we’re here to help guide you through the process.
