February 28, 2025
Do you know someone who can't get a job because of an old criminal conviction? On February 28, 2025, Legal Aid Center is partnering with the courts, judiciary, and law enforcement to help seal criminal records for Southern Nevada because here in Nevada we believe in second chances!
Legal Aid Center will do the legal work at no charge before the event. Judges will be at the event, and participants will receive a court order sealing their records that day.
To be eligible to seal a criminal record on February 28, 2025, the crime must have happened in Clark County and the applicant must meet the required waiting periods from the completion of parole or probation. Crimes against children, felony DUIs, and sexual offenses can never be sealed.
How to Participate
Those who are interested must register no later than October 26, 2024. To set up an intake appointment for the event, contact our Clean Slate Legal Assistance Program.
