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.
