We are a nation that believes in second chances. Providing legal services to help individuals make a successful transition back to their communities, while also empowering them with the skills necessary to find a good job and thrive in the workplace, will help strengthen our economy and our society.
~ Secretary Thomas Perez, U.S. Department of Labor

- Access to housing
- Employment
- Expungements
- Credit Reports
