Los Angeles Record Improvement

Includes an explainer on Prop. 47, 211 / Supportive Services, a clinic and events calendar, FAQs, job help, and contact information. 

A public defender is a qualified attorney licensed by the State Bar of California, assigned by the court to provide legal help to individuals who cannot afford to hire a lawyer. Some public defender offices offer more than just representation during criminal cases; they also provide valuable post-conviction help, such as record improvement. Record improvement may help when you're applying for certain kinds of jobs or housing because it can change how arrests and convictions appear on background checks.

Includes an explanation of Proposition 64, who is eligible for record improvement, and an application.
