The District Attorney’s Office is once again teaming up with community partners to help local residents who qualify obtain criminal record expungement, felony reduction, and arrest record sealing on Friday, March 21, 2025, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the SLO County Law Library located at 1050 Monterey Street # 125, San Luis Obispo.
The purpose of the free Clean Slate Clinic is to assist qualified individuals eliminate a barrier to employment and housing caused by their criminal history. A criminal record—no matter how old or how minor—can be a significant barrier to reentry for people when most employers, property managers and universities use background checks to screen applicants.
California law allows individuals to obtain this relief if they meet the required conditions. Our clinic will help individuals obtain the relief for which they are already entitled to receive.
