Expunge Colorado

We are the only nonprofit in Colorado that is dedicated to providing pro bono record sealing legal services, public educational resources and advocacy at the state level.

Since 2018, Expunge Colorado has provided an annual record sealing clinic free to the community in the Denver metro area. We remove barriers to obtaining jobs, housing, financial aid and more! 

To date, our nonprofit has served over 660+ people and has successfully sealed over 260+ records (and counting). We provide a unique level of service and have become a force for good and household name in the community!

At our annual clinic, Expunge Colorado provides educational resources, one on one pro bono legal consultation including a review of eligibility looking at a person's entire background check/ criminal history. Every clinic participant receives educational resources, a consultation summary regardless of their eligibility. If a person is eligible for record sealing through Colorado law at the time of the clinic, we work with that person from beginning to end throughout the entire petition-based record sealing process. In the case of requested hearing by the court, our nonprofit attends and prepares our clients for the hearing. 

A sealed record provides a chance to move forward with dignity not only impacting an individual but also a person's family, children and generations to come. Record sealing can break cycles of poverty by providing new opportunities for jobs, housing and financial aid-- the keys to living a healthy life.
