Expungement Summit to take place in Cook County

The Cook County Circuit Court will hold an “Expungement Summit” in Blue Island at a local high school so that people can come expunge their records for a small court fee.

If a person does not qualify for expungement, they can seal their records permanently from the public. If neither expungement or permanent sealing work, they may go for the process to apply for clemency.

The attendance level at the event it expected to be between 3,000 and 4,000. Over 75 volunteers will be working to make this operation function smoothly. There will also be free shuttles that will be taking people to Blue Island. All of the five previous summits were held in Chicago, this will be the first to happen in the suburbs.

If you or a loved one are looking to expunge your record, contact the Dallas expungement lawyers of the law office of Mark T. Lassiter by calling 214-651-1121.
