An expungement is a simple pro bono matter in which an attorney helps clients remove old criminal convictions or arrests from their records. These relatively straightforward cases can have a massive impact on a client's life. Helping them find housing, get work, and live without the shadow of a conviction over their head. Lawyers will develop excellent client communication and case management skills from these cases.
