Second Chance Legal Clinic assists those who are working to overcome barriers to employment and housing due to past arrest and conviction records.

They provide free reentry legal services, assisting with:

• Criminal record remedies (“expungement”)

The Clinic is offered at two community-based locations:

• Goodwill Industries in San Francisco, San Mateo, and Marin Counties, providing reentry legal services to their workforce development participants.

Clients receive free brief services and legal advice, with the possibility of placement with a pro bono attorney for additional representation, where needed.
