Fresh Start Friday legal clinic announced

Submitted
Contest winner at the Coshocton County Fair was Clare Bintz from Blue Ridge 4-H Club .
Legal Aid of Southeast and Central Ohio ( formerly Southeastern Ohio Legal Services ) is offering a free Fresh Start Friday legal clinic to help people with past criminal records seal or expunge their records .
Many Ohioans with past criminal records were previously ineligible for record sealing or expungement . Thanks to a law passed in 2023 , some of these people may now be eligible .
Lawyers will be available
at the clinic to screen individuals for eligibility for sealing or expunging their record and to help applicants with the paperwork . The clinic will take place on Friday , Oct . 25 , from 10 a . m . to 2 p . m . at the Coshocton Community Room , 637 Chestnut St . in Coshocton .
People can pre-register by calling 614-827-0524 . Scheduling an appointment is very strongly encouraged . Walk-ins may be accepted up until 1 p . m ., but assistance is
not guaranteed . Clients will be helped first come , first served . This free clinic is available to those who meet eligibility and income requirements ( generally less than 200 % of the federal poverty guideline ).
Records cannot be sealed for those who are currently on probation , community control , or have an open case . OVIs and traffic cases are not eligible to be sealed or expunged . For additional information , contact Legal
Aid of Southeast and Central Ohio ( LASCO ), at 740-594-3558 or 1-800- 686-3669 .
