Expungement Clinic

The Mississippi Volunteer Lawyers Project (MVLP), the South Central Mississippi Bar Association, Young Lawyers Division of The Mississippi Bar, and Christian Services are hosting a free Expungement Clinic to assist low-income Forrest County residents with clearing their record. This clinic is free and open to individuals with misdemeanor and felony charges received in Mississippi. Individuals should not have any new or pending charges. Individuals who qualify may be eligible to meet with a volunteer attorney one-on-one to have their expungement documents drafted. The services are free; however, the individual is responsible for their court filing fees, and will represent themselves in court.

• Your driver's license or state issued ID;
• A copy of your abstract (obtained Ji-om municipal/justice court in the city where the charges were received) or sentencing order (obtained from Circuit Court in the county where the charges were received) and copies of any and all documents related to the incident you want to be expunged;
• Record(s) of any previous expungement; and
• Proof that terms of sentence have been complied with/completed (obtain abstract from court or certificate showing that you have completed terms of probation).
