A criminal record does not define me.

I deserve a second chance.

records suspended?

Lifting the
Invisible Burden

When you have a criminal record the fears of being refused a job and a place to live, or the rejection by society are very real. Combined with trauma or hardship, the burdens weigh heavily. Suspending your criminal record will help to ease those fears and give you a chance to take your life back. Learn more about what the Record Suspension Program is.

The courts don’t get the last word on my life. I do.
