The very first step to exploring your possibilities for a clean record is to contact us for help. Our dedicated team is ready to guide you through the process.

To begin, please reach out to Tricia Weed, our Volunteer Coordinator. She will help you set up an appointment at FCCA, where you can discuss your specific situation and understand your options for sealing, pardons, expungements.

We understand you might have questions, and we're here to answer them. Some common questions include:

• What is “Clean Slate” and how does it work?
• How do expungements work in Pennsylvania?
• How do I go about getting a conviction removed from my record?
• What records are eligible?
• What is the difference between sealing, pardons & expungement?

Pennsylvania leads the nation in pardon reform, with two-thirds of applicants receiving pardons. Additionally, the 2023 Clean Slate 3.0 law has expanded eligibility for record sealing to include more offenses, even some felonies. It's truly never been easier to get a second chance.
