Warrant Resolution

This event will only be able to provide warrant resolution for misdemeanors.  If you are seeking resolution for a felony warrant, please attend a FREE clinic.  For more information, visit  http://www.pima.gov/knowyourrights.

Juvenile Record and Marijuana Expungement

Did you know that juvenile records are not automatically erased on your 18th birthday?  Or that since Arizona has legalized the use of marijuana, you can have these charges expunged from your record? These services will be available at the Fresh Start Expo.
