Have you been denied employment or a promotion because of a cannabis conviction or old criminal charges from your past? Have you turned your life around but are reminded of your past when filling out applications?
If so, you may want to attend a free criminal record-sealing, ask-a-lawyer event being held Wednesday, Dec. 7, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the Cambridge Recreation Center, 3930 Cambridge St. The event is put on by Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada and Clark County Commissioner Tick Segerblom.
Those with criminal records face many challenges that may hinder or prevent them from securing desired employment or housing, Legal Aid Center representatives said. Those who wish to seal their criminal records should register at www.lacsn.org/seal in order to receive a free, 15-minute consultation.
