JOURNEY TO A FRESH START: PSLS, pro bono attorneys, and @PILI_Tweets recently helped Kane and DeKalb County residents begin their journey to a fresh start at a free criminal records relief clinic at the Gail Borden Public Library in Elgin!

At the clinic, pro bono attorneys met with clients, advised them on their rights, responsibilities and options, and provided the necessary court papers to begin the sealing and expungement process.
