Expunge Colorado is a women-led/ BIPOC-led 501c3 Colorado nonprofit dedicated to providing education, training, consultation and access to legal services for record sealing of eligible criminal cases in Colorado. Since 2018, the founders of Expunge Colorado have provided and hosted a free, annual record sealing event serving all Coloradans.
Having a criminal record has devastating, lifelong consequences that can affect families for multiple generations. Colorado law permits many charges to be removed yet few individuals experience the relief of a sealed record due to the complicated and costly process. Expunge Colorado exists to alleviate the legal and financial burdens put on individuals who want and deserve a fresh start. Record sealing can help restore access to housing, employment, education, public assistance, and voting rights.
The intention of this channel is to provide educational content and testimonials to help us advocate for those who are impacted by the legal system.

Expunge Colorado's 2024 7th Annual Record Sealing Clinic - Video Recap
Video recap of the 2024 7th Annual Record Sealing Clinic held on Oct. 19th, 2024 at the A.I.D. Center Denver. Thank you to all our volunteer attorneys, DU Law students, and all our volunteers for making this the best clinic to date!
This was the first year that our legal volunteer attorneys were able to review eligibility (the meaning for "getting though all the cases" in the video) for all 66 participants of the clinic on the day of the clinic. In the past years, we would have to have a follow-up night with the attorneys to review any remaining cases/files that we were not able to finish reviewing for eligibility on the day of the clinic.
To date, we have heard back from most of the petitions/motions to seal from the Courts. We do have a few cases still pending where we are nudge the courts and ask for decision/determination. We have a few hearings set in January 2025. Expunge Colorado is preparing our clients and will be attending that court hearing before the Judge and DA. There will be a decision whether the motion to seal will be granted.
Looking forward to sharing more of outcomes of the 2024 clinic in January 2025!
