Legal Resources

Free legal expungement assistance in Utah is pretty limited, so Clean Slate Utah is scaling up to help. In the meantime, there are a few options you can pursue if you need to speak with an attorney.

Sign up for a Free Monthly Expungement Clinic.

The University of Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law puts on a free monthly expungement clinic. The clinic is on the first Thursday of every month. This year’s expungement clinics will be on the following dates:

March 2nd
April 6th
May 4th

‍
The Self-Help Center will send your case numbers in 1-2 business days.

If you can’t wait, you can pay $5 to use click here. This lets you search for your cases. The $5 is a credit to pay for your cost of using the system. It costs:
· $0.20 for each search and
· $0.50 to view each document.

Once you have your court records, compare them to the screening tool or the chart. You should be able to determine if you can ask to expunge your record.

Use Rasa's Expungement Eligibility Tool.

Clean Slate Utah is excited to announce a new partnership with Rasa, a new Utah public benefit corporation. Rasa is a new company made up of engineers, expungement lawyers, and community advocates who are designing a mobile app that will make it easy for individuals to see what is on their record and what is eligible for expungement. Clean Slate Utah is partnering with Rasa to let individuals who are below the federal poverty line use the mobile app for free.

For a limited time, Clean Slate Utah is partnering with Rasa to offer $25 legal consultations to individuals trying to figure out if they are eligible for an expungement. In these legal consultations, one of Rasa's lawyers will pull and analyze your Utah court records and tell you what is eligible for expungement. If you have records that are eligible for petition-based expungement, Rasa can offer to represent you for $500 (limited to 3 total cases and does not include BCI application fee). In addition, you might also consider hiring one of the following firms that donated time to help us successfully implement Utah’s Clean Slate law:

Josh Baron, SB Criminal Defense & Immigration

Brent Huff, The Law Office of Brent Huff

Kate Conyers, Conyers & Nix

Talk to an Immigration Attorney.

If you are not a U.S. Citizen, it is a good idea to talk to an immigration attorney before expunging your record. To find an attorney in your area who may be able to help you, click here. To download our FAQ on Clean Slate and Immigration click here.
