Pro Bono Support

About Our Pro Bono Opportunities

A criminal record limits access to employment, education, housing and financial independence. Free to Thrive is one of the leading California nonprofits clearing criminal records related to exploitation. 

We depend on pro bono attorneys to help meet our clients’ criminal record clearing needs. Our pro bono attorneys double our capacity to represent survivors.

Lawyers with any legal background can take a vacatur matter and we will train you in criminal vacatur and trauma-informed lawyering. We will also provide you with case support and technical assistance throughout your case. 

 “As a retired IP lawyer, I didn’t know anything about criminal practice or vacatur, and was unsure of how I could interact with a survivor. But with the trauma-informed, practical training and supervision from FTT, I was able to meet with, represent, and make a difference in the life of a survivor who needed help.”
