Prop 47: Record Clearance Clinic

Start the process to reduce your low-level felony to a misdemeanor, attend the clinic to obtain free legal advice and referral information.

The collateral consequences of criminal convictions can often create significant barriers to employment, housing, education, and public benefits, making it difficult if not impossible to start fresh after a conviction. Prop. 47 is the largest opportunity in U.S. history for people to change certain, low-level, non-violent past felony convictions on their records. As many as 1 million Californians may be eligible. Start the process to reduce your low-level felony to a misdemeanor, consider attending the clinic to obtain free legal advice and referral information. To insure a free appointment call the Watsonville Law Center at (831) 722- 2845. If Possible, please BRING A COPY of your CRIMINAL CASE RECORD. Walk-ins will be accommodated on a first-come first served basis, if possible. Get started on a new more stable future. A partnership of the Santa Cruz Public Libraries, the Santa Cruz Public Defenders Office and the Watsonville Law Center.
