GRAND RAPIDS – The City of Grand Rapids Office of Oversight and Public Accountability is seeking attorney volunteers to assist with a free expungement event on April 2. As more than 400 community members have registered in hopes of obtaining an expungement, OPA is seeking assistance from lawyers across Michigan.
Michigan lawyers can volunteer for the clinic at https://www.grandrapidsmi.gov/Government/Departments/Office-of-Oversight-and-Public-Accountability/Clean-Slate-GR-Volunteer-Form.
The event takes place 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Grand Rapids Center for Community Transformation, 1530 Madison Ave SE, Grand Rapids, MI 49507.
The Expungement Clinic will work with whomever arrives before 4 p.m. Attorneys are welcomed to work shorter shifts. There are morning, afternoon and all day shifts.
Attorneys can volunteer regardless of practice area.
OPA will offer a one-hour virtual training session at 3 p.m. Friday, April 1.
Training is not required, but is available.
OPA can make other arrangements to provide volunteers with information if they cannot attend training.
Attorney volunteers will review Certified Records of Conviction, and ICHATS; and assist participants with completing SCAO approved expungement forms. Attorneys will not be expected to represent participants in court or in any other representative capacity.
Any questions, call (616) 456-4OPA or via email at bddavis@grand-rapids.mi.us.
