Legal Aid Grand Opening

Legal Aid's recent Fresh Chance Friday resulted in a waiting list of more than 200 new cases for their expungement services! Clearly they are meeting a need. LA's Second Chance Wilmington program is committed to eliminating barriers to economic stability by providing holistic services to the justice involved. The program launched in October and offers criminal record expungement and drivers license restoration services to eligible residents of New Hanover County.
