Get Help

I was in my last semester in college when I reached out to TLSC. Getting my background expunged was something I always wanted to do, I just didn’t have the money to hire a lawyer and pay for the cost to get it removed. One night I was up just thinking about my future and career, and I didn’t want my record to hinder me from getting the job that I dreamed of.

I called TLSC the next morning and spoke with an attorney.
