KENTWOOD, Mich. (WOOD) — Local leaders will hold an event Saturday for people hoping to clear their criminal records.
“A lot of people struggle with things that were from their youth and might have even happened 10, 15, even 20 years ago but still when they check that box becomes an automatic barrier,” Amanda Sterkenburg said.
Sterkenburg is a Grand Rapids attorney who specializes in criminal law. She’s one of the people hosting the Expungement Clinic Saturday in Kentwood. Western Michigan University’s Cooley Law School is also hosting.
She says her goal is to make sure people in Michigan who have committed low-level crimes know their rights.
