SOLANO COUNTY, CA (MPG) – From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. March 25, the Solano County Public Defender will host “Clean Slate Day” at the Solano County Event Center, located at 601 Texas St. in Fairfield. The event is designed to help individuals clear past records of felony and misdemeanor arrests and convictions.

Attorneys and paralegals from the Solano County Public Defender’s Office and Alternate Defender’s Office will be available to provide information on record-clearing options and to assist participants with preparing petitions for relief.

“Clean Slate Day is about second chances,” said Elena D’Agustino, Solano County Public Defender. “We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to move forward without the weight of past mistakes holding them back. This event is a step toward creating stronger, more equitable communities.”

In addition to legal assistance, several community organizations will be on-site to connect participants with a wide range of supportive services, including employment opportunities, substance use and mental health treatment, voter registration, medical care, GED programs, financial literacy education, public benefits and more.

 To help ensure a smooth and efficient experience, the Public Defender’s Office encourages participants to pre-register for Clean Slate Day by completing the intake form found by visiting solanocounty.gov. Pre-registration will help expedite the process, allowing more people to receive assistance throughout the day.
