Testimonials

Thank you for your work on my various cases. I have had probate problems, credit card issues, bank problems, water department problems. I have no money to pay for lawyers and I don’t know what I would have done and you have allowed me to keep my head above water.
M.B.Cleveland, 2019
“Thank you for taking the time to help me and get my record expunged. I am so thankful for this program and the opportunities that can now be available for me with work, school and making a better life.”
K. S.Cleveland, 2019
“I had open warrants and outstanding fines in various cities – mostly for traffic violations. LegalWorks helped me get rid of the warrants and helped “zero out” fines in several of the courts. I now have a drivers license and am now working at the Cleveland Clinic.”
