Free Expungement Clinic Coming to Sparta on October 21 – Get Help Clearing Your Criminal Record 📋
Upper Cumberland residents with criminal histories that have held them back from employment, housing, or other opportunities will have a chance to seek legal help at no cost this fall. The Legal Aid Society of Middle Tennessee and the Cumberlands is bringing professional expungement assistance directly to White County, offering a path forward for those ready to move past their past.
On October 21, 2026, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., the Legal Aid Society will host a free expungement clinic at the White County Justice Center in Sparta. ⚖️ Expungement is a legal process that can remove or seal certain criminal records, giving people a fresh start when applying for jobs, housing, education, or professional licenses. The clinic offers one-on-one legal review to determine if you qualify for help.
🗓️ When & 📍 Where
Date: Tuesday, October 21, 2026
Time: 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Location: White County Justice Center, 111 Depot Street, Sparta, TN 38583
🎟️ How to Register
Attendance is by registration only. To secure your spot, you can either scan the QR code provided on the clinic flyer or call (865) 483-8454 to register. 📞 The Legal Aid Society team will review your application and determine your eligibility for assistance at the clinic.
✨ Why This Matters
A criminal record-even for minor offenses or cases that were dismissed-can follow you for years, creating barriers to employment, housing, and financial stability. Expungement can help seal or remove those records, giving you a genuine second chance. This clinic removes the cost barrier that often keeps people from seeking legal help. 💪
If you missed a similar clinic held in Van Buren County earlier this year, this is your opportunity to get the same professional legal support right here in White County.
Mark your calendar for October 21st and bring the details of your case. If you know someone who could benefit from this free legal service, share this information with them-this clinic could be the turning point they’ve been waiting for. 🤝
