Rasa Legal is on a mission to clear as many eligible records as possible, helping people pass background checks and open doors to new opportunities
Salt Lake City, UT, Sept. 4, 2024 – Rasa, the legal tech company dedicated to simplifying and making criminal record expungement more affordable, today announced it will offer free access to its expungement eligibility tool throughout September in support of National Recovery Month. This initiative aims to honor and assist individuals in recovery from substance use disorders by providing them with valuable resources to understand and potentially clear their criminal records.
Rasa’s online eligibility tool allows users to receive a clear, personalized report of their criminal records in just minutes. Using Rasa’s software, this report outlines whether those records may be eligible for expungement now or in the future, providing crucial information for individuals seeking to move forward with their lives.
“At Rasa, we believe in second chances and the power of recovery,” said Noella Sudbury, CEO and Founder of Rasa. “By offering our eligibility tool for free during Recovery Month, we hope to empower individuals to take control of their future and remove barriers that may be holding them back due to past mistakes.”
The number of people with criminal records is surprisingly high – in Utah, one in four people have a criminal record, and drug convictions are one of the most common records. People with criminal records face significant hurdles in participating as productive members of society. However, people who get their records expunged are 63% more likely to get a job interview, and their wages go up 22% just one year after record clearance.
Individuals interested in taking advantage of this offer can use this link throughout September to access the free eligibility tool to find out what is on their criminal record, and whether those records can be expunged.
If someone has eligible records, Rasa provides low-cost legal representation starting at $250 per case. This includes preparing and filing all paperwork, petitioning the courts, and all other case logistics.
“Many people don’t realize that they can do something about their criminal record. Others are intimidated or overwhelmed by the process, or can’t afford to get started. We’re here to change all of that,” said Sudbury.
With Rasa’s innovative technology and affordable services, getting a criminal record cleared in Utah has never been faster, easier or more accessible.
