Have you been denied a license to work because of a criminal conviction?

You Deserve a Chance for a Fresh Start

State governments often deny people a license to work in a particular job because of a criminal conviction—even if the conviction is very old or has nothing to do with the job.

We want to help you and others by changing the law. States should not be denying you a license because of irrelevant criminal convictions. That isn’t fair and it isn’t constitutional.

If you have been denied a license or fear you won’t be able to get a license for a particular job, we may be able to help. We are a nonprofit law firm that fights for economic liberty nationwide. Please contact us if you are interested in changing these unfair laws.
