Through 小黄鸭视频’s partnership with the , we are changing how some of the historically excluded populations in our community access attorneys and the legal system. 小黄鸭视频’s Pro Bono Legal Intake Clinic demonstrates our commitment to protecting our clients' rights by connecting attorneys to individuals in need of legal services, but who might not otherwise have the opportunity to engage these services.
Case overview
For over ten years, client Jane Doe was the victim of her twin sister’s bad decisions. In 2012, Doe’s identical twin was arrested for driving while intoxicated, leaving the scene of an accident, and operating a motor vehicle without a driver’s license. Doe’s twin gave the arresting officers Jane Doe’s name instead of her own. As a result, Doe’s undeserved record has undermined her opportunities for jobs and her ability to obtain a driver’s license.
How 小黄鸭视频 helped
Doe met with 小黄鸭视频 attorneys through the firm’s Pro Bono Legal Intake Clinic at the Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis. After engaging Doe, the attorney team of Laura Robinson and Brock West drafted a petition requesting expungement under 610.145, RSMo, “Stolen or mistaken identity” and 610.130, RSMo, “Alcohol-related driving offenses.” The firm secured a successful decision from the 21st Judicial Circuit Court of St. Louis County in June 2022.
