While the credit fight took on national significance, Mr. Schrold continued to make a difference in the South Florida area defending hundreds of clients in criminal court. Unfortunately, the local language and cultural diversity can lead to substantial confusion and chaos. “Falling in to the justice system can be like a never ending maze for a person that finds themselves facing a criminal charge,” says attorney Schrold.

It was during this ten year period practicing criminal defense that it became obvious that most defendants did not even realize the long reaching consequences of having a prior arrest appear on future employment checks.  Mr. Schrold found a new focus and dedicated his efforts on providing an affordable legal service for people that qualified for seal and expunction petitions under the state law. 

“A person should not be held back from employment or education opportunities because of a criminal allegation that never led to a conviction.”
