Howard University graduates Lawrence Blackmon and Roger Roman are reshaping access to justice through their innovative platform, LegalEase. Designed to simplify the expungement process, their tool allows users to check eligibility and file petitions in just a few minutes—without the cost or complexity of traditional legal representation.
The AI-powered service is already operating in Mississippi and is set to expand nationwide within the next 18 months. With nearly 70 million Americans facing barriers to jobs and housing because of past records, their work offers a practical path toward opportunity and stability.
By making second chances available through a simple call, click, or text, Blackmon and Roman are proving that technology can empower everyday people. Their mission highlights how innovation, education, and community focus can reshape the future of legal accessibility.
