RESTORING JUSTICE

Founded in 2016, Restoring Justice is a nonprofit organization in Houston, Texas, that provides holistic and client-centered representation to marginalized members of our community facing criminal charges. This includes the provision of expert criminal defense legal representation, social work services, trauma-informed counseling, spiritual support, volunteer connections, and more.

Our mission is to end mass incarceration, one client and heart at a time. We take cases of those unsatisfied with their legal representation and/or are represented by appointed counsel who exceeds recommended caseload guidelines and offer them holistic representation, free-of-charge.

As a grassroots, human-centered organization, we also take community engagement seriously and routinely participate in community endeavors and innovative collaborations that bolster the criminal justice reform movement. We strive to pursue removing racial disparities and reforming the indigent defense system.
