About Restoring Justice

Provides holistic legal representation to marginalized Houstonians while advocating for systemic reform of the indigent defense system.

The service operates from downtown Houston and serves community members across the city.

Having good legal representation can mean the difference between jail time and freedom, between a criminal record and a clean slate. When people can't afford private attorneys, public defenders are often overloaded with too many cases to give proper attention.

Visit Restoring Justice to learn about their services and application process. They'll evaluate whether you qualify for their representation based on your financial situation and legal needs.
