Drew Willey
Alongside his wife, Jessica, Drew Willey founded Restoring Justice. He currently serves
as the organization’s CEO. Drew left a career as an accountant to attend law school
at the University of Houston Law Center. An internship with the Texas Innocence Network
showed him firsthand how the legal system dehumanizes poor people, people of color,
and those with mental health conditions. After receiving training from Gideon’s Promise,
Drew became a criminal defense attorney, primarily working on representation of the
indigent. He is dedicated to providing not only high-quality, holistic counsel to
those who need it the most, but also find ways to expose, disrupt, and fix the systemic
racism and discrimination in our criminal justice system.
