Chad Barrett: from jail to justice
After learning about a chance to vacate my record of drug charges, I reached out to Northwest Justice Project (NJP) for assistance. Attorney Therese Norton jumped into action. She and contract attorney Megan Yeates with the Office of Public Defense filed a petition to clear the charges and have thousands of dollars of Legal Financial Obligations (LFO’s) refunded to me. We succeeded on both accounts. Thanks to NJP, I’ve received nearly seven thousand dollars back from the state and feel relieved to finally leave my past behind me.
