About Drew Willey:
After working through school alongside the owners of a handful of small businesses, Drew started a professional tax career doing provision and compliance tax accounting at PricewaterhouseCoopers for a large and complex foreign real estate investment structure from oil and gas proceeds. After receiving a master’s in tax accounting at the #1 program in the country (University of Texas at Austin’s McCombs School of Business), he excelled in revenue and production analysis as an energy accountant at one of the largest oil and gas companies in Houston. To help clients more, he attended the University of Houston Law Center where his advocacy skills became immediately apparent in moot court competitions and alternative dispute resolution practice.
Immediately after taking the bar exam, he received nationally renowned litigation training from the Gideon’s Promise program. Alongside his practice in tax and civil matters, he quickly became known as one of the best litigators in the Harris County Criminal Courthouse. His dedication to providing passionate, proactive, and client-centered representation to marginalized people in the greater Houston area led him to co-found the non-profit, Restoring Justice, with his wife. Through his vision, leadership, and executive skills, Restoring Justice became a national leader in public defense best practices, saved over 100 people at least 600 years of wrongful incarceration, saving our economy billions of dollars, and grew from an idea to a top 10% revenue nonprofit before implementing a successful leadership transition plan.
Today, Drew continues over a decade of serving clients in tax, civil, and criminal legal matters further explained throughout this site. He has been featured in publications like The New York Times, Texas Monthly, Texas Tribune, Newsweek, and the Houston Chronicle.
