Jeffrey Deskovic, Esq. is an internationally recognized expert on wrongful convictions and the Founder of The Jeffrey Deskovic Foundation for Justice, which has freed 11 wrongfully convicted people and helped pass 8 laws.
Jeff is also an advisory board member of the coalition group, "It Could Happen To You," sits on the Global Advisory Council of Restorative Justice International, and is a co-owner of the Recharge Beyond The Bars Re-Entry Game, which facilitates the formerly incarcerated reconnecting with their friends and family.
Jeff does presentations across the country and internationally, as well as motivational speaking. Jeff engages in this advocacy as his life mission because he spent 16 years in prison-from age 17-32- for murder and rape prior to being exonerated by DNA. A documentary short about his advocacy and life post exoneration, called "Conviction," is available on Amazon Prime.
