If you or someone you know was convicted of simple drug possession in Washington State, you may be entitled to justice and compensation. The Supreme Court of Washington's decision in State v. Blake (2021) ruled that Washington’s law criminalizing simple drug possession was unconstitutional. As a result, thousands of convictions for drug possession are eligible to be vacated, and you may be entitled to refunds for legal financial obligations (LFOs) or other compensation.
At the JustAssist Foundation, we provide guidance to individuals wrongfully convicted, helping them navigate the complex legal system to obtain the compensation they deserve. Even if you're representing yourself (pro se), you don’t have to settle for less than you deserve. We assist people like you in challenging inadequate settlement offers and help ensure that the process is as simple as possible for self-represented individuals.
If you were convicted of simple drug possession, your conviction may be vacated.
You may be eligible to receive a refund of any fines, fees, or costs you paid in connection with your conviction.
You may also have a right to pursue additional compensation for the harm and challenges caused by your wrongful conviction.
Hiring an attorney is not always necessary, and you can represent yourself in many aspects of the post-Blake compensation process. Our foundation is committed to helping you:
We provide you with step-by-step guides, templates, and advice on how to pursue your case, even if you don’t have legal representation.

At The JustAssist Foundation, we believe that every individual wrongfully convicted deserves a fair outcome. We’ll help you understand the compensation you’re entitled to and how to fight for just restitution, not just the first offer that comes your way.
