Bio
I’m Stephanie Barajas, founder of Go To For Justice.
With years of experience working in criminal defense—as a paralegal in public office, in private law firms, and as a proud U.S. Army veteran—I have seen firsthand how overwhelming, confusing, and isolating the justice system can be. I’ve worked alongside attorneys, court staff, and community professionals, and I’ve supported individuals and families during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.
Those experiences shaped why I created Go To For Justice.
What I Believe
Go To For Justice is built on core beliefs in second chances, human dignity, and mental health awareness. I believe every person deserves to be treated with compassion, respect, and fairness—regardless of their circumstances or where they are in the judicial process.
People should feel informed, supported, and empowered—not judged or rushed—when they are seeking help.

Through Go To For Justice, I strive to be a trusted guide and advocate, helping individuals and families navigate uncertainty by connecting them with reliable legal professionals, supportive resources, and community-based solutions that can truly make a difference.
Because I understand the justice system from the inside, I’m able to offer clarity, honest guidance, and thoughtful referrals—always grounded in ethics and integrity.
