Daeshawn Dominique Barrett is the founder and sole attorney at Barrett Law Firm, PLLC. He earned his Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies from Ferrum College, with minors in Political Science, Business Administration, and History — before completing his Juris Doctor at Appalachian School of Law.

Daeshawn made history as the first student to complete Ferrum College's 3+3 accelerated program, finishing both his undergraduate degree and law school in six years instead of seven. His drive extended beyond the classroom — he founded a community health and wellness organization at Ferrum College that helped students transform their lives through fitness and accountability, reflecting his commitment to service and discipline.

A faith-driven attorney with deep community roots, Daeshawn brings the same tenacity to the courtroom that propelled him through an accelerated legal education. Every client receives his direct attention — no associates, no handoffs, no shortcuts.

“Anyone who wants to go into law should pick a school where you see yourself succeeding and be willing to sacrifice today's pleasures for tomorrow's promises.”
