David L. Winnett
Partner
I became a lawyer to help people. I was raised in Southern Illinois by parents who taught me about justice and equality, and I knew that becoming a lawyer would be the best way for me to serve those ideals. I also grew up singing and acting and realized that my stage experience would serve me well in the courtroom.
