David's bio: I am a trial lawyer with considerable experience in cases not expected to settle before trial or appeal. I have tried to decision numerous cases involving $20 million or more at stake. After spending more than fifteen years representing global corporations in litigation, I left a position as an equity partner at a national law firm to pursue a longstanding personal goal and start my own firm with my wife, Lena. We focus our practice on family law. Together, our mission is to serve our clients with compassion and understanding while delivering optimal results. Lena and I believe in giving back to our community. I have successfully handled numerous pro bono matters throughout my career and will continue to do so as a member of Winters Family Law LLP. Before forming Winters Family Law LLP with Lena, I spoke at conferences and published extensively on legal topics relating to litigation, with a particular emphasis on technology issues. I am an Adjunct Professor at my alma mater, Northwestern University School of Law, where I teach Introduction to Trial Advocacy.
