WINDER LAW FIRM
Two Years of Winder Law Firm
When I started Winder Law Firm two years ago, it wasn’t just about opening another personal injury practice in Las Vegas. It was about building something meaningful for the community I live in and care deeply about.
A Non-Traditional Path to Becoming a Lawyer
My path to becoming an attorney was not the traditional one. Before law school, I spent years working in hospital administration, helping manage healthcare systems and seeing firsthand how complicated and overwhelming institutions can be for everyday people. That experience shaped the way I think about service, advocacy, and responsibility.
Eventually, I realized that if I wanted to help people on a deeper level, especially when they were facing life altering moments after injuries or accidents, I needed to go back to school and become a lawyer. So I did exactly that.
Going back to law school after already having an established career was not an easy decision. It required starting over in many ways and taking a leap of faith that the work would ultimately matter. What kept me motivated was the belief that the legal system needs more advocates who truly understand the communities they serve.
After graduating and gaining experience in the legal field, opening Winder Law Firm felt like the natural next step. I wanted to create a practice that focused on people first. You can learn more about the firm and our mission here.
Too often personal injury law becomes about case volume or advertising. My goal was different. I wanted a firm where clients feel heard, respected, and fully supported during one of the most stressful moments of their lives.
Representation, Community, and Trust in the Legal System
Being a Black attorney in Nevada also carries a deeper meaning for me personally. Nationwide, Black attorneys make up roughly five percent of the legal profession. In Nevada, the number has historically been closer to two percent. That reality matters because representation matters.
For many people, especially Black and brown clients, walking into a law office can feel intimidating or unfamiliar. When someone comes to Winder Law Firm, I want them to feel like they are speaking with someone who understands their experiences and genuinely cares about their outcome. My goal has always been to build trust first and let the legal results follow.

Las Vegas is one of the most diverse cities in the country, and it deserves legal representation that reflects that diversity. Over the last two years, I have had the privilege of helping clients who were injured in accidents, dealing with medical treatment, financial stress, and uncertainty about what comes next. For many of them, this was the first time they had ever needed a lawyer.
My job is not only to fight for compensation when someone has been wronged but also to guide them through a complicated process with clarity and honesty. If someone walks away feeling supported and respected, that matters just as much as the legal outcome.
Looking Ahead: The Future of Winder Law Firm
Reaching the two year anniversary of Winder Law Firm is a moment I am incredibly grateful for. It represents the trust clients have placed in me and the team that helps make this work possible every day. It also represents progress in a profession that still has room to grow when it comes to representation and access to justice.
My hope is that the work we do not only helps our clients move forward after difficult situations but also shows the community that integrity, compassion, and strong advocacy can exist together in the practice of law. The first two years are just the beginning, and I look forward to continuing to serve the Las Vegas community for many years to come.
