About Lena
Biography
My name is Lena Goretsky Winters and I am the principal of Winters Family Law Firm where I practice family law exclusively. I am also an Adjunct Professor at Northwestern University School of Law, where I teach Introduction to Trial Advocacy at the Bartlit Center for Trial Advocacy I instruct Northwestern JD and LLM students from all over the world how to present a case in the most effective manner to a judge or a jury in an American courtroom.
Prior to founding Winters Family Law Firm and becoming an adjunct professor, I practiced family law and criminal defense law in Chicago’s premiere law firms. I have become familiar with state and federal courts and have successfully litigated custody disputes, high stakes divorce cases and white color criminal cases in front of judges and juries. I graduated from Northwestern University School of law in 2003 and received a Masters degree in Linguistics from Northwestern University in 2000. I am originally from Kiev, Ukraine and I am fluent in Russian and have a good command of Spanish.
