Community

Where Winstead and Community Service Connect.

It is Winstead’s professional imperative to give back to our community. And it is our social conscience that propels our ongoing community service and charitable contributions. These activities have become defining attributes of our attorneys and staff.

As founding partner Pete Winstead notes, “Community service is the core of what we do. We value the opportunity and trust our clients and communities grant us. In return, we seek to honor that trust by making a positive difference where we live and work.”

Winstead in the Community

Winstead’s professionals are active and vital volunteers in a range of social programs, outreach activities and civic projects. We are board members of nonprofits and organizations in the arts, healthcare and other areas that shape the quality of life in our communities.
We devote many hours to support organizations, assist those in need, and invest our personal efforts and professional skills to the diverse people and places that make a difference.
