In this See You In Court short, David Windecher shares the vivid dreams he experienced while incarcerated. He saw himself in a courtroom wearing a suit and standing beside someone he was representing. These visions, paired with the pain he saw in his parents’ faces, pushed him to make the decision to walk out of jail and never return as a defendant.

David Lee Windecher is a trailblazing criminal defense attorney, author, and activist in the social justice movement to end mass incarceration, reduce recidivism and redress racial inequity in the criminal justice system.

In his autobiography The American Dream / HiSstory in the Making, David shares the harsh realities of growing up as an impoverished immigrant on the streets of Miami-Dade County. He was arrested 13 times and spent over 7 months incarcerated as a juvenile. He dropped out of high school and joined a gang for protection. His street name was Red. David endured the brutal climate of the lawlessness on the streets by both criminals and the police. All the while he dreamed of becoming a lawyer and fighting for those who don’t have the resources to pay for justice.

David began his path to self-rehabilitation when he earned his GED in March of 1998 and took his first academic steps toward his childhood dream of becoming a lawyer. He graduated Summa Cum Laude from American Intercontinental University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in 2005 and earned his Juris Doctorate degree from John Marshall Law School in Atlanta, Georgia in 2012. David was admitted to the Georgia Bar in 2012 and the Florida Bar in 2014. David is a member of the Georgia and Florida Court of Appeals, the Georgia and Florida Supreme Court, the Northern District of Georgia United States District Court and the American Bar Association. David specializes in criminal defense, juvenile law, and expungement procedures. In 2022 the National Football League awarded him with the Inspire Change Changemaker Award.

In this preview from tomorrow’s See You In Court episode, David Windecher recalls the moment he was sworn into the Bar in the same courthouse where he once faced 15 years in prison.

That experience became the turning point that inspired RED—Rehabilitation Enables Dreams, a nonprofit helping others rebuild their lives after incarceration.

Would you hire a law firm that folds under pressure?

In this clip from See You In Court, Lester Tate and Lynne Borsuk discuss why true legal advocacy demands heart, strength, and courage—especially when representing unpopular clients. When large firms capitulate to outside pressure, it doesn’t just affect their reputation—it threatens the independence of the legal profession and chills advocacy across our system of justice.

Listen now and hear why Georgia lawyers are speaking out to protect the rule of law and the right to fair representation for all.

“The rule of law is neither conservative nor liberal. It is entirely non-partisan — and it doesn't matter what your political beliefs are. We, as lawyers, are all committed to the rule of law.” – Lynne Borsuk

In this short clip from Episode 51 – Georgia Lawyers for the Rule of Law, Lynne Borsuk and Seth Kirschenbaum remind us that justice depends on our shared commitment to fairness and impartiality.

In this short clip, attorney Seth Kirschenbaum reminds us that speaking up for justice can come with risks—but silence carries far greater ones.

“There’s even potential danger for people that stick their heads above the parapet and say, ‘Wait a minute, what the administration is doing here is wrong and it violates due process or it’s an attack on the rule of law.’”

As part of the Georgia Lawyers for the Rule of Law, Kirschenbaum and more than 400 Georgia attorneys are standing together to protect judicial independence and uphold the rule of law across the state.
