Meet W. Kent Winingham, Attorney

Kent Winingham earned his J.D. from Loyola University Chicago School of Law in 2015, where he made the Dean’s List each year. Following law school, Kent practiced at a prominent personal injury firm in downtown Chicago. While Kent’s practice focused primarily on cases of nursing home neglect and abuse, he litigated a variety of personal injury and medical malpractice cases to trial.

Since moving back to Indianapolis to join WKW in 2017, Kent has tried multiple cases to verdict.  His verdicts include cases involving medical malpractice, nursing home negligence, and motor vehicle collisions.

Prior to practicing law, Kent attended Bowdoin College, where he majored in government and legal studies. Kent played on Bowdoin’s men’s tennis team all four years and was the captain his senior year, when the team reached the Elite 8 of the NCAA Division III National Championship. In his free time, Kent enjoys spending time with his wife, Ashley, and his sisters and parents, being an uncle to his nieces and nephews, golfing, running, playing tennis, exploring Indianapolis, and cheering on his favorite sports teams.

Kent is licensed to practice in both Indiana and Illinois.
