Former Judge and Attorney Zach Winsett Featured in In-Depth Spotlight Interview on Justice Reform and Community Law
Jacob Zach Winsett, a former judge and current attorney at Bob Zoss Law Office, has been featured in a new editorial spotlight that traces his journey from rural Indiana to the bench of Warrick County Superior Court and now back to private practice.
The article, titled “From the Courtroom to the Community: The Journey of Attorney Zach Winsett,” explores how Winsett’s career reflects the kind of community-first, reform-minded approach gaining momentum in cities like London. His work with public defenders, drug courts, and community correction initiatives mirrors similar challenges and solutions shaping the UK’s legal landscape.
In the piece, Winsett reflects on his approach to justice: “Being a judge means listening more than speaking. You’re not there to punish. You’re there to make sure the process is fair.”
The feature also touches on his early days growing up on a farm in Chrisney, Indiana, where he learned discipline through hard work and sports. With a career spanning public defence, drug court advocacy, and teaching legal education classes, Winsett brings a rare, multifaceted perspective to criminal justice reform.
“A lot of people just need someone to fight for them,” he says in the interview. “Not because they’re innocent. But because they’re human.”
Key moments in the article include his time serving on the Warrick Jail Committee and Court Alcohol and Drug Programme Committee, as well as his transition back into private practice—where he now uses his full range of experience to represent individuals and families.
The piece resonates with current conversations in the UK about rehabilitation-focused sentencing, legal accessibility, and alternative pathways for offenders. Winsett’s story offers actionable insights for communities exploring how legal systems can be both effective and humane.
