The national law firm of Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP announced today that Chicago Partner Daniel Trevino was installed as President of the Hispanic Lawyers Association of Illinois (HLAI), effective July 9, 2015.

As President, Mr. Trevino will carry out the HLAI's mission to promote high standards of competence, professionalism and integrity with and among Latino attorneys and the Latino community of the State of Illinois. Prior to his installation as President, Mr. Trevino served the HLAI as an Officer, Board member and annual supporter of HLAI's JD Mentors Program.

Mr. Trevino's dedication to the Latino law community has been established over many years of strong leadership and hard work.
