"I endorse Don. He is an extremely talented attorney. His accolades include being a member of the Best Lawyers in America, Mountain States Super Lawyers and Litigation Council of America. It's also quite clear that Don cares about his clients. For example, in the wake of September 11, 2001, Don began providing free legal representation to United States military personnel and their families in matters ranging from personal injury settlement negotiations to workers’ compensation representation."

Personal injury lawyer | Jun 03

Relationship: Friend

"Don Winder and the Winder & Counsel, P.C. law firm have every qualification you may look for in legal counsel. Don Winder treats his clients with respect and works tirelessly to ensure their cases reach the best possible outcome. Winder & Counsel, P.C. has a national reputation as business and trial lawyers and Don Winder has held numerous leadership positions in the bar. I know Don Winder and his law firm’s work through their association with Primerus, one of the most respected international lawyers’ organizations. He and his firm had to meet and exceed the requirements of providing a high level of service at a reasonable cost, as well as integrity in all dealings. Even more importantly, this recognition has come from the recommendation of clients, fellow lawyers and the courts. With his qualifications and past trial experience, I would not hesitate to refer cases to Don Winder and his firm Winder & Counsel, P.C."

"I know Don personally and he is one of the brightest lawyers I know. He's a fighter and a very well-respected attorney in our legal community. Don has been recognized by his peers for his legal work and has been vetted by the Primerus network; an organization of international lawyers who must meet the highest of standards. If I have an injury or death case in the Salt Lake City area, I would most certainly refer the matter to Don Winder and feel confident that the client would be represented by the very best."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
