A dedicated and hard working attorney. Believes in her clients more than they believe in themselves. Goes out of her way to offer legal advice before taking your case free. Winnie keeps in touch with her clients to find out how they are doing with their families, gives them hope and promising them n...ot to give up no matter what as she will always be on your side fighting tooth and nail. She's patient and well versed with what she does. She has excellent personality and will never look down on anybody... She made me believe in her and I'm so glad did. Thank you for your superb legal work and Lord will always bless the work of your hands...!

Fantastic Attorney!!!

From my first contact with attorney Ogor to the very last stage, I have been very pleased and satisfied. After our first consultation, I was confident I was in the best hands. She is experienced, very knowledgable, very professional, down to earth, patient, always provided answers to my numerous q...uestions and never made me feel I was disturbing her with my numerous calls..lol. (I did call her a lot). She always responded to mails and calls. She was there through out the process and would always provide updates at all stages of the process. I remember her meeting up with me during off hours to accommodate my schedule just to ensure we go over the paper work for accuracy. I must add that I appreciate the fact that she was very clear, and honest. Never gave false hopes and made sure what was at stake was understood. She was very supportive, very positive and her positivity is very contagious..lol I could go on and on..but if you are looking for an experienced, capable and result driven attorney, look no further. She is the best in books

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.
