The fighter.

I cannot recommend Attorney Okoye highly enough. As a criminal defense attorney, she has been a true powerhouse in fighting for justice. From the very beginning, she has been with us every step of the way, demonstrating unparalleled dedication and skill. Her relentless commitment has not only safegua...rded our future but also shown that she is one of the strongest advocates you could ask for. Attorney Okoye's unwavering support and fierce representation have made a profound difference in our lives, and I am incredibly grateful for her exceptional service. If you're in need of a top-tier defense attorney, look no further—Attorney Okoye is the best in the business.

DUI

Attorney Okoye was amazing with my DUI case. She was very knowledgeable, and defended me in court very well. She got my case closed and resulted in me only paying a very small fine. She took her time studying the case, brought proof in court, fought that the police didn't speak to me in my native lan...guage when they detained me. I was more than happy with her service and will recommend her to all my family and friends. I trust her. She is by far the best lawyer I've ever worked with. She really fights for her clients ,God bless her.

I am truly in aww of Winnie’s desire and passion to fight for her clients. She gives it a 110%. I believe if we didn’t have Winnie fighting on our side my husband would not be here with his family today! I can’t thank her enough! I highly recommend Attorney Okoye! She won’t let you down.

best criminal Attorney I know

DUI. Great Attorney. Attorney Ogor Okoye was a Life Saver for my DUI Case. I thought I was done until I met Attorney Okoye. During a very stressful time in my live, I retained Atty. Okoye to represent me for a very complicated criminal case and it was the best choice I made. I will remain very grat...eful and I would recommend her for all my friends and family any day.

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.
