Winnie worked in federal law enforcement for nearly ten years, during which time she became a FLETC-trained firearms and safety instructor, served on committees dedicated to investigating and supervising special offenders, and assisted with the implementation and operation of a residential substance abuse treatment program. In 2008, Winnie was one of a select group of presenters at a national law enforcement conference, where she discussed the use of evidence-based practices in working with individuals in the criminal justice system.
Although she enjoyed her work, Winnie felt her talents were better suited for legal practice, so she moved to Florida to embark on her journey through law school at Florida Coastal School of Law. During her time in law school, Winnie earned the highest grade in her Torts class, resulting in the receipt of a Book Award. She also worked as a Teaching Assistant for a Legal Research and Writing course, served on the executive board of two student organizations, and was an active member of the school’s elite Moot Court Honor Board.
Winnie is currently licensed to practice law in the State of Florida and admitted to practice in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. She primarily practices family law, handling divorce, child custody, and domestic violence matters. Winnie also has experience handling cases in the following areas:
• National Security Clearance Defense
• Federal Employment Law
• Business Formation
• Contract Drafting
• Intellectual Property (Copyright/Trademark Registration and Enforcement)
• Domestic Violence Law/Injunctions for Protection against Violence
• Family Law
• Civil Litigation
• Criminal Defense
• Estate Planning
In her spare time, Winnie enjoys spending time with her family and attending concerts and sporting events. Winnie is an avid football fan, and she supports the Carolina Panthers and her home team, the Jacksonville Jaguars.

On September 14, I signed an agreement with Ms. Eilert to represent me in court, paying her, at her request, an advance of $2,500. More than 3 weeks after signing the contract, she did not find time or did not want to find time to meet with me and give me the opportunity to acquaint her with the fact...
I am very sorry that you are unhappy with the legal services that you received; however, I believe you may have me confused with another attorney that may have worked with you on a different legal matter. While I do not believe it is appropriate or professional to discuss the details of your case in a public forum, I do feel that it is necessary to point out that the alleged statements noted in your review are related to a criminal case, which is not the legal matter for which I was retained. Also, a public records inquiry would show that no hearing in which I appeared on your behalf resulted in a dismissal of your case, nor did I ever request a dismissal. So while I am very sorry that you have had a bad experience with the legal profession, the statements in this review are not reflective of the services that you received from me.

I highly recommend Winnie Eilert for legal services. She helped me with a family law case in Duval county Florida. As an unmarried father in Florida, I had zero rights to my little girl and a mother who liked to remind me of that every chance she got. So I initially tried to file for paternity myself...

Winnie provided excellent service working with me to resolve some retirement plan concerns with a provider. She was professional, available, well informed regarding the subject matter and very timely with her communications. We successfully concluded our negotiations and at a very reasonable fee.
