Andrew is the best!

My 21 year old daughter has been injured by the negligence of a restaurant. Her injuries were grave and life treathing. She has now life long health issues as the result of these injuries. We've hired Andrew to sue for damages.Through all our ordeal caring for our daughter and through her painfull healing process, Andrew has been very caring and sensitive to my daughter needs. At the same time he has been hard working and tough when needed, in my daughter's behalf. Never anything less than highly professional. Because of Andrew's efforts, focuse, wit, and hard work, she has received the highest possible settlement in her case. This has made it possible for her attend to her future medical care as new technology emerges. We can only say that Mr. Andrew Winston gave our daughter back her dignity and "life" so to speak.We recommend him highly, he is the best!!

Excellent lawyer

I had an accident. He helped me a lot in conducting the legal matter afterwards. Excellently done job and wonderful personal and professional attitude.

Posted by Hector | July 11, 2011

Hands-down the BEST law firm in Florida!

Andrew and his lawyers and team of staff became my true "partners" in a long, hard-fought litigation. I was badly hurt when I was hit on my motorcycle by a drunk driver. Lawlor Winston got me enough money to take care of myself for the rest of my life. Thanks!
