6 years in the making

Alex helped me in 2019 and I forgot to leave a review. He was very professional and secured the desired result.

Representation of Council, Alex Winston,

I'm an Over The Road Truckdriver for the U.S. Postal Service. I travel across country, every week, from central N.C. to Los Angels. So, my job allows for situations to happen more often than most, specifically moving violations. Working for the Federal Government, as a commercial driver, I'm constan...tly under strict scrutiny to maintain my position and the government! Recently, I received a citation. Not being from the area or state, I had no familiarity of any attorneys. After searching the internet, I read the very first listing's reviews; Attorney, Alex Winston. He had a 5 Star Rating and several rave reviews! And, faced with a very short time to plan for representation, I contacted Attorney, Winston. He was very cordial and assured me that he would work to achieve the best results. At which, he Thorne's explained how and what to expect, as the final result; to make sure this would not go on my driving record. With all said, I felt confident and assured I made the right decision. 2 Weeks later, results successfully achieved! Being a commercial driver, I will definitely refer any and all other truckdrivers and others to Attorney, Winston! And, if the situation ever arises again and I need representation, I will not hesitate to use him again! Thanks, Alex

Fantastic lawyer for any traffic violation

After receiving a ticket for going twice the speed limit and reckless driving, I was unsure of what to do. I called 6 different offices and Alex was extremely informative and discussed what he thought he would be able to do. Regarding the traffic violations, he was able to have the reckless dri...ving outright dismissed and the speeding violation to be removed upon completion of driving school. I was very pleased and impressed with Alexander's performance and am very glad I hired him. If you are facing any sort or traffic violation, I highly recommend contacting Mr. Winston.

Simply the best

Alex is an amazing lawyer. He was prompt when responding, sent fool proof instructions, and provided a personal experience and got me out of my ticket to help keep my auto insurance cost down. I would recommend him to anyone needing any law services.
