Good attorney

I received a speeding citation in Blount County, I live out of state. I contacted Mr. Winston to see if I could get the ticket dismissed or reduced. I consulted with him he told me that it was a possibility to get it dismissed outright that was what he was going to try to do. He also appeared in cour...t on my behalf so I wouldn't have to come back into town. I was contacted by him on my court date he told me the ticket was dismissed outright. Mr. Winston was well worth hiring to fight my ticket.

Very professional and responsive.

Alex Winston was extremely responsive, professional, and very communicative in both his phone and written communications. He handled my case to a favorable outcome and was very efficient and knowledgeable about the legal issues and court processes for my case. I would definitely not hesitate to hir...e him again.

True Professional

Alex was an absolute professional from start to finish. I received a ticket when visiting the area and gave Alex a call after returning home. He was very polite on the phone, took down all of my information, sent me an email shortly after, and was prompt to let me know the favorable outcome of my cas...e. I hope to never find myself in this situation again while visiting, but if I do; i'll call Alex.

20 mph over the speed limit ticket in TN

While in TN with my family on vacation, I recieved a speeding ticket while on my way downhill into the city. Momentum makes it very easy to unintentionally go over the speed limit especially when your used to driving in a mountainless city such as Miami Fl. In this case, I was going 20 mph in a 45 m...ph speed zone. Anyhow, I googled local traffic lawyers and to my benefit, found Alex Winston. I left a message with Alex's assistant and he returned my phone call promptly. Alex was extremely informative and his cost to represent my case was very reasonable. My court date was a week ago. Alex showed up as promised and sent me an email thereafter explaining what the judge had decided. The outcome of the case was favorable. All I had to pay was court fees of 65 dollars. With no reservations whatsoever, I highly recommend Alex Winston to represent you as your attorney. Thanks, Andy

An outgoing, professional lawyer!

I am an out of towner, who obtained Mr. Winston's services this past Spring for a speeding ticket. Upon contacting him, he made time to meet with me right away. His office was centrally located in the Knoxville area, easy to get to. His assistant was very friendly and helpful. Mr. Winston was... very professional and outgoing. He explained the process to me, and told me what he would do for me. What the expected outcome might be both best case and worst case. Of course he ended up getting me BEST case scenario, which was having my ticket thrown out. I'm glad I went with Alexander Winston. 5 stars! I would recommend him to anyone in the Knoxville area!
