(13)Michael Hayes, DUI and DWI Attorney on Sep 26, 2018
Relationship: Other
David Winer is one of the finest attorneys for DUI and criminal defense in Lake County. I have used him as co-counsel many times in matters where an Illinois resident has been arrested in Wisconsin for operating under the influence or a related offense. Variations between how Wisconsin and Illinois view these matters create great complexity. David has always been able to minimize the effect in Illinois for residents arrested in Wisconsin. I strongly endorse Attorney David Winer

I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Winer is an effective, polished and highly skilled criminal defense attorney that has extensive experience handling DUI and basically any criminal defense matter. In addition, Mr. Winer is a tremendous resource because he is an accomplished administrative hearing attorney that can help clients restore their driving privileges before the Illinois Secretary of State. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Winer to any client in need of Grade A defense or license reinstatement via an administrative hearing before the Secretary of State.
