Practice Areas

Litigation 45%

Civil & criminal litigation; from constitutional rights and catastrophic loss claims, to consumer fraud or class C misdemeanors, if a person has been wronged, I believe the law ought to provide a remedy, and if it doesn't on it's face, I'll do my best to persuade a judge and/or jury to craft one.

Personal Injury 25%

Recovering adequate compensation for an injury you've suffered because someone made a mistake is fraught with difficulty. Insurance companies sole purpose is to hinder your receipt of just compensation. We fight hard to get you real results.

25%
Wrongful Death 20%

Losing a loved one due to another's negligence is heartbreaking and anger-inducing. You need a representative who is both understanding and sympathetic towards your family, while uncompromising calculating, and relentless towards the responsible party. Not only do we offer aggressive litigation services, but we also have invaluable experience dealing with complex estate matters in probate court.

Criminal Defense 10%

I believe in holding the state to its onerous burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. That means filing motions to suppress and fighting the prosecution at every turn.

Recommendation

Great representation. My case was dismissed thanks to Mr. Winocour!!! I would highly recommend him.

Posted by Abrahim | August 22, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Car Accidents

Attorney you can trust

I highly recommend Winocour law if you are ever in an auto accident. I was first introduced to Jonathon Winocour about 20 years ago when my sister was hit by a drunk driver. He handled her case against him. Jonathon Winocour won my sister the full settlement. A couple years later I was in an auto acc...ident which lead to serious spinal injury. Against all odds fighting insurance companies and adjusters, Jonathan Winocour prevailed and got the full settlement amount without even having to go to court. I was very impressed and grateful for his genius. He is a very personable and honest. He gives it to you straight, and he has your best interest at the forefront always! About ten years later I was involved in a second auto accident which cause more spinal injuries. Having my preexisting conditions, Jonathan had to prove this new accident had exacerbated my injuries. This was extremely difficult but not impossible for Winocour Law! He made the whole stressful process extremely smooth and easy for me. I knew I was in good hands and trusted Winocour Law to help me. Again, he won the settlement without going to court. I would highly recommend Winocour Law to friends and family! In fact, I have already done so. I guarantee if I am ever in need of legal counsel again, Winocour Law will be the first and only attorney I will call!

Great service

Great staff, answered questions, took care of outstanding warrants and tickets for two members of my family. Some were even dismissed!! I will use Atty Winocour from now. My entire family was impressed with the service. Use him for your tickets !! Thank you to the entire staff for great and fast s...ervice.

Review

I went with this office instead of the attorney I normally use because the fee was 35.00 less than my regular attorney. The deal with Winocour is that they charge you another fee on top of the hiring fee. Totalling 205.00!!! My regular attorney does not charge you extra fees. I regret hiring them. I ...will not use them again and go back to the attorney I have always used... He has always managed to keep tickets off my record with the one time fee (unless I had to take defensive driving then I had to pay for the class of course). Lesson learned...

Ms. K. Jones, I can't speak to your experience with other attorneys, but I can tell you what our firm did and didn't do. In the email we sent you at the commencement of our representation, this is what we said: "Importantly, if you think we have guaranteed an outcome, like an outright dismissal, or not having to pay any fines and/or court costs, you need to call us immediately and tell us to stop working on your case ... Hopefully, by retaining our firm you will have a deal negotiated for you that makes economic sense, you will be afforded additional time to pay costs and fines, if any, assessed against you, and the driving offense you were cited for will be kept off your record. That doesn’t always happen, but it’s what we strive for." We didn't offer you any worthless guarantees. We didn't tell you we could magically resolve your issue with no additional cost to you beyond our fee. For the service we provided, we charged you $40.00; no more, no less. We attended court on your behalf and negotiated a deferred disposition arrangement to keep the citation from your record, upon payment of a reduced fine, that isn't payable until March. Your original fine and court costs amounted to $226.10, due by January 29, 2018. Thanks to us, you now have until March 23, 2018 to pay the court $165.00 (that's a fine of $60.90, and court costs of $104.10; no payment of any additional attorney's fee is required). You're mistaken if you think our office charges "a fee on top of the hiring fee". We're not in the business of scamming people or ripping people off, we're in the business of charging a very reasonable attorney's fee to deliver a service that saves our clients time, money, and inconvenience. I'm sorry you weren't happy with the service we provided to you. If you want to discuss any of this, or if you need further explanation, please call me, Jonathan Winocour, on 214 575 6060, at any time during business hours.

One of The Best

I would recommend this law firm to anyone that is looking for a law firm that is very reasonable, fair through and follows through and handles it"s business. I had a total of 15 tickets that this law firm got 13 of those tickets DISMISSED. They are presently working on the remaining 2 tickets at this... time, and I am very confident they will be successful in getting those handled fairly also. Great people to work with, and what they charged me to provide their legal service to me was more than reasonable.They are one of "The Best" at handling Traffic Ticket issues by far.
