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.

Family LAw

I went to see Jonathan, about my divorce. I found him to be very helpful very patient, very thorough when discussing my situation. Jonathan prepared me for the possible, best and worst case scenarios. Other attorney's made me feel rushed, and not listened to. Jonathan is very genuine and cares abo...ut the outcome for his clients and not just about his wallet. His office staff are very friendly and professional. Due to his advise and counsel my situation has drastically improved for all involved and I cannot recommend this guy and his associates enough. I know where to go if I need some legal help in the future. Many Thanks!

Thankful to Mr. Winocour and his staff for helping after my auto accident!

Mr. Winocour and his staff were all very helpful, patient and understanding throughout my case. I was involved in a serious auto accident, and desperately needed someone to help with financial recovery. The other driver was underinsured, and there were other factors that made the case more complica...ted than it initially appeared on the surface. Communication was timely, and they always took the time to fully explain what was going on and where we were in the process. Mr. Winocour is very knowledgeable, and did a great job of negotiating with the insurance companies, hospitals, doctors, etc. I'm very pleased with the settlement he was able to get for me. I highly recommend Winocour Law!

Great Attorney and one of the best that I've worked with!

First and foremost I would like to say that Jonathan and his staff provided excellent service from start to finish! One must understand that the legal process (for any case) can sometimes be long and drawn out. My case took 2 years to finish which is completely fine with me. That being said, Jonathan... and his staff always kept me in the loop, were clear on every step of the process, and always provided me with the best possible advice/options available. His staff did do most of the communicating/managing of my case during the initial phase and they were phenomenal! When Jonathan's time came to represent me in person he was the best that I had seen thus far! He was passionate, very vocal, really took a personal approach, and was just an overall meticulous craftsman of his trade in my experience with him! He was great and I would definitely refer him to anyone for legal advice and representation!

Posted by alan | May 13, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

was optimistic at first but greatly disappointed at result

Charged more than double most ticket attorneys and received $35 attorney results. With the exorbitant fee it should've included appeal to county court, not just a appearance from a associate to do less than I could have . It would've been cheaper to just pay tickets. I've accumulated alot of tickets... over the years and quite familiar how the system works. Never got to speak to attorney just whoever answers the phone, ironic he can respond to reviews on several sites but unavailable on the phone. Just 2 emails plus 1 five days after judication and no calls isn't much service for $260, especially considering result.

Hi 'alan', I appreciate the opportunity to respond to your review, even if I disagree vehemently with what you have said. As you know, my firm resolved two Plano Municipal Court citations you allowed to lapse into warrant, despite your alleged familiarity with "how the system works." We lifted both those warrants (given your familiarity with the system you presumably know you could not have done this yourself without posting a full cash bond, so to suggest we did less than you could have simply isn't true). We reduced your fines by $175.10, and we secured deferred adjudication arrangements on each ticket so nothing will show up on your driving record. Given the fine reduction we achieved for you, your net cost for our representation was less than $100.00. You didn't have to go to court, or waste any of your own time taking care of this. We communicated with you via email throughout our representation, and we were always a phone call away; indeed all our emails invite a call should you have a question or a concern. We didn't hear a word from you until we saw your negative reviews here and on Google. In spite of this, we'll be happy to represent you the next time you get a traffic citation and forget to attend to it. Drive safely!
