"I don't always need a lawyer, but when I do - I hire Mr. Winter"

Mr Winter, by far, was the best lawyer I have ever dealt with. Up until about 7 years ago, I had never worked with a lawyer. Then, I had a chance to work with several on many different cases. Mr. Winter stood out from all of our lawyers. As soon as he was briefed on our situation, he knew ex...actly what course of action to take and laid out what steps we needed to do to move forward. He informed us on what he thought would occur through the course of our resolutions and everything that he had directed, worked out perfectly. He was very good in terms of communication back and forth and I never felt like I was waiting to hear back. He was very responsive to our communication and worked with us to resolve our situation in a timely matter. I have never had a bad experience with Mr. Winter and would recommend him to anyone that requires a lawyer.

This Attorney gets great results

I have referred cases to Sidney "Kit" Winter and worked with him on a number of matters. He is highly skilled, knowledgeable and uncommonly intelligent. He was able to resolve several disputes quickly and with minimum expense to the clients. He understands and is able to handle complicated intel...lectual property issues particularly in internet transactions in which technology is continually evolving Kit is also an expert on IP issues arising in the fashion industry--and knows more about the industry than any lawyer I have worked with.

Top Notch

We have been working with Kit for almost a year now and I can confidently say I would recommend him in a heart beat. Professional, smart and easy to work with. We were facing some tough legal battles and Kit pulled through for us.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
