This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Scott is more than just a lawyer.

Not even 5 minutes into our initial meeting, I knew Scott would be the right attorney to represent me. He not only represented me, but he also guided me every step of the way. Made me feel like a friend, not just a client. He always kept my spirits high and constantly kept things positive! I would... recommend Scott to anyone in need of an amazing attorney and person. Thank you for everything Scott!!

Professional and Personal

Scott made me feel as I have a friend representing me. He is very personal and kept me informed about everything in my case. I previously had another attorney represent me and felt I was getting very little for a lot of money. With Scott Winkler it was completely different. I feel I got a great value..., which is not something I would have expected from legal fees. I highly recommend Scott Winkler for your attorney needs.

Professional and Intelligent

Scott Winkler was extremely helpful with every legal matter that I went to him for. He is very patient and listened to what I had to say. He is very easy to talk to and is very easy to get a hold of. It seems like talking to family when talking with Scott. I would absolutely recommend Scott to anyone... and would definitely ask for his assistance in the future.

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.
