Great first time experience!

My wife and I were rear-ended by a delivery truck one month before our wedding, and her injuries kept her from enjoying our honeymoon to the extent she should have. This was the first time we'd ever enlisted legal help and Aaron was fantastic. He was very clear on every detail and question we had, ...and ended up getting us a 5 figure settlement without ever going to court. Highly recommended!

Someone on your side during a stressful situation.

One of the most important thing a lawyer can do for you when you need one is to be up front and honest about potential consequences and at the same time make you feel that you have someone competent on your side. Mr. Winkelhake did both of those things for me throughout the entire ordeal. Throughou...t it all I maintained my innocence and I believe Aaron truly did too. In the end Aaron did a fantastic job proving it all the way to the jury verdict of not guilty. Truth is, a DUI conviction at this point in my life would have been devastating to me and I really thank Aaron for giving me my life back to a large extent.

The lawyer you need.

Aaron Winkelhake did an outstanding job representing me, I can't emphasis it strongly enough. He is impressive. From the start I was impressed with his professionalism. He is smart and extremely knowledgeable as well. Several times during the legal jousting phase of this ordeal Mr. Winkelhake clearly... ran circles around the city attorneys. He worked smart and kept me one step ahead of the process. In my opinion he’s a DUI subject matter expert. My DUI charge was amended to reckless driving with no license suspension, no jail time, no SR22 insurance, no yearlong drug and alcohol counseling and no ignition interlock device. Aaron Winkelhake is an outstanding attorney. For your day in court you will need a serious lawyer standing by your side. I highly recommend Aaron Winkelhake.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
