Professional, Cordial & Competent!

I was an underclassman in Mr. Winkelman's law school. He served as a role model there: quiet and studious when necessary, friendly and mentoring otherwise. Later, Mr. Winkelman asked me to serve as an "expert" in a law enforcement-related deposition. I had not seen him for a couple years since h...is graduation and was impressed how completely he had prepared for the matter. He interacted well with all participants, including opposing counsel. Shortly after the deposition he was able to resolved the issue to the satisfaction of both parties. Mr. Winkelman is a consummate professional whom I'd be confident recommending for any legal issue within his practice area. I'd be pleased to provide amplifcation on his credentials; contact me at 509-994-3001.

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.
