Jared Christian Winter

Recently, I found myself in a potentially disasterous situation, and when I called for Mr. Thorman (who I had previously retained on a different case) I was told he had retired. Panic! However, Mr. Jared Winter stepped in for the rescue, literally. First conversation: He informed me that he consu...lted with another lawyer prior to returning my call. I immediately felt a sense of relief (brainstorming among intellectuals often yields better results) at his honesty and then his advice that he gave me. The consult was a goldmine: he instantly informed me what not to do (which incidently resulted in me not getting charged) and informed me what my legal obligations were. Later that day I required more help as few more details came to light: I received a call back about 20 minutes later and he helped me with my option to navigate through my situation. When it did not work, the following business day Mr. Winter handled my issue with the police officer in such a manner that I did not have to personally meet/talk or even look at the officer. Mr. Winter mentioned the officer asked me to come in-person & hand some paperwork, however my lawyer maneuvered it so that it was e-mailed instead. Lastly, during my first conversation Mr. Winter asked if I was okay, injury wise. It completely caught me off guard. It was unexpected and honestly refreshing! I've worked with a few lawyers and in my experience most were very "as a matter of fact" and focused only on prepping me on what to expect. I don't remember anyone ever asking me if I was okay.

Life is a complicated thing. As you attempt to make the best of it, we all make mistakes along the way. With my mistakes came consequences. I was arrested for making bad decisions, and I needed legal representation. I was arrested in Nevada, and because I was facing 3 felonies in California, I wa...s held on a 30 day extradite hold at CCDC in Las Vegas. Because I was on a hold I didn't have a public defender or anybody representing me. If California wanted to pick me up, they had 30 days to come get me. I could have waited the 30 days, but regardless if California came or not, my warrants would still be active. I would have the same monkeys on my back as before the 30 days. A strong support system insisted that this can be handled differently than me just waiting. I decided to hire a lawyer. My mother did some research and found a firm where I was blessed with Jared Christian Winters. These charges were old, marijuana based, but still felonies. I am a professional and I couldn't bare being a felon. I didn't know if a lawyer could really do anything for me on an extradite. My boss is who translated everything to me because I was locked up, and he dealt with my lawyer more than I did. As time continued while locked up, Jared continued to fight for me. I felt comfortable with everything as he progressed through this case. I was in jail and I wasn't afraid. He pulled all punches to get this extradite lifted and me released. He was able to get my charges reduced in California, without me there, because I was in jail. Then with just misdemeanors it was evident that if I was in California, I would already be released. That made it clear that they weren't coming. It just had one problem, Clark County wouldn't facilitate the lift on the Nevada side. Mr. Winter went at it again. He eventually got my charges reduced, and was able to get my lift released with a citation signed by a lawyer in Nevada. From what I hear this is very rare. Not too many cases end in a lifted extradite hold. My original release date was on Thanksgiving of 2018. I was released a week early and got to spend the holiday with my family. This alone made hiring Jared as my lawyer the smartest thing I could have ever done when my freedom is at stake. After I was released, I called him and asked if we can hire him again. He went to court on those original felony charges that he was able to reduce while I was incarcerated in another state. Following court on December 13th, my entire case is dismissed. We all make mistakes, and we all deserve another chance. Sometimes we need life to give us a break. I thank you Jared Christian Winter for getting me that break, allowing me to move on with my life, and taking those monkeys off my back. I highly suggest others with legal issues do the same.

I've worked with other attorneys in the past mostly for family law, custody, divorce ect..... I hired Mr. Winter for a restraining order situation that I was in with a tenant that lived on my property. I was extremely pleased with his services. He was so on top of things! The whole entire process fe...lt so streamlined. He made what could have been a very stressful situation very un-stressful. he was very responsive with communication and he also charged me a flat rate, which is so great!!!! I would definitely hire him again as well as highly recommend him to friends and family.

After hiring another attorney employed with Jared's employer, Jared got assigned to my case after my original attorney left to start his own practice. My future was definitely hanging in the balance, and it was Jared's conversations with the presiding judge and the DA which allowed me to enjoy an out...come which enabled me to remain a free man - able to continue life as I know it. I would heartily recommend him to anyone in need of an excellent defense attorney.

Jared represented me for my second DUI. As a multiple offender with a very high BAC, I was terrified. (Apparently I was so trashed that I didn't have a recollection of giving blood at the police station...) My horror scenarios about the punishment that awaited me were proven right when, on our firs...t appearance, the DA wanted me to serve 22 days in jail. A number of health issues kept me from going to subsequent court dates, which Jared handled for me, allowing me to focus on my health and my recovery. When we finally went to sentencing, Jared convinced the DA and the judge to waive all jail time (22 days!) My "punishment" was going to AA/NA meetings twice a week while I was on probation. The outcome was astonishingly good. But that's not the only thing that sets Jared apart from other lawyers. Throughout the proceedings, which lasted from July 2017 to February 2018, he was kind, compassionate and steadfast in his support of me well beyond the scope of the case. He is a natural empath. He knows how helpless we feel when we confront the legal system and he responds with a highly unusual combination of confidence, competence and kindness. I will never forget when, confronted with health issues that made me a less-than-reliable client, he said, simply: "I'll take care of it." And he did. At the time I recall thinking: "When was the last time someone (anyone!) said that to me so plainly and so bereft of annoyance, and then followed through?" Jared is also the only lawyer who *always* responded to my calls within the business day, if not immediately; and he never made me feel like I was over-taxing him, even though he was helping me on a fixed-fee basis. If you want to be in good hands and get the best representation you could possibly hope for, this is the person to consult. I am a cynic and naturally distrust lawyers. If you are like me and you have the good fortune to be represented by Jared, you might find that he changes your mind. Sometimes its hard to have our basic views of the world shattered. Rarely, however, it is a wonderful and uplifting surprise!
