Criminal Defense 30%

If you are suspected of a crime or charged with a violation of law, you may require the services of a criminal defense attorney to present your defense or negotiate a penalty. As different rules and procedures exist for different offenses, you should seek a criminal defense attorney who has worked on your particular type of case to provide you with the best defense. An experienced criminal defense attorney knows what information the government will need to prove your guilt.

Divorce and Separation 20%

A divorce lawyer helps you if you no longer want to be married. Whether you want a legal separation or the marriage ended, divorce lawyers assist you to arrange financial and family matters, typically in a negotiation with your spouse's lawyer. Alimony, child custody, child support, and a fair division of community assets (like who keeps the house or how your checking and savings accounts are divided) are matters that a divorce lawyer is trained to help determine.

Family law includes laws of marriage, civil unions, relationships, domestic partnerships, divorce, separation, property settlements, alimony, spousal abuse, adoption, child support, child custody and child support. If you need help with a family-related legal issue, a family law attorney can advise in family disputes as well as represent you in lawsuits.

Personal Injury 10%

A personal injury lawyer works with clients who have suffered a physical or emotional injury, usually by accident or mistake. For example, if you are in a car accident or are the victim of a botched surgery, a personal injury attorney can help. They know how the insurance claim process works, they know what evidence to gather, and they know how to calculate and present a claim for damages.

Speeding and Traffic Ticket 10%

If the police give you a ticket for violating traffic laws (quite often for speeding), you may require the services of a traffic ticket lawyer (sometimes called a speeding ticket lawyer) to help you through traffic court. Traffic ticket lawyers know which people to talk to at court and the kind of deals they are willing to make. The traffic ticket lawyer will also know the specific types of proof the officer must submit to the court and when there is not enough information to support the traffic

Workers Compensation 10%

If you are an employee who has been injured or disabled on the job, you may require the services of a workers' compensation lawyer. Usually administered at the state level, workers' compensation can include weekly wage payments, money for financial losses due to the injury, paid medical expenses, and money for pain and suffering. If an employee is killed on the job, then his family can receive the workers' compensation.

I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND

I had hired Mr. Winke for traffic violations as well as a divorce. What a disorganized mess. One of my traffic violations had been misplaced causing a suspened license that he wasn't willing to make right. The day of my divorce court date names on paperwork was misspelled it was a mess.
