Mr. Winer is recognized as one of the top lawyers in the state of California on handling cases with complex damage and causation issues.

Each case is handled personally by Mr. Winer and at least one associate attorney. The firm spends the time and money on each case that is necessary to produce a successful result. Each client is given individual attention. This is particularly crucial in large defective drug cases when some firms represent hundreds of clients and put them all together in a class action. Frequently, under those circumstances the needs of the individual clients are ignored. The Law Offices of John D. Winer prides itself on paying close attention to the case of each client. The Firm tries to only take the best cases to insure that each case can receive the attention that it deserves.

Mr. Winer's has a reputation in the legal community as being one of the leading serious personal injury attorneys in California. Most of the cases handled by the law firm come from referrals from other personal injury lawyers who do not specialize in handling prescription drug injuries cases. Many of these cases result in severe psychological trauma and require thoughtful and sensitive representation of clients.

Because we are selective in the cases that we handle, we can give each case the special attention that it deserves. We only accept cases when we believe that the plaintiff will be better off after the litigation than they are before they attempt to seek redress for their injuries. We attempt to not only obtain the best financial result that we can for the client, but also attempt to help people become empowered through the litigation process.

Because of our reputation, we are sometimes able to settle cases without extensive litigation and without exposing our clients to the trauma of litigation. If a case does have to be litigated, we pursue it aggressively.
