Hired Attorney

I originally contacted Mr. Andrew Winston about a car accident I had 8 years ago. He was the ONLY attorney who scheduled time for me. Ultimately, he wasn’t able to assist me in that case. But I was so grateful for his knowledge, kindness, and professionalism. I appreciated the time he took in meeting with me. I had an odd car accident in the summer of 2022. Ms. Madeleine Mannello represented me in the case. I expected a much smaller settlement. They under-promised, but over delivered! Ms. Mannello went above and beyond by negotiating my medical bills. Her actions benefited me greatly so I was able to retain more of my settlement. I don’t think any other law firm would negotiate one’s medical bills. I am so grateful she was my attorney!!! Their whole team is amazing! Linda, Valentina, and Jennifer are all proactive, kind, and communicative. If you are in search of an aggressive law firm, who goes above and beyond, then reach out to Winston Law Firm! I would give them 10 Stars

Hired Attorney

Madeleine and Andrew were terrific guiding me thru the process. I was injured in a car crash caused by a State of Fl employee and received a back injury. The employee was ticketed. Had to sell my business, unable to work, have a recommendation for back surgery. Incredibly the Attorney's and negotiators for the State of FL act like the settlement $$ comes out of their pocket. There is a $200K cap and the initial offer was barely a 1/4 of that. Madeleine negotiated a settlement substantially more than that although if this was a private insurer it would have been multiple times more. Madeleine also negotiated with the health providers to reduce their bills to create a larger net payout to me. If you are in need of legal representation due to an accident you MUST call Winston Law Firm!

Hired Attorney

I waited over 10 days for a negative response in accepting my case. I was mauled by an American Bulldog 4 years ago. My current attorney is petitioning the courts to be removed from my case after 4 years. I was airlifted as a trauma alert. Hospitalized for 2 months, lost use of my arm and I can not seem to get justice because???? Not sure.

 
Response from Andrew
October 29, 2019
Dear Reviewer, I declined your case because you want to sue your current lawyer in Orlando for legal malpractice. I am in Ft. Laud. You contacted me on 10/15, and we declined your case on 10/24, 9 days later. I am so sorry you were hurt, but I can't help.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions
