Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.“If you're facing something serious — this is the attorney you want.” Reviewed by JP – October 2025 If you’re looking for an attorney who won’t just show up — but will stand up for you — you’ve found him. Attorney Winer is the Elite of the Elite! From the very first meeting, Attorney Winer didn’t just listen — he understood. He saw through the noise and got to the truth. He knew exactly when to challenge, when to hold back, and how to expose every legal and factual weakness in the case. His preparation was elite, his cross-examination was surgical, and his presence in the courtroom gave me confidence even on my worst days. He stayed responsive. He calmed me when I panicked. And when it mattered most — he delivered and WON THE CASE!!! After nearly a year of stress and uncertainty, I can say without hesitation that hiring Attorney Winer was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
David is a true professional. He is prompt, thorough, proactive and responsive. He listened without judgment and then formed a strategy to help me get the results I wanted. I highly recommend David for all your legal needs.
Thanks you sooo much for all your hard work and helping me through a difficult process. Got my license reinstated. David Winer is an excellent lawyer that knows how to get the job done.i will recommend to all my friends and families that are in need of his services.
I have worked with his father and Dave takes right after him. They are the top lawyers in IL. They have gotten me out of 125 plus cases without any felonies or jail. He knows it all and is down to earth.
David is an excellent attorney. He is seasoned and very thorough. David helped me to win a difficult 2nd DUI case. He knew exactly what he was doing and he guided through the process with ease. I highly recommend him and am very satisfied with the results. I appreciate your professional aptitude. Thank you.
Working with David to achieve my successful hearing with the Secretary of State was well worth it. I recommend him to anyone trying to achieve getting their license and or permit back.
I learned the hard way that Illinois DUI law is tricky. I am grateful for David's counsel and support. I am sure I would have struggled mightily to regain my driving privileges without his guidance and support.
David Winer is highly recommended and I would definitely choose him in the future. He did exactly what needed to be done.
David Winer was worth every penny! He knows his field inside and out and knows how to present any situation you may have in the way that will get favorable results. But by far the most valuable resource he brings to any case is his experience and familiarity with the administrators you'll have to deal with. This rapport turns people who may look on you with harsh bias into allies who use their power in your favor to help secure the justice you deserve. Hire David and get it right the first time and over with quickly instead of failing over and over again for years costing you many times his reasonable fees.
Very good lawyer if your trying to get license reinstated was very helpful always got back to me in a timely manner walked me threw everything we're doing and got license back in no time
