I needed an attorney who was willing to go the distance. Travis did just that for me. He was not only a great advocate for me but he also took the time to listen to me vent and process things from an emotional standpoint. This was unexpected but greatly appreciated.

Travis goes above and beyond to deliver and ensure my Mom was taken care of after my Dad passed away. Now he is helping me with another legal situation. He listens, presents ideas, advocates for his clients, and is honest, genuine and very reputable.

I hired Travis at the recommendation of a friend. I have had bad experiences with lawyers in the past. Travis restored my faith in the profession. He was compassion, real, forthright and willing to fight the good fight. I would hire him again in a minute.

We are sorry to hear you hold such an opinion of Attorney Van Winkle. While confidentiality rules prohibit us from addressing specifics on a case in a public way, your choice to publish your review anonymously further limits our ability to address the matter with you. We strive to have satisfied clients and we believe our numerous positive reviews across various internet platforms is indicative of the level of service Travis provides. However, it is important to note we are not magicians and when a client brings a case to us we cannot allows help that client accomplish their goals. This is especially so when the client has unrealistic expectations or brings us a sinking ship he/she set on fire before ever walking through our door. We would welcome the opportunity to discuss the matter in more detail with you. Should you desire to do so, please reach out to Travis directly.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level
- Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?

Credentials
- How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?

Cost
- How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?

City
- Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
