Winer, McKenna & Davis handles cases on a contingency fee basis; if there is no recovery, there is no fee. All consultations are free.

John D. Winer also recently wrote and published the book Proving Mental and Emotional Injuries, the leading legal resource on the subject matter.

The law firm has on full-time staff an exceptional forensic nurse, Marilyn Mason, who is able to help the lawyers sort out and litigate complex medical issues. This gives the firm a competitive advantage over almost all personal injury, employment litigation and malpractice firms who do not have anyone on staff with medical training. Ms. Mason is recognized as one of the national leaders in her field of legal nursing and increases the law firm's ability to litigate cases with serious, complex medical issues.

Because of Mr. Winer's, Ms. McKenna's and Mr. Davis' reputations in the legal community as the leading attorneys in California in litigating psychological injury and serious personal injury cases, many of the cases handled by the law firm come from referrals from other personal injury lawyers who do not specialize in handling the very serious personal injury, wrongful death, malpractice, product failure, abuse, insurance bad faith, employment harassment and discrimination and other cases in which the firm has received exceptional results. See Significant Cases page.

Mr. Winer explains, "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."
