Mr. Winer has obtained many significant trial results including verdicts such as Rahn v. Lowinger, M.D., which resulted in a $7.1 million dollar verdict; Walker v. Parzen, M.D. which resulted in a $4.5 million dollar verdict; and Curtis v. Dizmang, M.D. in which a jury awarded $1.5 million dollars.

The triad of professional exploitation cases above, have helped fundamentally change the way that professional exploitation cases are now handled by litigators. The risk of verdicts like these has made professionals and their insurance carriers far more likely to attempt to achieve a fair and quick settlement rather than risk enormous loss. This has meant that many professional exploitation cases can settle without the patient being subjected to sometimes difficult litigation.

Mr. Winer is recognized as one of the leading attorneys in the State of California at trying cases, especially cases involving psychological trauma. He has received the California Trial Lawyers Association Recognition of Experience Certificate as an experienced trial lawyer. He has been invited to be on the faculty at the Hastings Law School College of Trial Advocacy where he teaches the trial art to other experienced attorneys.

In addition, Mr. Winer lectures to attorneys around the State on trial techniques and how to achieve significant verdicts.

In a newspaper article featuring Mr. Winer, a former president of the California Trial Lawyers Association said this:

"John Winer is one of the best trial attorneys for his years of experience in the country. I don't give this praise lightly. It is based on the results he has achieved. I also have the highest respect for him as a human being."

The above case results were based on the facts of the individual cases, and results in other cases will differ if based on different facts. For further information, go to our Significant Cases page.
