About David J. Winer

Over 30 years experience in LAKE COUNTY practicing DUI, Traffic/Criminal Law & Secretary of State hearings.  Free consultation & office across from courthouse. It is critical to hire a local lawyer with significant ties to the legal community.  Our family firm has been in Lake County for decades and is a known fixture here.  For a comprehensive background please visit .  Since graduating from law school in 1988 I have only concentrated only in criminal, DUI/Traffic defense, and Secretary of State hearings for the reason that law is very complex and a successful lawyer must keep abreast of all the new changes.  Concentrating only in these areas has allowed me to keep focused on being the best.  I encourage all prospective clients to carefully read the full biography of any attorney they are considering.  Avoid the claims or promises.  Get to the heart of their experience, skill, geographic location and background.  I can assure you that I wll meet all your qualifications   For Secretary of State hearings visit www. for a comprehensive background of the requirements to obtain driving privileges.    I work with cases in the following areas, Waukegan, Highland Park, Lake Forest, Lake Bluff, Mundelein, Lincolnshire, Libertyville, Antioch, Barrington, Buffalo Grove, Des Plaines, Evanston, Fox Lake, Glenview, Gayslake, Gurnee, Highwood, Hoffman Estates, Kildeer, Lake Zurich, Lincolnwood, Morton Grove, Mount Prospect, Niles, Northbrook, Northfield, Riverwoods, Rolling Meadows, Rould Lake, Round Lake Beach, Rosemont, Schaumburg, Skokie, Wauconda, Wheeling, Wilmette, Winthrop Harbor, Zion, Chicago and all other surrounding suburbs

“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.

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.

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 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.
