Andrew Winston’s journey to becoming a personal injury lawyer began more than two decades ago, when he received his J.D. from Nova Southeastern University Law School. As a bright, ambitious young attorney, Andrew Winston gained diverse experience in Florida personal injury law while working as a lawyer at two Florida insurance defense firms and serving as a partner at a top personal injury firm.

After spending more than a decade as partner at the Lawlor, Winston, White, & Murphy personal injury firm, Mr. Winston set out to spearhead a law practice of his own—the Winston Law Office. Today, Mr. Winston leads a team of top attorneys, paralegals, and administrative staff, all dedicated to defending the rights of Floridians and their families.

The practice focuses on a comprehensive range of personal injury matters, including wrongful death, auto accidents, cruise ship injuries, and professional liability. Mr. Winston is committed to defending the rights of those who have been injured due to the negligence of others, working tirelessly to obtain fair and just compensation for them so that they have the best chance possible at recovering and being able to return to a normal life. Additionally, he believes that holding people and organizations accountable for their harmful mistakes makes things better for everyone by bringing safety concerns and inappropriate practices to light and demanding change.

Mr. Winston’s philosophy is simple: he wants to ensure that you receive the compensation you need to get your life back on track. Often, it is possible to make a favorable deal happen without even going to trial. However, unlike many other personal injury lawyers, Andrew Winston will not take a lowball offer just to avoid having to go to trial. If it seems like the best way to help you get the compensation that you deserve, he will argue your case at trial – just as he has successfully done for a number of other clients.

Andrew Winston is admitted to practice before all Florida courts, as well as the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida and the United States 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. He has been commemorated for his superiority in the defense of victims of personal injury by admission to the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, and Mr. Winston is also AV Rated by the Martindale-Hubbell Law Directory. He was recently voted by his peers to Florida Trend’s “Legal Elite” and named a Florida “SuperLawyer”—a distinction reserved for the top 5% of lawyers in the state.

Additionally, Mr. Winston is a proud member of the Florida Justice Association, the Broward County Justice Association, the Broward County Bar Association, and the American Association for Justice.
