Due to Mr. Winer's and Ms. McKenna's reputation in the legal community in litigating serious personal injury cases, many of the cases handled by the law firm come from referrals from other lawyers who don’t specialize in handling serious personal injury litigation.

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."
