Steven Zwick was professional and compassionate assessing my legal situation and provided the best insight that would benefit me for the long term and helped me see the big picture.

Great service from dedicated people

I highly recommend them. Great people who care!!!

Stephanie was a pleasure to work with. This was a rewrite of our Will and Trust that was done by other folks in 1995. Actually, not a rewrite but a brand new set of documents. Stephanie has the talent and experience to walk you through the questions and answers in a way that is simple and thorough. We were very impressed and would recommend her without limitation.

I was very pleased with the work done for me by Stephanie Winstead. Everything was handled so professionally and timing was very prompt. Stephanie is outstanding in her knowledge of the law as well as being a gracious and personable lady. I would certainly recommend her to anyone I thought could use her services. Sincerely, Mary Ellen Leake

What a great experience working with Stephanie !

I have known Stephanie Winstead for about 10 years and have found her to be very friendly as well as very bright. Most of all, she is a person of high integrity and hard work. I know you will be pleased working with her.

Sabrina at OC Legal helped me greatly with an urgent divorce matter. She was extremely knowledgeable in the processes and paperwork I needed to file and how to do it properly. My case went very well. She was super efficient and saved me thousands of dollars! Thanks Sabrina!

I've been in trouble with the law a few times in my life, and used a total of three different Defense Attorneys on three different cases, over about a ten year span. The first two criminal cases I picked up, were totally bogus, because I was totally innocent, but I was still charged, and faced severe enough punishment, that I felt I needed legal representation. So I retained a personal Defense Attorney, paid their BS inflated fees, and ended up getting a terrible deal, no better than one a Public Defender would have negotiated. So needless to say, I developed a pretty bad taste for defense attorneys, but I ended up on the wrong side of the law again, and got charged with two pretty severe offences. Charges that my PD was pushing me to accept the 6 month deal she had work for me over a like a 8 month period of time. I finally had enough of her lack of ability, care, and attention to my situation, so I told her to hand over my file to a real Attorney. I had not retained a Private Attorney, but hear good things about Stivers, and knew I was going to try to get him to represent me. So at 10 am in court with my PD, I told her thanks for nothing, I will be back this afternoon with my new Attorneys information. I left the courthouse with nothing but Jeffrey Stivers name, and the names of two people I knew that he represented in the past. I just went for it, I heard good things about Stivers, and had a good feeling that things would workout. I had no number, no idea if he was too busy, or even working, maybe he was on vacation, but I googled him, called his office, explained who I was and who I knew, and after a couple minute conversation, I was certain he was the Attorney I needed to defend me. His fee was very reasonable, I could tell he knew what I was really facing, and that the deal he was going to try and get me, was most likely obtainable. He never promised me any miracle deal, or lead me to believe I was gonna get the deal I was praying for, a deal with zero jail time. We both knew the DA was gonna demand a little jail time, but Stivers was confident he could get a very small amount that would ultimately convert to Home Confinement, CWP, or worse case weekends. Well sure enough, he got the DA to agree to 30 days, which I had 15 days credit, so it would end up after good time, work time, and a 3 day kick, doing 7 days. So to sum things up, I committed 2 felonies, felonies that even OJ wouldn't have been able to get out of. I was facing 6 months, 3 years formal probation, and 40 hours community service I owed. Stivers got me 15 days home confinement, (I ended up going to Lacy and slept for 7 days), 30 days Cal Trans, and 3 years Probation, which I think was an awesome deal. Besides his undeniable talent as a top Defense Attorney, Stivers brought a few other very desirable talents or traits into our client/Attorney relationship. He always made me feel like an equal, never like a criminal, who did stupid crap, and was just another low life with a few grand cash to take. He was sincerely concerned about the punishment/deal he would negotiate on your behalf, and constantly positive, and hopeful the deal you received would produce positive change for you, and your future, not just be the deal where you got one over on the man, this time! Anyway, the fact is, Stivers is a talented Attorney, he's a good man, a caring man, a positive man, and a fair man. Qualities, and personality traits that are very rare these days in any human, and even more so in an Attorney.

The Winstead Law Group has been a great deal of help to me. I reached out to Stephanie Winstead to help me organize and protect some assets I inherited. I knew nothing about estate planning but she was able to help explain all my legal options. After lots of research and a few detailed conversations I hired her to establish a revocable living trust for me. She is unbelievably organized. I felt like she left no questions unanswered. She went over every scenario possible to make sure that I would be 100% protected. Her attention to detail, her availability to answer all my concerns and questions and her patience with my lack of legal verbiage was above and beyond that of just the average lawyer. She made sure that I was completely aware and comfortable with all the documents. She was also very scheduled and timely so that the process seemed almost effortless on my part. The final product was very well put together, in a beautiful, easy to access binder. I'm so happy I found her. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs some estate planning or legal advice/assistance. She's the very best!

Wanted to thank Meghan for graciously sharing her legal wisdom with Project Kinship and Rise Up Industries. Her knowledge and expertise on Prop 47 reclassifications has helped formerly incarcerated individuals and their families better understand the process so they can make informed decisions. Thank you Meghan for all that you do to advocate for social justice!

Winstead Law Group exceeded our high expectations. We already knew our estate plan would be in great hands, but everything was better than we imagined. Mrs. Winstead was extremely knowledgeable, experienced, easy to talk to, and detail oriented. You can tell that Stephanie loves and has pride in her work. We sleep easier at night because we know our family is better prepared and we couldn't be happier with our decision to work with the Winstead Group.
