The Law Offices of John D. Winer specializes in handling sexual abuse and harassment cases.

The firm has received exceptional results in sexual abuse and harassment cases. We have received over ten, million dollar verdicts or settlements in cases where sexual abuse and harassment was the major issue. Further, John Winer is considered a leader in the state of California in litigating sexual harassment cases. He has lectured on the subject over a dozen times, see Lectures, and he has published over 20 articles and chapters of legal text books on sexual harassment.

Mr. Winer has authored special legal articles as well as a series of frequently asked questions about Sexual Abuse Litigation. One article, entitled Proving Injuries from the Sexual Abuse of both Minors and Adults, represents a unique effort by Mr. Winer to provide consumers with a detailed description of the law as it applies to sexual abuse cases.

The law firm handles cases on a contingency fee basis, if there is no recovery, there is no fee. All consultations are free.

The law firm has on full time staff an exceptional forensic nurse, Marilyn Mason, who is able to help the lawyers sort out and litigate complex medical issues. This gives the firm a competitive advantage over almost all personal injury and malpractice firms who do not have anyone on staff with medical training. Ms. Mason is recognized as one of the national leaders in her field of legal nursing and adds a lot to the law firms ability to litigate cases with serious, yet complex medical issues.

Because of Mr. Winer's reputation in the legal community as one of the leading attorneys in California in sexual abuse and harassment cases, most of the cases handled by the law firm come from referrals from other lawyers who do not specialize in handling the sexual abuse and harassment cases in which Mr. Winer has received exceptional results. See Significant Cases page.

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."
