About Winters & Banks

Why I Do This Work

I'm a veteran attorney with over 30 years of legal experience, and I fight for my clients. I care deeply about every case I take on, and as a boutique firm we deliver first-class service from the first phone call to the final resolution. The injured workers I represent aren't case numbers — they're people whose families depend on benefits being paid on time and disputes being decided fairly.

I was admitted to the California Bar in 1995, and since 2011 I have focused my practice exclusively on workers' compensation. That focus is intentional: California's system is dense, constantly evolving, and heavily shaped by insurer playbooks that most workers — and many general-practice attorneys — never see from the inside. Concentrating on this one area is what lets me recognize those moves at every stage and counter them on behalf of the people I represent. Winters & Banks itself has been representing injured California workers since 1989.

My Practice Focus

I handle workers' compensation claims exclusively. My cases typically involve:

• Serious orthopedic injuries (back, spine, knee, shoulder)
• Cumulative trauma and repetitive stress injuries
• Denied or delayed claims
• Permanent disability disputes
• QME and AME process disputes
• Retaliation and wrongful termination related to filing a claim (Labor Code §132a)

Whatever the injury, the goal is the same: maximum benefits, full medical care, and a result that lets you move forward.

Credentials

I'm an active member of the California Applicants' Attorneys Association (CAAA) and the Orange County Bar Association.

Community Involvement

Based in Orange County, I serve injured workers across Anaheim, Santa Ana, Garden Grove, and the surrounding cities — in English and Spanish. When you call our firm, you reach me directly, not an intake mill.
