Areas of Practice
-
You were hurt because someone else was careless. Whether it happened on the road, at work, or on someone else's property, our attorneys investigate every angle and pursue full compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
-
Navigating divorce and family matters takes more than legal knowledge — it takes compassion. Our attorneys take a professional, assertive approach while working to protect your interests at every step, handling divorce, child custody and support, equitable distribution, spousal support, and orders of protection throughout Long Island.
-
Divorce doesn't have to mean a courtroom battle. Our trained mediators work with both parties as neutral guides, helping you reach a full resolution and obtain your Judgment of Divorce without ever appearing before a judge — saving time, money, and emotional strain.
-
A rear-end collision on the LIE. A T-bone crash at a Suffolk County intersection. Car accidents leave you dealing with injuries, insurance adjusters, and missed work all at once. We handle the legal fight so you can focus on getting better.
-
Commercial truck crashes cause catastrophic injuries. Federal regulations, black box data, and multiple liable parties make these cases complex. Our team knows how to build truck accident claims that hold carriers and drivers accountable.
-
A missed diagnosis, a surgical error, a medication mistake. When a healthcare provider's negligence causes harm, you deserve an attorney who understands the medical evidence and can retain the right experts to prove your case.
-
Losing a family member to someone else's negligence is devastating. New York law allows surviving family members to seek compensation for funeral expenses, lost income, and the loss of companionship. We handle these cases with the care your family deserves.
-
Long Island's construction industry is booming, and so are jobsite injuries. Falls from scaffolds, falling objects, and equipment malfunctions are preventable. New York Labor Law Sections 240 and 241 protect injured workers, and we know how to use them.

WHY CHOOSE US
Choosing the right attorney is one of the most important decisions you'll make. Here's why Long Islanders have trusted Winkler Kurtz LLP for over 35 years.
We're a BBB A+ Accredited law firm, licensed in New York and focused on what matters most to our clients — personal injury, medical malpractice, divorce and family law, and matrimonial mediation. Rather than spreading thin across dozens of unrelated areas, our attorneys go deep in the practices that affect real families on Long Island.
Five of our attorneys have earned Super Lawyers recognition — a distinction awarded to fewer than 5% of attorneys in the New York Metro area. Founding partner Richard Winkler has held that honor every year since 2013. Partner James Winkler carries the AV Preeminent rating from Martindale-Hubbell, the highest mark achievable for legal skill and ethical standards.
Whether you've been injured in an accident, are facing a difficult divorce, or need a trusted mediator to resolve your case without court, you're getting a team that has spent decades doing this well.
Long Island has its own legal landscape — and we know it inside and out.
On the roads, Route 112, the LIE, and the Northern State Parkway see some of the highest accident rates in the Northeast, spiking during summer beach traffic and holiday weekends. Active construction across Suffolk County adds risk for workers and drivers year-round. When injuries happen, cases move through Suffolk County Supreme Court or Nassau County Supreme Court. Our personal injury attorneys know these courtrooms, these judges, and these insurance companies.
Away from the roads, Long Island families face divorce, child custody disputes, and the need for compassionate mediation that keeps matters out of court when possible. And when a medical provider's negligence causes harm, our malpractice attorneys know how to build the case and fight for accountability.
Wherever your legal matter falls, our team responds fast, communicates clearly, and never charges a fee unless we win.
