Report
Jeffrey Gindin is an excellent criminal defence lawyer in the city of Winnipeg. He looked after my matter with complete professionalism and care. We ended up going to trial and Mr. Gindin was able to articulate the important points of my case to the judge. In the end I was acquitted and could not be happier with the representation I received. Thanks again Mr. Gindin!

WARNING! I think most of these reviews are totally fake. "Matt Smith" has only reviewed Ontario companies but also happens to have used a Winnipeg criminal lawyer? I think that is unlikely. "Antonia Wenzel" positively reviewed a criminal firm in Ottawa (it seems odd she would also need a criminal lawyer in Winnipeg) and a cleaning service in Toronto named Scrubbi.

I think this lawyer is hiring a company to write fake reviews to try and boost his ratings.
