He has authored several chapters in legal publications, including most recently a chapter entitled “War Stories: The Oral Tradition of the Trial Bar,” Medical Malpractice in New York, Bob Devine, Ed.

Admitted to the Bar in 1981, David concentrates his practice in the areas of medical malpractice, personal injury, birth injuries, and wrongful death. He has successfully represented clients suffering from serious and catastrophic injuries on many occasions, holding negligent parties legally responsible for all damages caused by their actions. Some of the case types David has tried over his career include obstetrical malpractice, delayed diagnosis of cancer, wrongful death due to medical negligence, and surgical errors.

Born in the Bronx, David graduated from High School in Great Neck, New York and obtained a Bachelor’s degree from Boston University, graduating with honors. He earned a Juris Doctor degree in 1980 from New York Law School, where he was a member of the moot court executive board and co-chair of the national Robert F.

I cannot say enough about Rich and his staff. Everyone was more than accommodating from day one. You are treated like you matter, and not just another case for their firm. Rich offers advice every step of the way to get the most out of your case while still letting YOU choose which options are best. Coming from someone who has dealt with other attorneys, none compare to Mr. Winkler. His knowledge, and attitude are second to none. I would recommend Rich to anyone with an accident case. Believe me, you are in good hands. Thank you Rich and staff. Could not have asked for more!!

To Whom It May Concern, I’m a union painter and was badly hurt when I was involved in a workplace accident on a job site in Manhattan. I hired Richard Winkler to represent me and they have been great. He and his staff keep me informed and are making sure that I can continue to be able to feed my family and to keep everything going, they are on my side no doubt about it. Needless to say this didn’t go unnoticed to my family. Visiting the office was always a positive experience both welcoming and professional. I would recommend this firm to anyone in need of caring compassionate legal representation.

- Elissa Rand

The experience that I got from Richard Winkler was absolutely the best, In the beginning I was hesitant because you hear of bad stories about attorneys, but the turning point for me was when the most amazing, caring, person sat down and explained everything to me Mr. Winkler’s paralegal Dana Randazzo. This team answered all my phone calls handled all my paperwork in a quick manner there were never any surprises and they were on top of everything with the insurance companies and anything else associated to my case I highly recommend this law firm to anyone you will not be disappointed and I just wanted to say thank you for all that you have done for me Mr Winkler!
