One of the best indications of experience is membership in trial academies. The American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA) is the nation's premier trial academy.

Membership is by invitation only. A minimum of twenty jury trials (first chair) or ten jury trials and the equivalent bench trial experience is required. Further, all trials must be listed. Finally, each application is screened by and voted upon by the local chapter and the National Board of Directors.

Donald J. Winder is a proud member of ABOTA. He has served as part Utah Chapter President (1998 & 1999), served in 2002 on the National Board of Directors as a Presidential Appointee, and is again on the national Board of Directors (2005-current).

Another good indication of experience is membership in the National Board of Trial Advocates. Donald J. Winder is the only attorney in Utah to be a Civil Trial Diplomate.

Best Lawyers in America About Our Law Firm

Another great indication of experience is the publication Best Lawyers in America. Donald J. Winder and David J. Weissman have been selected for inclusion in the Best Lawyers in America. Best Lawyers has come to be regarded by both the legal profession and the public as the definitive guide to legal excellence in the United States.

Because Best Lawyers is based on on an exhaustive peer-review survey in which 15,000 leading attorneys throughout the country confidentially cast more than half a million "votes" on the legal abilities of other lawyers in their specialties, inclusion in Best Lawyers should be, and is, considered a singular honor.

Because lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed, Best Lawyers has gained the respect of the legal profession, the media and clients as the most reliable, unbiased source of legal referrals anywhere. Less than 2% of the lawyers in Utah have been selected for this honor.
