Mr. Winocur specializes in the defense of white collar and economic crimes for both corporate and individual clients spanning a broad range of industries. He has successfully defended clients at all stages of the investigative and enforcement process, through all manner of criminal, regulatory, and civil actions including securities violations, financial fraud, healthcare fraud, mail and wire fraud, environmental crimes, consumer protection violations, public corruption, and antitrust violations. While he is increasingly called upon by general counsel or special committees of boards of directors to lead a company through both internal and external investigations, his niche practice is as counsel for individual officers and executives whose alleged conduct is at the center of an inquiry. He has defended matters brought by the Colorado Division of Securities, Colorado Attorney General, Economic Crime Units of numerous District Attorneys’ Offices, the Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Inspector General (OIG), Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), Federal Trade Commission (FTC), DOJ Antitrust Division, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Health and Human Services (HHS), Federal Election Commission (FEC), Homeland Security (DHS), and United States Attorney’s Offices in Colorado, Wyoming, California, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Virginia, New York, Chicago and Washington D.C.

His practice combines white collar defense with general criminal defense, where he is routinely retained to defend complex & high-stakes cases across the country, for clients who are often visible members of their respective business, philanthropic and political communities. He earned his reputation by winning challenging defense verdicts in over 50 jury trials. He is best known for persistently achieving extraordinary results for his clients, with an unprecedented track record of attaining either complete dismissal of all charges or avoiding indictment at the outset.
