Saved my life!
Back in 2012 I was traveling through nj with some of my firearms in my truck. Getting pulled over for speeding turned into a life sentence worth of mandatory minimums so fast my life fell apart. Jim Wronko fought through a 41 year plea deal to get me a 3 year probation sentence. I woke up this morning in 2021 with the family I have built with the freedom Jim won me, and I had to find a way to send something positive back.

Amazing service, amazing work ethic, true attorney , knows his stuff, I’d be in prison if not for Jim Wronko
He is an attorney who appreciates the art of being an attorney. He respects his profession. His knowledge of the law will astound you, and if your his client, he cares and makes sure that no stone goes unturned in his fight for your rights based on your case..... 5 out of 5 stars!!!!!

Best Attorney in New Jersey
Excellent lawyer who is willing to put your needs first to make sure you get the best outcome possible. I retained him as my personal attorney for a case, and I was very impressed to say the least. He was very quick to answer any questions I had and was available to reach any time I needed. Hopefully I will never need an attorney again but I highly recommend him for any situation where you may need one. I'm not 100% sure of all the types of law he practices but I can tell you...you wont be more satisfied with anyone else.
