Experienced and professional

Mr Renner, and his staff, were very courteous and professional. Mr Renner listened to my concerns and needs, and fully implemented them. I was able to return within a few days to sign and pick-up my documents. The fee was quite reasonable as well. I recommend Mr Renner's expertise and service.

Estate Planning

Mr. Renner was very helpful and answered all my questions and concerns. And he is very easy to talk to. I would gladly recommend him to other folks who might need legal help especially estate planning.

Will and Trust

Attorney Renner was professional and made sure our needs were met in the wording of our Will and Trust.

Physician Assistant

For years I had put off making a will and estate planning. I made a decision to contact Mr Renner, and after doing so I wondered why I had waited so long. I found him to be down to earth, straightforward, he gave good and practical advise, was prompt, and professional . His office is easy to find... and the office staff could not have been nicer.

Posted by George | August 10, 2018 | Hired Attorney

Very Professional

Mr. Renner was very helpful and professional during a trying time with my father. I have not had much interaction with Attorney's, so I was very cautious when I needed an Attorney. Mr. Renner and Colleen were very helpful and accommodating to our needs, and continued to be even after our business was... concluded. I would highly recommend Mr. Renner's services

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
