Posted by alvin | February 24, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Drug Crime

very good great even

I had a criminal case that had been going on for a few years Mr renken was my second attorney the judge was already a little aggravated with me because of the time it took for me to hire a lawyer. Mr renken was very patient with me, he actually seemed to care about my situation and he patiently wait...ed on me to receive my taxes on just my word , I was almost positive I was going to have to do some time, but he fought for my freedom knowing I have kids at home that needed their daddy he also gave me the inspiration and incintives I needed to stop smoking marijuana so I am now living a sober life and feeling better every day I would recommend him to anyone who wants to be represented the right way in a heardbeat ..
