Criminal defense lawyer | Sep 27

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"While I have known Mr. Venneman personally for more than a decade and would be honored to attest to his character as an individual, I think it is far more important to speak from my standpoint as a criminal defense attorney dealing with him in his former capacity as a prosecuting attorney. Over the course of representing hundreds, if not thousands, of criminal defendants, I oftentimes dealt with prosecutors who were more intent on obtaining convictions than justice. Mr. Venneman, however, was always incredibly fair, honest, and professional, and it is encouraging for the entire criminal defense bar to have such an individual now fighting relentlessly for the justice of criminal defendants. Mr. Venneman has the entire package - knowledge, skill, work ethic, and compassion - that so few other criminal defense lawyers have, and this explains how he has such a great record of results for and satisfaction by his clients."

Avvo Rating

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.
