"Elite criminal defense in DFW"

As the result of some poor decision making and circumstances I found myself on the wrong side of the law. I took immediate action to rectify the situation and then contacted Jim to help me sort out the legal aspects. He and his team were fantastic through the process. They kept me well informed of wh...at was going on and most importantly they achieved a positive outcome on my behalf. Solid representation, If I should ever require assistance again, I know exactly who I will call.

Got The Result I Wanted

Jim made a great first impression. He was down to earth and straight forward. My 17-year-old nephew was charged with felony assault. Although video evidence proved this to be untrue, Jim's professionalism put my family at ease and quite possibly saved my nephew's future. From the beginning, Jim... told me that he wanted the case dismissed, and that was the result. He always answered my calls and kept me in the loop about the status of the case. I hope I never need the services of a criminal attorney again, but if I do, I'll be hiring Jim Renforth.

DWI

Working with Jim Renforth during my DWI court process was so easy. Jim walked me though the whole process, told me the cost up front. Explained to me the classes and steps needed to be taken prior to court - which helped in my reduced sentence. Should I ever need a lawyer again, I will use him aga...in.

Mr. Renforth saved my grandson's future.

Mr Renforth was retained for my grandson after a DUI arrest during a visit to see his mother coming from from Colorado. My grandson was stopped by an Azle officer on what appears to be suspect probable cause. After completing the field sobriety tests shown on dash cam video he was arrested anyway. Fa...mily in Colorado and Nevada suffered through 3 postponements over a year and a half. The Tarrant County DA was not able to produce the Police Officer as he had left Texas and law enforcement. Finally Mr Renforth suggested demanding a jury trial. I traveled 3000 miles to bring my grandson to Ft Worth for trial. As he expected the former officer would not show from out of state and the charges were dismissed. 2 years of grief finally over.

Dismissal DWI

Jim was very pleasant to consult with during a difficult time during which I was charged with a DWI. Phone calls and texts were returned in a timely manner. During discussions about my case I felt encouraged and that he was sincerely working for the best possible outcome. The cost was communicated ...to me upfront and it never changed. The case did take 2 years, but the outcome for dismissal was sure worth the wait. I Highly recommend Jim Renforth. Great Job!!
