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!!

Best criminal lawyer in Fort Worth

I hired Mr. Renforth for a last minute shock probation for my wife. He first analyzed and research the case to make sure I wasn't wasting my time and money and kept me up to date every step of the way. He not only helped get her shock probation granted, which was a slim chance to begin with, but also... followed up after it was granted making sure she was released and home. The cost was very reasonable and from the first contact to the last he personally answered all my questions by phone or email. I hope I don't need a criminal lawyer again but if I did Mr. Renforth will be the man I'd go to.

Attentive, direct and efficient

Jim, was amazing. My case was dismissed and immediately we discussed having it expunged in a couple of years. Jim was very thorough regarding the details and outcome of the case. He was patient with me, regardless how often I messaged or called. This charge could have prevented me from seeking profe...ssional certification and forced me out of a career. Jim is the perfect attorney if you want results, as well as someone who will put in the time and effort in your defense.

Great Attorney

I hired Jim Renforth to help straighten out some trouble my daughter had gotten herself into. Jim was very professional, quick to react, very knowledgeable and determined. He answered questions and worked hard to solve the problem even after he was off the clock. He was able to get the problem so...lved and my daughter released very quickly. I would recommend Jim Renforth to anyone who needs help getting things worked out in our legal system.

Hard Working Attorney

Jim Renforth went above and beyond for me in my case. He was very patient with all my questions and would always reply to any of my calls or emails. This is a very important trait to have in your lawyer because things will and do always come up and the situation is constantly changing. He negotiated ...a great outcome for my case; working with the DA and judge in my case. If you need an attorney, I strongly suggest hiring Jim Renforth. He is, without a doubt, one of the top lawyers in Tarrant and Parker County. HIRE HIM! You will not regret it.
