Jim best attorney hands down!!

My son was looking at a 40 year sentence. Jim never stopped fighting for my son. Jim is professional and always stays calm. He truly cares about the person he is representing and their family. I’ve never retained an attorney that gives out the cell number! I could text Jim with any question and he w...ould respond back. Jim will keep you updated on the case and be straight forward with you. Jim also help get a seized car for me. His staff is very professional and helpful as well. I can’t thank Jim enough for helping my son and my self through this hard experience. Jim’s is the best! Thank you again Jim

Wrongful DWI

I had a irresponsible night with too much to drink and knew I shouldn’t drive, thought I was doing the most responsible thing by sleeping it off in my truck on a very hot night. Sound asleep with my truck running in the parking lot with the ac running Burleson PD gave me a DWI. A friend referred me t...o Jim and with the letter of the law not on my side calling and hiring Jim Renforth was the smartest thing I did. From our very first meeting he put my mind at ease, from explaining the process and payment options. I hired him on the spot and he went to work keeping me in the loop every step of the way via text and cellphone calls both during business hours and after hours during this very stressful time of my life. Jim is a very straight forward honest man telling me both good and bad news but assured me that he thought I had a very strong case and if I trusted him he thought we had a very good chance of winning the case. I did just that even though people around me advised me to save my money and just take probation. Jim was very professional from day one, from court appearances to jury selection although very nerve racking it went very smooth. I was acquitted of two charges one of which could have ruined my life as I know it and quite possibly cost me my job. I would highly recommend Jim Renforth no matter how bad your situation is Jim is a very good negotiator and I’m confident even if you have a situation you can’t win he will work very hard to get you the best deal possible, in my case it was most definitely a win.

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.

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!!

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.
