John L. Venza Jr.'s Lawyer Endorsements
"John Venza is an exceptional criminal defense attorney. I have known John since attending law school together in 1998. John has a brilliant mind and an outstanding work ethic. He puts everything he has into representing his clients and achieves tremendous results for them. I refer every call I get for criminal defense to John Venza."
"I endorse this lawyer. Johnny is very knowledgeable in his area of practice. He works hard for his clients to bring about the best possible result."
"Not only have I been friends with John for many years, but we were also court partners as prosecutors. John is a great criminal trial lawyer and is a skillful, aggressive advocate for his clients. I endorse and highly recommend John to anyone in need of legal representation when their liberty is at stake."
"John was a senior prosecutor in a felony district court before he left the Brazoria County District Attorney's (DA's) Office. The DA's Office only selects senior prosecutors with proven trial skills for this position. The position requires strong leadership skills and a track record of success. John is able to consult with you on what it is the DA's office is shooting for and how they go about proving a case. John is also very accurate about the law. I have worked with John on a few criminal defense matters and not once did I find that he was incorrect about the law. Finally, John is a no-nonsense, all business attorney. When he is at court for his clients, he is there to fight. John's character and reputation in the attorney community is impeccable. Prosecutors give him respect (earned respect) because of the many battles he has fought against them. Make no mistake. When you are hiring Johnny Venza to defend you, you are hiring a winner."
"I have known Mr. John L. Venza since he was an Assistant District Attorney in Brazoria County, Texas. John was then and is now passionate about the law and relentless in the pursuit of justice. John is always well prepared, ready for trial, and honest. John is well respected amongst his peers and an aggressive defender of all of his clients. My office endorses Mr. John L. Venza."
"I have known Mr. Venza for over ten years now. I have seen his work ethic in action first hand, both as a former prosecutor and also as a fellow defense attorney in Harris and Fort Bend Counties. Mr. Venza is a very zealous advocate of justice and seeks only the best dispositions for his clients. He is very well respected by his peers and the judiciary in his community. If you are in need of an aggressive defender of your rights do not hesitate to contact Mr. Venza for your legal needs."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"As a fellow attorney, I have had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Venza for over 15 years. Mr. Venza's professionalism, understanding, and compassion for his clients is second to none,. He is knowledgeable, passionate and relentless when it comes to fighting for his client's rights. He is one of the most honest and respected attorneys in our community. I fully endorse Johnny Venza."
"John Venza is a brilliant attorney and a relentless litigator. I worked with John for several years while he was a prosecutor and can speak for his performance as a criminal defense attorney. He is a skilled criminal trial lawyer and a great negotiator in the plea bargaining process. If you or a family member needs representation in a criminal matter in Fort Bend, Harris or Brazoria counties, I can not recommend John Venza strongly enough."
