This attorney is smart and tough and will return your calls

I met with Mr. Venie after hours and he took my case and immediately began working on it. I was able to reach Mr. Venie easily by phone. He worked very hard on my case and got a very favorable result. He was nice to me and understood that I was going through the worst time in my life. He listened... to what I said and I always felt that I had input in my own case. He respected my choices and always updated me whenever anything happened on the case. The judges seemed to like him and definitely respected him. He made very sharp arguments that almost always won the day/hearing. I would recommend him to anyone with a personal legal problem

Posted by Robert | April 06, 2015 | Criminal Defense

He REALLY cared and REALLY FOUGHT for me.

I was FALSELY accused of one of the worst crimes that you can be accused of. Nobody believed me. I was going to be sent to prison for the rest of my life and Chip Venie saved me. I am out of custody and working and ALL CHARGES WERE DROPPED! Chip Venie is smart and he really cares. On top of th...at, he is fearless, he will stand up to the judge, the prosecutor and anyone else that stands in the way.
