Patient and Passionate

Mr. Renge was a great help in my mother's case. Due to his efforts, my mother's felony charge from 2004 was changed to a misdemeanor, which greatly assisted in my mother's immigration case. He was extremely patient with my non-English-speaking mother and was care very much about the details. He was a...lways ready and well-prepared throughout our time together.

Disturbing the Peace

I was charged with a felony for brandishing a firearm as a person that holds a CCW during a road rage incident. Jon heard my case the following morning along with the facts presented and wanted to help me fight my case. I’m a Hispanic male, age 48 at the time with no prior records. After a year of... going to court hearings on my behalf due COVID restrictions, following Jon’s legal advice, attaining body camera videos from arresting officers, gathering personal character references from various individuals, the case was brought down to a misdemeanor charge. Jon not only was able to help me keep my rights to bear arms with no felony convictions, he went above and beyond to assist me in my time of need. I’m forever grateful to him for his assistance and legal advice and I would highly recommend this attorney for any criminal defense case that you may be up against.

Very intelligent, diligent, and trustworthy...

Jon is very intelligent and compassionate about his work. He takes that extra time to learn the facts and knows where to go from there. He's Represented me on different occasions, Every time obtaining the outcome that I had hope for, for my situation. I have sent a few different clients his way and... he has represented those people with the same tenacity and diligence he showed for myself. Also, obtaining a favorable result. "He is kinda like Clark Kent on the outside but when he hits those courtroom the cap comes out". He's a very good attorney and I'd definitely retain him, if ever I needed to. Thank you Joh Renge, I appreciate u Jess C.
