Born and raised in the San Joaquin Valley, I graduated from California State University of Fresno and the University of the Pacific McGeorge School of Law. After law school, I returned home to practice law and began my career at the Fresno County Public Defender’s Office in order to gain valuable trial experience. When I left the Public Defender’s Office and decided to open my own practice, I was on the “Major Crimes Team” which consisted of attorneys that handled the most difficult criminal cases like homicides, Three Strikes cases, cases with high prison exposures, cases involving complex legal issues, cases with a voluminous amount of discovery and cases receiving media attention.
I am recognized by the California State Bar as a Certified Legal Specialist in the area of Criminal Law and certified to handle death penalty cases.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and working on the family farm growing almonds, pistachios, cherries, and raisin grapes.

Great Lawyer!
If it weren’t for Jon, I’d probably be in prison right now. When I caught my case, I had initially hired a different lawyer who had practically done nothing to help me. I decided to look for another lawyer and lots of people recommended Jon to me. I told my family about him and he responded VERY quic...
"I endorse this lawyer. I worked with Jon in the Fresno County Public Defender's Office. He was one of the best criminal defense attorneys in the office. I recommend Jon for any kind of criminal defense case."
"John is an excellent attorney. I routinely consult John when I have complicated issues I need to work through. His people skills are unparalleled. I know no one who is better at convincing a judge to agree to his clients point of view."
"I have worked with Jon countless times from simple hearings to full blown trials and he is always prepared and ready to take the good fight straight to the prosecutors. He has an excellent reputation for laywership, and I can say it is honestly well deserved. I endorse this lawyer."
"Jon Renge is truly a master criminal defense attorney and I'm proud to say that he was my mentor as I was coming up in this field. I could not think of a finer attorney to represent anyone during a time of need. I wholeheartedly endorse Mr. Renge as one of the best attorneys practicing in the state today."
"Jon is a tremendous attorney. I've personally seen him in action and we worked as co-counsel on a first degree murder case involving gang-enhancements. The preliminary hearing on the case lasted for nine days. He was exceptional !! I would not hesitate to recommend him, he is an absolute bulldog."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known John Renge almost all my life. He is smart, a great advocate for his clients and personable. He truly enjoys serving his clients."
