He’s super aggressive in his defense of his clients very straight forward and tell it how it is. He was willing to work with ...me financially and was always a phone call away.

Excellent Representation

Jon was honest with me from the beginning, and made sure I knew what was going on. He always made time to get back to me, and answer my questions. It is apparent that he is very knowledgeable and professional, but what really impressed me was the work ethic he demonstrated. He's a good man to have... on your side, if you need a criminal defense lawyer, I highly recommend him.

Jon Renge-Kings County

I was referred to Jon Renge by lawyers that wouldn’t touch my case for any price!!! The lawyers my union recommended wouldn’t take the case because it was in dreaded Kings County! Jon Renge did!!! Jon Renge met with me the same day! I was charged with 2 felonies and was on my way to losing everything... I had worked so hard for including my freedom! Jon reviewed my case and explained the strategy for victory! Jon Renge never flinched! He had complete confidence that we would win this case as long as I stuck to his game plan! He went into great detail on his plan and answered any and all my questions! I did everything he told me to do and he fought for me at every court hearing! he was always just a phone call away! Jon Renge was always prepared for battle and at the end of this war between us and Kings County! Jon Renge got me a dismissal! Kings County dropped all the charges and let me go on with my life thanks to Jon Renge!!! You can’t put a price on that! He was worth every penny! He is battle proven! He has tons of experience and will fight for you until the very end! He will find a way to win! I hope to never need his services again but if I do I will hire him again!
