Excellent Law Man

Hi. I had a multiple-felony domestic violence case. My particular case included the confiscation of my vast fire-arm collection. I consulted many criminal attorneys, including some hi-profile lawyers. Each one of them advised me of irreparable damage, including a lengthy jail/prison sentence. I st...opped searching after consulting with Mr. Renge. Based on my initial consultation, I retained Mr. Renge solely of his personal determination, positive disposition, and 25+ years of practicing criminal law in one of California's worst crime rate capitals. Please understand that experience is paramount in the field of law. I will also state that I am fairly sure that this man has seen it all here in Fresno/Madera! Well, as to summarize, this retention was perhaps in fact one of the best decisions I have made to date. My case settled for a "dropped case" upon completion of a DV class. As-in like nothing ever happened.. I walk away undamaged, and without the loss of my gun collection and or 2nd Amendment rights.. Wow.

Five Stars!

Jon Renge is awesome! We hired Attorney Renge for my husband who was looking at three felonies. From day one, Attorney Renge was both professional and personable. He spent all the time needed, by phone and in person, answering all our questions and concerns and making sure we understood everything fu...lly. Our outcome was better than we could have hoped for! Attorney Renge truly cares about his clients and his representation is proof of it. I highly recommend Jon Renge!

Amazing Attorney

I was looking for a lawyer regarding a felony case when I found out about Mr. Renge. We set up a meeting at his office went through what happened and what my choices were. Mr. Renge gave me advice how to proceed and we went from them. I was looking at up to 3 years jail time. At the time I wasn’t ver...y optimistic however Mr. Renge assured me that he would do his best so I would not have to serve any jail time and reduce my felony charge. My case carried on for about a year. We came to a agreement with the court that I would not serve any jail time and my felony charge be reduced to a misdemeanor with the condition that I complete 20 hours of community service and that I stay out of trouble for a year. I completed my community service hours and went back to court a year later. Mr. Renge appeared on my behalf and my felony charge was reduced to a misdemeanor. I am grateful for Mr. Renge he’s definitely one of the best!

I recently had a case with Mr Renge regarding dui charges against me. My Renge represented me in the matter. I was hoping to get it reduce to a “wet and reckless”. But he researched the case and talked to me about the options of the outcome. His experience and professionalism was amazing. He worked ...my case so intelligently that after he took the case for trial .. it never made it to trial. He got my case to get dismissed. I highly recommend Mr Renge. He’s one of the most experienced attorneys. Thank you for the best outcome anyone can get.
