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!

I would like to thank Jon Renge For taking his time and meeting with me to answer all my questions..

A MOMS HERO

We were referred to Mr Renge by a family friend, we had absolutely no experience with the court system previously and did not know what to expect. Mr Renge walked us step by step through the procedures, what to expect, all the ins and outs of our case. Mr Renge was in constant communication with us, ...he was available to answer any questions at a moments notice, text, email or phone call away. Mr Renge was honest, fair and above all very professional. He fought for my sons case, always making sure we understood the proceedings and what would come next. What we appreciated most of Mr Renge is that he would tell us all the good about our case and also the bad, so we were very aware of what the outcome could be at its worst. During our entire ordeal several people would mention to us that we have a really good lawyer, not once did we hear any negative praise about him. My Family would highly recomend Mr Jon Renge.
