Top lawyer

Mistakes happen and I was in need of a criminal lawyer, I reached out to a lot of lawyers doing my due diligence. Came across John Renge and I knew he was the man for the job. 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. Constantly checking in on me and eventually resolved my case just the way I had dreamed of. Highly recommend John and if you want to beat your case he’s the man.

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.

Great PD

Mr Renge was a very motivated public defender i have had my share of bad public defenders who dont even know your name or even case. He is very serious about what he does just by the way he presented himself to me and knew all the details to my case. I recommend Jon Renge to anyone who doesnt know th...e law and who is seeking great assistance.

Extremely satisfied

Mr. Renge was referred to my through a family member that once worked with him in the Public Defenders office well over 18 years ago so I knew he had years of experience with criminal defense, I hired Mr. Renge as my sons defense attorney and during that time I was very afraid at 18 years old my son...s first ever involvement with any criminal activity and encounters with the law he initially was arrested with three charges all felonies and all strikes and possibly looking at 20+ years if found guilty on all charges well it was a lengthy and very exhausting process but in the end my son was convicted of one charge that resulted in a 3 year sentence. I can say I am very much satisfied with Jon Renge’s representation he always showed the concern for my sons future he was always professional and empathetic towards all of us concerned with the case and I could always contact him whenever I needed to with any questions or concerns. I give Jon Renge 5 stars for his time, commitment, no nonsense, compassionate and professionalism he showed during the court proceedings and even after the sentencing. I would definitely recommend Mr. Renge if you’re looking for and are in need of a criminal defense attorney.
