Jon Renge - Selma

Jon is a great lawyer, from the day my father and I met him. We laid out the details to him on the case, he set a goal for my fathers case. Not to long ago my fathers case was settled and with the goal accomplished. Jon is great guy, he's great with clients nothing but respect for the man and his ser...vices. Highly recommend him for anyone in need of a lawyer.

Jon Renge -Fresno

I was referred to Mr. Renge by a coworker. I needed an attorney for a court matter that was just a few days away. Mr. Renge accommodated my work schedule and met me at my employment during my lunch hour. He advised me of my rights and his advice on how I should proceed. I was very worried of a possi...ble probation term and court fees. Mr. Renge reassured me that he would fight for my best interests. The day of the court hearing Mr. Renge appeared on my behalf so I wouldn't have to miss work. This was such a relief for I hadn't asked for time off. Soon after 10:00 a.m. He contacted me to to advise me that the was able to get my case dismissed with no fines! I am so grateful to my attorney!

Terrific Defense Attorney

At our first meeting, Mr. Renge explained my situation carefully. He detailed all the possible charges, and then laid out the probable outcomes for each charge. He underscored that the actual result depended on many factors, the DA, the judge, etc., and that no outcome could be guaranteed. Throu...ghout it all, he kept close contact with me, even though I’m in Alameda County and he is in Fresno. He was always very courteous and accommodating. Everything he said has turned out to be accurate. Thanks to his skill, I’m getting the best possible result the law will allow. I recommend him highly, without any reservation, to anyone who needs a defense lawyer.

Excellent Attorney

I have used Jon twice with family members. The first case was looking at ten years he got it down to six months. The second case had wrong information and lucky we had Jon or else my family member would have recieved 3 stricks. My family member was out of jail in a few months. Jon is reliable, respec...tful and cares about all of his cases. I highly recommend Jon to anyone looking for a criminal lawyer. I have also called & texted Jon with many questions at all hours of the day and Jon answered everytime. I am very lucky to have found a great lawyer that really cares. Thank you Jon!
