Very professional and very knowledgeable

Jon represented me on a felony DUI case. Aside from the legal implications, my employment and career were at stake. I needed a good outcome to stay employed and continue my way of life. Jon was easy to get in touch with, quickly scheduled a consultation and immediately began working on my case. One o...f the first things he said to me was "get yourself to rehab now, aside from the legal stuff you need to get yourself straightened out" This turned out to be the best advice he gave and probably saved my life. For a total of 14 months Jon worked on getting me the outcome I needed. When options were on the table, the number one concern was "Is this going to work for your job". He was good with the communication, explained every step and what to expect, and held nothing back as far as our chances. He had knowledge of the local court system including local Judges and DA's, their tendencies and what we could expect from them. He never failed to call exactly what they were going to say or what their position was going to be. He was very humble throughout the process, reluctant to take credit for anything positive that went our way. Thank you Jon, you were instrumental in helping me find my sobriety and putting this ordeal behind me with my life intact. I would recommend Jon Renge to anyone.

Great Attorney!

We hired Jon 2 years ago to help out with a DUI. He was so professional. He made us feel at ease as this was all brand new to us. He guided us & took care of everything. We would highly recommend him if needed!

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.

Excellent

I hired John Renge back in 2018 due to a D.U.I and from having priorities D.U.I’s I was looking at minimum to 3 to 4 years in prison I have to say he help me understand how my case was, and what I was looking at in terms of jail time, he still was able to keep me out off prison and reach a deal he... defended my case in a matter of professional manners. He is a straight forward man and humble, he is really understandable, fair person when it comes to do his job, I am satisfy on how he handled my case I will recommend John to who ever needs help finding a attorney with self respect and professional and it he will do anything on his power to to serve you right. Thank you John for all your help I really appreciate and liked how you handled my case
