Mr. Renge will deliver positive results!

We were blessed to have Mr. Renge as our attorney! He was very patient with us and the thousand questions we had and gave us answers to every single one. He was easy to get in touch with and kept clear open communication with us at all times. Mr.Renge went above and beyond to help us anyway he could ...and we are forever grateful for his expertise and prompt action. This man is heaven sent and will get the job done!

Amazing Help

Jon helped so much with regards to my case. He was professional and timely, and was there when I needed help the most. I would recommend him to my friends and family. He even helped me find a disability lawyer to help with my disability case! Jon genuinely cares about his clients. Five stars all arou...nd!

Thankful

After hiring Mr. Renge, I now truly understand how important an experienced attorney is. I was referred to Jon by another attorney friend of mine and I cannot believe how thorough and intelligent he turned out to be. It was mind blowing seeing how fully Jon can see and understand the big picture of ...an event and sift through the "evidence" to find the truth. This man is VERY well spoken and although I knew his strategy, he was actually doing much more for me than he even let on so as not to overwhelm me with the details. When I tell you you can trust this man with your life, I truly mean it. He SHOWED UP in court and REALLY knows his stuff. You can tell he is respected by his peers for his diligence, preparation, and understanding. Jon Renge is top notch at a fair price. Do not pass on him. I don't believe I could have found a better lawyer and I spoke to a few before I received the referral. Best decision I ever made. To Jon: Thank you so much for your dedication and respect. Your keen eye and sensibility are unmatched. I truly appreciate you taking my case and I am still amazed by your talent. Thanks again.

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!
