Hello, my name is Tim Rensch. I’ve been a lawyer for 24 years. My father in this very town was a lawyer for 50 years before that. As a lawyer, I view myself as your champion, as your protector, as your advisor, and as your guide. My firm has helped thousands of people through the most serious and dangerous portions of their lives by helping with good, sound, legal advice. This firm has handled cases from the most serious down to the sublime. We’ve handled murder cases, won those at jury trial, handled drug possession cases, rape cases, felony cases, right down to drunk driving misdemeanors and won many cases at trial. The reason that you need an experienced trial attorney is so you can see if you can get the best resolution possible. If you have an experienced lawyer who gets in the ring and fights for you, the prosecutors are going to listen more to him. It’s not just about the kind of lawyer that will try the case, but it’s about the kind of lawyer who can negotiate a favorable resolution for you. And a lawyer who’s gone into the ring and fought many battles gets better results for his clients than lawyers who don’t do that. There are times when you can’t get something worked out and you have to stand and fight. And when you have to do that, you need a lawyer who’s been there. You need a lawyer who knows the lay of the land, a lawyer who knows the ring. And I know that ring, and I can fight for you. And here at Rensch Law, we would like to use all of that experience to help you maybe make the situation go away, maybe make the situation better, or maybe, just have to fight them if that’s necessary. If you’re considering a lawyer, please think of giving us a call and we’ll do our best to help you out.

[Postscript]: Each case is different and rises or falls on its own merits. Nothing herein is to be construed as a guarantee, prediction, or warranty of success in your case, and past success is not an assurance of future success. For all of the victories of Rensch Law, there have been defeats.

I needed only to drop off a DVD for a case he's defending in my county, but overall I'd still say it was an all-round pleasant experience.

I highly recommend Rensch Law practice to help anyone navigate any potential criminal legal issue. My adult son had a mental health crisis and some driving and possession decisions were made in his time of crisis. Rensch Law walked through the entire process with my son, his wife, and I as we got my son medical care, mental health care, and addressed the causes so we could help my son deal with consequences as well as prepare to get healing help so his legal issues wouldn’t derail his future. The mutual respect other court members had for Rensch Law was reassuring and made our journey more successful than it might have otherwise been. This is a 5+ star law office ♥️
