If you are looking for serious criminal defense, look no further than Jim Ventura.
I met Jim after I was arrested and charged with illegal possession of firearms and illegal distribution of explosives.
Since I had prior federal convictions for both of those things, I was looking at the prospect of dying in federal prison.
By far, the gun charges were the most serious as they would have mandated a prison sentence of 10 years or more.
Somehow, Mr. Ventura got the gun charges dropped. This is simply unheard of. And I was not caught with my grandfather's .22 rifle and 50 rounds of ammo.
I was found in possession of numerous guns, (again) including an assault rifle (again) and almost 10,000 rounds of ammunition (again).
Given these facts, and my criminal history, Harry Houdini could not have made those gun charges disappear but somehow Mr. Ventura did the impossible.
Not only did he clear me of significant mandatory prison time for the guns, he got the prosecutor to recommend a greatly reduced sentence on the explosives charges!
In the end, I was sent to a cupcake low security federal prison for 18 months, instead of Gladiator School in a US Penitentiary, where almost everyone goes when convicted of explosives violations.
In short, Mr. Ventura SAVED MY LIFE and I will be forever grateful to him.

In my opinion Jim Ventura was the worst attorney I have ever worked with and he was very incompetent at times. I would not use Jim Ventura to fight a J-walking ticket.

Working with Jim was a good experience. He was positive and very good at explaining the situation and the possible outcomes. He would tell some relatable stories that helps a person feel better, and also reminds you in a good way to make better decisions and the more severe consequences if what happened, were to happen again. I would highly recommend Jim because of his character and attitude and the wealth of knowledge he has.
