James M. Ventura

I highly recommend Mr. Ventura for anyone needing solid representation. He really went above and beyond fighting my fleeing charge & other charges and even got my car back, which was amazing. Beyond just handling my case, he pushed me to get my life on track and set myself up for success. He’s straight up, doesn't sugarcoat things and gave me advice I needed to hear, almost like a parent would. Honestly, I appreciate how real and supportive he was through the entire process. If you want someone who genuinely cares and gets results, he’s your guy.

James Ventura is amazing at his job! James has great communication and follows up regularly, answered all my questions with a clear up front message. After the final court date awaiting the decision. Jim and I got to know each other on a personal level, family, friends and life in general. It’s like the saying, “Work hard Play hard”. Hands down James Ventura is a great person, let him do his job!!! Thank you again!!! Jim Ventura

It is clear to me that Mr. Ventura was the right attorney to represent me after my DWI arrest. During our initial conversation he was very thorough and provided me with excellent information on how to proceed. There was absolutely no pressure put on me to select him as my attorney, just thoughtful listening, and advice. In representing me, Mr. Ventura demonstrated a vast understanding of the DWI laws in Minnesota. His 30 plus years of experience as a lawyer and his involvement in shaping legal decisions concerning Minnesota DWI law allowed for the sound management of my case. His counsel minimized the consequences of my arrest and allowed me to make educated decisions that shaped the timelines of when and how my case proceeded. I am extremely grateful for his counsel.

Mr. Ventura is a very good lawyer. He is very knowledgeable about the law and the court process. He is an excellent communicator so one knows the status of their case at all times. Mr. Ventura is also a warm, compassionate and kind person so the legal process seems doable and more humane.

If you're 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 dying in federal prison. The gun charges were the most serious as they would have mandated a prison sentence of 10 years. Somehow, Mr. Ventura got the gun charges dropped. This is simply unheard of. 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 for the explosives charges! Mr. Ventura SAVED MY LIFE and I will be forever grateful to him.

Hiring James Ventura was the best decision I made and worth every dime. Not only was he informative with a wealth of experience but had so much understanding and compassion for my case. He was recommended to me by a friend and I would recommend him to anyone in need of legal support. His kind demeanor made me feel confident and calm in the stressful situation of potential charges. I am beyond grateful for the outcome of my case and have James Ventura to thank!!

Easy to work with, and knows what he is doing. If the occasion arises, I will use him again. I recommend him.

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.

Had to hire Mr. Ventura remotely as my case was in Minnesota and I reside in California. We communicated via phone, email, text and Zoom. He was very knowledgable, compassionate, organized and good at explaining his approach to my case. We appeared via Zoom in the hearing and we won. I highly reccommend Mr. Ventura and am very glad I selected him to represent me.

Makes you feel like you are his only client. Works very hard for his money.
