About Me – James Wren, Attorney at Law
Faith-Led Legal Advocacy for Southeastern Kentucky Clients in Injury & Criminal Defense
My Ministry Through Law
With 45 years of experience practicing law, I have spent my career focused on serving the people of Southeastern Kentucky. My work in criminal defense and domestic relations has been grounded in a commitment to fairness, ethical representation, and a deep connection to the communities I serve. Over the decades, I’ve come to see this work not only as a profession but as a calling, especially when it comes to helping those in crisis or facing life-altering legal challenges.
My Legal Focus
While Kentucky does not recognize specialties in the practice of law:
I concentrate my practice in the areas of criminal defense and domestic relations, and
I concentrate my practice in supporting faith-based ministries in Southeastern Kentucky.

Winning the Right Way
No One Ever Hired an Attorney to Lose a Case.
If your attorney is not focused on winning, then you need another attorney!
I am focused on winning. I am not promising I will always win, but I always exercise my best efforts to win.
But by winning, I mean that I am acting ethically and equitably.

Your attorney must be winning fairly. If your current attorney:
(1) Is manipulating a special advantage he/she has with the judge;
(2) Is dishonest with the court; or
(3) Is dishonest with the opposing party.
He/she will manipulate you and/or be dishonest with you. You need another lawyer.
“Releasing people from bars and chains is my ministry.”
