John Ramsey is not a good lawyer he can't across very pleasant at first & quickly became very easily irritable not speaking to his client nor the client's representative nor persons that paid out finances to help the client. He only got one offer by the States Attorney & expected the family of the cl...ient to do the leg work & find witnesses to do depositions. He spoke rudely, used foul language & did not help his client in any manner that should have taken the amount of money that he required. If anyone chooses him as their future representative they are making a terrible mistake. He really needs to retire & give up his day job. I am entitled to my personal opinion like anyone else.

Hopefully my review would save someone the headache. Mr. Ramsey comes across as very pleasant, but he has another side. While incarcerated, I hired him to represent me in 2 cases. The first day I was arrested my family took him the money to represent me. After not speaking with him in over 30 days an...d call being declined, I had my bondsman do a 3 way call. He did not answer, but returned the call within 5 mins. My bondsman explained my frustration and Mr. Ramsey got upset. He proceeded with calling the association and having my bondsman’s calls blocked from the jail house. He also called my Children’s father and told him that he believed my bondsman and I were having relations. He then decided to send me a letter in the mail stating he was withdrawing from one of my cases. I ended up spending way more time in jail because of him not communicating and his unprofessionalism. After almost 4 months in jail, I fired him. I got another attorney and was free at my next court date. His reputation is horrible. It was shocking to hear about all the bad experiences the inmates had with him. I’m shocked that he’s still able to practice after so many complaints. Beware

Good Lawyer

He helped me when no one else would. I appreciate that he was always honest with me and would hire him again.

Thanks John

I was facing two 3rd Degree Felonies. John helped me get a reasonable bond, he hung in there for me and the entire case got dropped. Worth the money I paid him.

Thanks John

John helped me get the case dropped. Thanks for offering me a payment plan I could afford. I will definitely refer others to him.
