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

Just plain sad

I came to John for my divorce from my husband. I met with him twice for a total of one hour. We never got into details pertaining my case. He did reply to a summons I had, that was it! Me and my husband decided to agree on everything and drawled up papers with his lawyer. Before I had the chance ...to talk with John, he called me and left two rude messages stating that "I was in the wrong for not consulting him first,and that me and my husbands agreement was null and void because he wasn't involved (btw its preceding just fine), and also that he didn't know what me and my husband was up to!" Well last time I checked he worked for me!! I never been divorced and didn't know the correct protocol for lawyer etiquette, but I thought this was my divorce to handle as I see fit, and also last time I checked its not illegal to change my mind during a divorce! (Actually quite common). He has now delayed my divorce, stressed me out during this rough time in my life, and is taking ME to court to get $5k when he didn't do $5k worth of work. Now mind you I don't have a problem giving him $500, because that is worth the time he put in my case. Honestly he is not even worth a dollar! I guess he is so money hungry or either broke being he has put more energy against me then he did for my case. He is a rude, harassing attorney that should retire,. I warned you.

I've known Mr. Ramsey for more than several years and he is a man of his word. He is caring person and he is a good person and great lawyer. He is very knowledgeable of the law and yes, he will keep you up to date with whatever case he is working on your behalf. I highly recommend Mr. Ramsey to an...yone who needs legal advice or to take care of legal matters. I will stand by Mr. Ramsey at any time.
