Didn't represent my wife properly!

I hired him to represent my wife charged with probation violation, pi, possession of marijuana! He told her she would have to do time. He was terrible in court! He didn't have his defense together! He didn't ask for a continuance so he could finish gathering information! He acted as if it was not imp...ortant! He didn't visit my wife when she was in jail or contact me before or after the trial!

Excellent!

I highly recommend Mr Razumich as he was very knowledgeable in helping me resolve my issue. I have used him twice now would use him again in the future if ever needed. Reasonable rates, professional and gets the job done.

Amazing Attorney helped me stand up against corruption

I contacted John Razumich after having been arrested for "Disorderly Conduct" for not voluntarily exiting my vehicle when an officer requested to tow it illegally from a private parking lot after a traffic stop for expired tags. In a situation where I was stopped out of state, have no prior arrests, ...tried standing up for myself, I had my civil liberties violated by several Wayne County Indiana Sheriff's Deputies who destroyed my personal video of the incident, treated me with complete disrespect, including making verbal comments concerning my marital status (single), using excessive force causing physical harm to my body (while I was not physically resistant at any point), ignoring local laws which were cited to the officers. Once in custody, several additional rights were violated of mine, including: Not permitted to call an attorney, even though I asked more than once; not permitted to make a phone call; given medical request forms in Spanish instead of English; etc. As a result of not being able to make any outgoing phone calls, I lost my job due to not being able to call off work. When I contacted Mr. Razumich, I had very few resources and less than 2 weeks before my court date. John was amazing! He took the time to really listen to me and processed my case, even though it was out-of-county. He worked with me on an affordable solution to my payment plan. I didn't feel comfort trusting local representation due to the misconduct of the officers involved in my case. John was a breath of fresh air! Without his help, there would not have been a light at the end of my tunnel. He refused to be bullied by the "backwoods brotherhood" in Wayne County and provided me the representation I needed. I would definitely recommend John Razumich to anyone who is deserving of a good defense!

Very knowledgable and professional!

I contacted John after facing underage drinking charges in the summer of 2015. Being from out of state, I was very concerned with how difficult the process was going to be. John was very timely and thorough throughout every email and phone call. I was able to have all of my charges dismissed and eve...ntually expunged from my record. Choosing John to represent me was the best decision I have ever made and I will not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who is in need of legal help.

Awesome!

Me and my friend got a public intoxication and disorderly conduct and we didn't know what to do. Especially for me cause I'm just a J1 holder and I'm new here in the united state. Then we got john razumich as our lawyer and told him about our situation and he told us not to worry cause he's gonna han...dle it. And he did! My friend only got a 12 hours AA class and I got 24 hour community service. Thank you john.
