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 eventually 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 handle it. And he did! My friend only got a 12 hours AA class and I got 24 hour community service. Thank you john.

Outstanding Attorney
I have had the opportunity to work with John Razumich this year and last. In each case he was quick to assist, kept a good line of communication, and great on follow-up. John was very knowledgeable in my issue and was quick to help explain to me the laws and my rights in these issues. When shopping for attorneys I found that John’s prices to be very reasonable if not a bit more affordable than other attorneys. I have since recommended him to three of my friends all who have been more than satisfied. If you are shopping for attorneys, please take the time to call John.

I have needed the services of John Razumich, Attorney, several times over the last 5 years. John far exceeded my expectations on end results, impeccable follow-up with me and attentiveness, I was especially impressed and grateful with how John worked with the courts and its personnel. It became quickly evident he was well respected, known and liked. If your are seeking a highly skilled, attentive attorney John Razumich is that attorney. I can't say enough good things about him and how he worked to achieve positive results for me and my family. Robert G.

I was such a pleasure working with the Mr. Razumich. He was been nothing but professional, knowledgeable, and just awesome. His team was extremely informative about the entire process, He followed up with me on a regular basis, and replied to all my questions and emails in a prompt manner (which I greatly appreciated!). Without him, I’m not sure what I would have done. I highly recommend his firm. Thank you, Stephen

Great Educator and Counselor
I am a stranger who sought out John via AVVO. I called up John the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, late in the afternoon. I had a question about a licensed Indiana driver and the implications a DUI in Illinois would have on her. John gave me great advice. He was intelligent, professional, and polite. I am so glad I contacted him. While I suspect he had better things to do with his time, I extended the professional courtesy with quality information and I greatly appreciate it. I hope to repay the favor one day!

Outstanding Lawyer!!!
John is very powerful in the court room! He will walk you through everything never leaving you to worry. I have experience with over 8 lawyers and by far John is on a different level! He was very direct and very clear with the judge. When he speaks there is clear understanding of what he wants done. John will fight for you!

If you are looking for criminal defense I suggest John Razumich.
John was a great help to me and my family during the whole process we went through. He was sensitive and empathetic to our situation. He kept us informed every step of process and helped us understand the expectations set forth by the courts. If we had any questions, and left a message, he always would get back to us in a timely manner. I felt confident and sure of our case and situation at all times.

Serious Legal Matter
It was a relief to have John Razumich from BJR Legal working on my side. In the spring of 2013 I found myself facing a serious legal matter including charges against me that could've resulted in jail time. Scared and not knowing how to navigate through an arrest and a complicated bond issue, John's online "what to expect" videos, in addition to a quickly returned initial phone call and a knowledgable discussion helped us select John as my criminal defense lawyer. John made himself available that entire weekend and following week to help start planning the presentation of my case to the court. He was knowledgable about the legal matters that faced me and was able to work with the prosecutor's office to construct an effective plea agreement. Thanks to John's advice and guidance through the court system, I am well on my way to putting this matter behind me. Instead of serving six months in jail, I have completed home detention and community service work, taken classes and paid my restitution back. Once the conditions of my "situation" are completed, I will be able to have the felony stricken from my record. I would highly recommend John and his BJR Legal colleagues to those in need of a good criminal defense team.

Got my felony case dismissed
I was accused of a theft that I didn't commit and John answered all of my questions and talked to me like I was a person. I didn't want to take the prosecutor's plea agreement and John said we could take it to trial and the prosecutor dismissed the case. He did a great job, and I hope I never need a lawyer in the future but I will tell everyone that does need one that they should hire John.

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 important! He didn't visit my wife when she was in jail or contact me before or after the trial!
