Real honest lawyer. If you need a fighter by your side, don't hesitate to call Thank you again, Mr Licona
Attorney Chuck Rathburn and Rathburn Law Office are top-notch. Chuck is a true leader in DUI/DWI defense and the most knowledgeable person I’ve ever met when it comes to breath testing devices and the science behind them. He’s thorough, professional, and clearly knows how to defend and protect his clients. Highly recommend him and his firm for any DUI/DWI or related legal needs.
Thank you for the kind words. Coming from an attorney like you, it means a great deal. I look forward to seeing you at our next Continuing Legal Education event.
Will not return calls so I’m moving on to someone else that will answer the phone!!
Mr. Atis, Thank you for the great review.
Rude. I messaged asking for advice and he said "My firm does not practice in this area of law. What made you think it does?". When I googled family attorney, his bio pulled up immediately and google said he was who I should contact for assistance. If he does not want people requesting help for family attorneys, he should contact google to have that changed. He was the first to pop up.
Terrible attorney, I’ve paid him 2000$ for his help with my ticket, but actually when he got my money, he started ignoring me. My driver’s license has been suspended, on the court hearing nobody came. I still have this problem going for 2 month.
We're sorry to hear you've had a bad experience. We always strive to provide excellent service to our clients.
Mr. Chuck Rathburn went above and beyond for me, in an unfortunate time of my life. I reached to his office and was contacted the same day! Which I had tried several over forms and no one reached back out at all. He asked me some questions about my situation and went through some of the options. I took the night to figure out if I could financially go with him or not. Unfortunately I was unable to, but when I reached out and told him my decision is where his true character stood out! He didn’t just shew me away and not return text or calls, he offered support and recommendations for a more local attorney. He showed compassion and empathy in a town where I felt like a failure. I hands down would recommend him on that alone!
Dear Kimberly,<br>Your extraordinary 5-star review has deeply moved everyone at our practice, and Mr. Rathburn will be genuinely touched by your words. While it saddens us that financial circumstances prevented us from representing you, your recognition of the compassion, empathy, and support you received during a difficult time means more than you could possibly know.<br>Mr. Chuck Rathburn's character truly shines through in your description of how he responded when you couldn't move forward with representation. Many attorneys might have simply moved on to the next case, but Chuck's commitment to helping people extends far beyond billable hours or potential fees. His willingness to offer recommendations for more local attorneys, provide ongoing support, and treat you with dignity and respect even when there was no financial benefit to him reflects the values that define his practice and his character as both an attorney and a human being.<br>The fact that he contacted you the same day you reached out, after you'd tried several other firms without any response, speaks volumes about his accessibility and genuine concern for people in crisis. When someone is going through an unfortunate time and reaching out for legal help, same-day responses aren't just good customer service – they're lifelines that show someone cares and is willing to listen during moments of vulnerability and uncertainty.<br>Taking time to ask questions about your situation, walking through options thoughtfully, and giving you space to make the right decision for your circumstances demonstrates the patient, client-centered approach that distinguishes exceptional attorneys. Chuck understood you needed time to evaluate whether representation was financially feasible, and he respected your need to make that determination without pressure.<br>What happened after you reached out with your decision is what truly sets Chuck apart. Instead of disappearing or becoming unresponsive – behavior you'd unfortunately experienced from other attorneys – he responded with compassion and practical help. Offering recommendations for more local attorneys who might better fit your budget and circumstances shows genuine investment in connecting you with help, regardless of whether he could be the one providing it.<br>Your statement that he showed compassion and empathy in a town where you felt like a failure is particularly powerful. Legal issues often arise during life's most challenging moments, and the feelings of failure, shame, or overwhelm that accompany these situations can be as painful as the legal problems themselves. Having an attorney recognize your humanity, treat you with kindness, and help you feel supported rather than judged can provide emotional relief that matters just as much as legal guidance.<br>The fact that you would recommend him hands down based solely on how he treated you when he couldn't take your case speaks to something rare and beautiful in legal practice. Chuck's true character revealed itself not in what he could gain from the interaction but in how he chose to respond when there was nothing to gain except the knowledge that he'd helped someone during a difficult time find a path forward.<br>Kimberly, your review will resonate powerfully with others who read it – not just those seeking legal representation but anyone evaluating whether Chuck Rathburn is the kind of person they want representing them. Your testimony reveals an attorney who values people over profit, who leads with compassion rather than calculation, and who understands that sometimes the most important thing he can do is simply treat someone with dignity and point them toward help.<br>We're truly sorry you felt like a failure and that you were going through such an unfortunate time. We hope the local attorney Chuck recommended was able to help you, and we hope your circumstances have improved since then. Please know that if you ever find yourself needing legal assistance in the future, our door reamains open.

I had the pleasure of working with Charles Rathburn on my DUI case, and I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney. From the very beginning, he was incredibly easy to get in touch with and always made sure I fully understood what was happening at each step. He explained everything clearly and never made me feel rushed or confused. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, he was able to reduce my sentencing significantly, which made a huge difference for me. Beyond just the outcome, I really appreciated how approachable and professional he was throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Charles Rathburn to anyone in need of an attorney who truly cares about his clients and gets results.
Thank you so much for your detailed and kind 5-star review! We're delighted to hear that Charles Rathburn provided you with clear communication, professionalism, and successful results. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we're glad he could make a positive difference for you.
Worst attorney in Indiana by a mile. I hired Charles Rathburn, who claimed to be a DUI expert and it was one of the worst decisions I’ve ever made. He would often ghost me for months at a time until the day before the next hearing date. During my trial, he was completely unprepared — he didn’t have any of the evidence I personally provided him, nor did he present anything he supposedly requested after having me sign a release for my military and medical records. Instead of defending me aggressively, he was overly friendly and accommodating to the prosecution, almost as if they were his clients and/or to get kudo points with the prosecuting attorney. Additionally, throughout the 3 day trial, he appeared nervous, sweating profusely, and his performance was so poor that my later appeal had no chance in hell. It was denied. In my opinion of the experience I had with him as my defense attorney, he showed zero professionalism, zero preparation, and zero advocacy for me as a client which I attribute to the guilty verdict of my 0.03 BAC (state law is 0.08 or above) and my first and only DUI charge. I would strongly caution anyone against hiring him.
Chuck was super helpful and communication.
Thank you for your feedback! We're thrilled to hear that Chuck was able to assist you effectively and keep the communication clear. We appreciate your 5-star review and look forward to helping you again in the future if needed!

I cannot say enough about how amazing Mr. Rathburn was in handling my case. From the very start, he was incredibly diligent, quick, and straight to the point. He truly understood the urgency of my situation and worked tirelessly to resolve it. What seemed like an impossible case was turned around in just a matter of days, and I owe it all to his expertise and dedication. Mr. Rathburn didn’t just handle my case—he made me feel heard, respected, and cared for throughout the process. He was thorough in his approach, constantly keeping me informed and giving me confidence that things would work out. And they did! If you’re looking for a lawyer who is not only skilled and knowledgeable but also compassionate and efficient, Mr. Rathburn is the one to call. He went above and beyond to deliver results, and I will forever be grateful for his work. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal help. He is truly a blessing!
It was a pleasure to help you. I hope your 2025 is healthy and prosperous.
Hired this attorney for a first time offense DUI case. He ghosted us several times, and we could only get ahold of him the day before the first hearing. He never requested or filed for a hardship license like he said he would, which led to a license suspension of over 8 months! Zero communication whatsoever and a bunch of excuses each time it was addressed. He then asked how much we owe him bc he had no idea. Based on lack of communication alone, I would not recommend this attorney to anyone.
Very helpful over the phone, easy to talk to and knowledgeable. Highly recommend
Thank you for the kind words.
