About

I am a 1984 graduate of the Indiana University School of Law in Bloomington. I have focused on criminal defense for the majority of my thirty years of experience. I have handled many jury trials and filed many appeals before the Court of Appeals and the Indiana Supreme Court.  I have been a speaker on multiple occasions covering topics of motions practice, speedy trial rights, evidentiary issues, and due process analysis. I have worked for the firms of McClure and Kammen, Laudig George, Rutherford & Sipes and Ice Miller obtaining experience and knowledge in the areas of  multi-jurisdictional  federal litigation and real estate.  I have also worked at the State Public Defender and the Marion County Public Defender Agency where I was able to handle major felony cases, some of which were high profile.  I am now retired from the County and applying my years of criminal and litigation experience to a practice located at two offices in Carmel, Indiana and downtown Indianapolis serving the Central Indianapolis and Northern Indiana areas and surrounding counties.  Turning a hobby into a profitable venture,  I invented the game ”Chronology”, distributed in the US through Buffalo Games, and in Sweden through Egmont.

My family resides in a small town and the thought of seeking out an attorney and going to trial was frightening to say the least. Jane possesses the personality to relate to small town people and explain the legal process every step of the way. Being from a large city myself my personal experience is lack of communication. Jane returned every phone call to my family mostly on the same day , they were never without answers to their questions. Jane Ruemmele's customer service and personality made her the best attorney selection my family could have made.

I consulted with Jane about a Title IX issue and my university. She was extremely knowledgeable about the subject and provided a much needed sense of clarity on the situation. I am very grateful I was able to seek her counsel during my consultation.

I hired her to represent my son on 3 cases 1 being a felony 5 and 6. She promptly went to the jail to see him and discuss his cases. She explained to us what to expect as we were new to all the legal stuff. Jane fought for my son's freedom as if it were her own child. She wasn't afraid to think outside the box. At all times she had not only my son's best interest at heart as well as ours. She with her many years of court room litigation was able to fight in such a way that the prosecuter dropped the felonies and he just got probation. We owe his freedom and our peace of mind to Jane. We have already referred friends to her and they love her just as we do. Thank you Jane for your compassion and understanding and complete openness and most of all thank you for giving me back my boy.

Jane has gone above and beyond to help my family in a custody battle. She is available to talk when I need her and always answers all of my questions. She is brilliant in the court room and gets the job done. I felt confident with her by my side. Overall best attorney I have ever worked with. Very educated in the family law area. I will use her for any instance I am needing an attorney.

Jane Ruemmele was the fifth attorney to become involved in our case, a case that spanned a decade and was perplexing even to the Judges involved. Her professional demeanour, knowledge and confidence in the court room proved to be successful in winning our case. This case involved a community, not just one person. Jane Ruemmele having the talent to establish agreement with a client that had several different points of view was a victory in itself.

I have known Jane since grade school (50 years) and had an unfortunate incident several ago that she assisted me with. Jane was my advocate; she fought for me and was confident in my innocence. I was very impressed with her skills, competence and talent in the courtroom. Most importantly, Jane made me comfortable during this horrific time in my life. She was supportive and believed in me. I attribute the positive outcome to Jane!. I highly recommend her to anyone that needs criminal defense!

I've known Jane for many years and have admired her wisdom and integrity. On several occasions I've called her to help me with issues that have arisen in my business. She is thorough and thoughtful. Her careful attention to details has saved me money and further problems. I truly appreciate what she has done for me.

Our son was charged with a serious offense resulting from an extreme lack of judgment. We had no real experience with "the system" and were very nervous about him in the Marion County Jail. Jane got reasonable bail arranged, got him out and helped us with a plea arrangement that kept a felony off his record. He now holds a responsible job that would not otherwise be possible. Jane's the best.
