Michael W. Turner

I hired Michael Turner to take my son’s case. I live in the City Of New Bedford. He never returns phone calls and has an initial consult and lies through the whole thing. He tells you what he can do and then two weeks later tells you something completely different as if you never sat down with him. I...n our final meeting a year ago, he had notes in front of him and we lost him five times in a conversation and as the year went by, he seemed to show serious signs of dimentia. His paralegal covered up for him every time we complained and she ended up resolving our case and getting our money back. After we hired him, two weeks later he told us he had bad cancer and needed surgery and that the prognosis doesn’t look good. Another family in the City said they worked with him and he is a liar because he was at a meeting with them and told their lawyer it wasn’t cancer but he is tired. This all transpired within two weeks apart. He did give me a retainer back. He is the nicest guy in the world and very smart. He just doesn’t seem to have the mental capacity to handle cases anymore and is very distracted. This was the reason why we discharged him. Since then he has resolved two other cases for people we know.
