Lazy Lawyer - hidden fees

I used Frank as my divorce lawyer. My ex had hired a real cutthroat sleeze bag and I was sure Frank could help me finish my case against this other party. At first he was helpful and involved, but as the case got more and more complicated and time consuming (and expensive) as my money ran out, so d...id Frank. He just wanted me to leave him alone. I basically wrote all my own paperwork and told him what to do. My advice is don't use him for complicated divorces. He will nickel and dime you for every 15 minutes you spend explaining to him yet again what has gone on in your case since he last blew you off.

I am sick over this review. I am not sure what client this is, or even if it is one of my clients, but I can assure you that my office strives to provide excellent service to every client on every case. I certainly would never let a client "write all my own paperwork", as I would not put my name to something I consider less than excellent work product. If you are a former client of mine, I would urge you to contact me to discuss your case and your dissatisfaction.

I couldn't have asked for a better attorney!

Before I was ready to hand over a retainer, I interviewed many attorneys. Sure they all said, "I can help you." But I wanted someone who was going to FIGHT for me. I wanted someone who was going to fight for what I DESERVED. Someone who KNEW what I wanted, and wasn't scared to go for it. Someone... who LISTENED to what I had to say, and UNDERSTOOD what my NEEDS were. I found that in Frank Tournour. He was knowledgeable and he knew the opposing counsel's strengths and weaknesses. He knew how to best prepare my case and what was realistic to expect. He made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. And I know that I would not have had such a positive experience without him. I would definitely HIGHLY recommend Mr. Tournour.

Great Attorney! I would gladly recommend Mr. Frank E. Tournour to my colleagues and friends.

I retained Frank Tournour for a very difficult divorce matter, in which my wife's lawyer created much animosity. In his motions to the court, Mr. Tournour was straight to the point and did not allow the opposing attorney to complicate things further with irrelevant details. The use of his client por...tal allowed me to stay updated on upcoming court dates, appointments and motions to the court. Prior to my case, Mr. Tournour was highly recommended by many of my clients, friends as well as his peers. I am very satisfied with the work he has done so far and I would gladly recommend his expertise to my friends and colleagues in the future.

Highly Recommend Frank Tournour

I worked with Frank recently to handle my divorce. As a fellow professional, I can say that Frank was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He followed through on all aspects of my case and was very fair and reasonable in his billing practices. He has great experience and provided very good ad...vice on what issues were worth fighting for and what issues were better to concede. I interviewed several other attorneys and I am pleased that I selected Frank to represent me.

"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Tournour and I have been colleagues for over a decade and we each have been practicing law twice as long. We have had more than a couple of cases together over the years and whether ally or foe, Mr. Tournour has always been competent, zealous, tough, courteous, and reasonable, and a pleasure to work with even though we deal with clients who are experiencing highly difficult and emotional times in their life. I wish all my adversaries were like Mr. Tournour. An adversary and friend."

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
