Shark in the water

I had been held without bond on alot of trumped up charges, 6 charges carring 16 years. I thought I was gonna be in jail guilty until proven innocent. Hired Turnbull just for the bail review as of now and even with the pretrial man at the jail painting me to be Charles manson Jack got me out on my... own recognisance until trial. Just 3 min of him talking could make the difference, amazing. Thank you Jack.

Efficient, Effective & shows up for WORK not just for court.

It is so hard to find an effective attorney. I have. been dealing with extreme legal issues for four to five years now. I recently went to trial with an attorney(custody+ motions appeal). My attorney prepared for the custody hearing w/ diligence but neglected preparation for my motions hearing w/ the... assumption it would be muted.Of course it was not & we spent two days on a trial my counsel was not prepared for while the custody trial was postponed, he sent me a bill for 12k. & all i could say was Turnball was worth 12k ..Turnball is highly efficient as well as effective & leaves nothing to chance.He is not the most persona le person but he is straight up&down with unrelentess litigation skills. HE represented me in 2012 for a highly publicized case & i took a plea(b/c it was mentally & physically draining) but i have no dou t that Mr Turnball would have fought well at trial. He has handled other cases for me with skill He is quick witted & his prices are reasonable.I only wish he did custody. I am on these forums all the time & people i am hear to testify, believe everything you rea. Attorneys are.quick to ask you what you can swing (price wise) my response "the question is an you swing it",, If you need an attorney to WORK for you & not just SHOW UP, Turnball is your guy. If you don't choose him don't say you weren't warned.

WORTH EVERY PENNY!!

Mr. Turnbull is the best criminal lawyer I have encountered in the state of Maryland!! He is the attorney you hire, when you know the odds are stacked against you and the case at hand is a case that will extremely effect your future!! His fees are reasonable and he is always willing to work with the ...clients!! He is an attorney that is on your side and will take all measures to defend his clients!! Even in worst case scenarios when the client is beyond doubt guilty Mr. Turnbull will always do everything he can to ensure your punishment is on the lesser end of the scale and not too harsh!! In cases where his client did not do anything wrong, but is simply being accused of false charges, Mr. Turnbull will do everything in his power to prove your innocence!! He has gone to the best law school and been licensed for 15 years!! Many clients as myself are return clients because of how happy we are with his services. We let Mr. Turnbull handle all of our legal affairs that he is capable of handling!! Even when a case is not a typical case Mr. Turnbull handles, he is always able to direct a client to a lawyer that is suitable for the case at hand if he himself does not handle that type of case, such as divorce or custody. He is the best lawyer in Maryland as far as I am concerned, and like the old saying goes... you get what you pay for!! Turnbull's services are worth every penny because your freedom is priceless!!

Traffic Violation

A few years ago I was driving through Baltimore and received a ticket for driving with a suspended license. I drive for a living so the consequences could have been bad from a professional standpoint. Mr. Turnbull got my charges dropped.

Posted by Brian | December 11, 2013 | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Great Criminal and Traffic Offense Attorney in Baltimore, MD

Mr. Turnbull represented me in a serious traffic case in 2008. I was coming home from a Redskins game and was pulled over for speeding and failure to provide insurance. Mr. Turnbull had all charges dropped. if he was not able to do so I would have lost my license and I am self employed so not driving... is not an option. I absolutely recommend Mr. Turnbull's services.
