Compassionate, Empathetic, Amazing!

Mr. Turner is an absolutely amazing Lawyer! I was falsely charged with a DWI, and Mr. Turner was there for me the entire time to help calm my nerves, and explain the entire process to me. He was able to get my case dismissed, and I was able to leave without the record on my insurance, or the points o...n my license. I highly recommend using Mr. Turner if you are in need of a lawyer. He does the job well, and communicates the process to you so that you are not left in the dark.

Amazing lawyer

Mr.Turner Is an amazing lawyer, I was on felon probation and wound up getting violated for not paying all my fees. Hired Mr.Turner and he got all my fees dismissed and my probation terminated! Highly recommended in my book, he also works on behalf of the client and will help you get the best outcom...e for you!!

Utmost Professional

I have worked with Lee Turner on multiple occasions. He is the epitome of professional and will work and fight for his clients to ensure they have the best representation available.

People must have looked and there were consequences.

I'm glad I find a site to give my review of Mr. Turner. What I find strange is how all these great comments how on the same date, as if everyone decided to give him 5 starts on the same day, hmmmm! Well my experience is if he can't help you with ease of a call to one of his former police connections,... then you are screwed. He will not go out and be the attorney he could be, if it at all sheds a negative light on him to the police dpmt. He should work for the DA, not as a defense attorney, because that defense is tissue paper. My experience with for a crime, something that I wasn't even present for, gave me the thought that it would be an easy case, but only easy if he took the time ask questions of the right people, regardless if he didn't look pleasant to the judge and DA. Defend the client, not the DA, they have all the resources they want, I ONLY HAD HIM, and my FACTS. Be a family man, by helping other men get back to their family. I took money from my household to help him, but yet he didn't help me. I could have taken my own chances and been 1000's of dollars better. Defendant beware!!!

I can never thank Lee Turner enough!!!

I hired lee to help me with a DMV hearing to try to get my license restored that were permanently revoked yrs ago for having 3 dui's within a 5 yr period.I had been told by other lawyers in the past that i would never get a license again.Lee started by clearing up some old stuff on my record that wou...ld need to be cleared so that i could start the process of getting acessments for the 3 old dui's and many hrs of adet classes.I spent nearly a yr getting everything done required to even get a hearing its not easy but worth it.I soon found that meeting all of the requirements is only half the battle and that you still have to go before a hearing officer and thats when you need a good experienced attorney like E. Lee Turner.I have changed my life and no longer drink but i am not sure that without Lee representing me and pleading my case that i would have gotten my license restored.Lee has alot of respect from the law enforcemnt community as he was an officer himself before becoming a lawyer.His character and integrity carries alot of weight. Thanks to Lee my life and marrige well be so much better with the priveledge of having my license back.Thank you Lee for all you did!!

  • 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.
