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.

Excellent Attorney - Great representation for my sons speeding tickets

Lee Turner and his staff were professional, timely, honest, and communication and updates on case were wonderful. Lee Turner did a great job representing my son and gave us some great advice and referrals when a case was out of his jurisdiction. I would highly recommend Lee Turner to represent anyone....

He's got your back

Lee had my back when I needed him. He's been available for questions along the way. He's always fair and he looked out for me.

Outstanding Attorney

Over the past 22 years I have worked with Mr. Turner. He has also represented me in criminal allegations. Mr. Turner has always been honest and upfront with me.

Clients Beware!

I paid E. Lee Turner $5,000 in four months to represent my son in a criminal matter. Before I hired him He and I spoke about what his approach to the case would be, but after I had hired him, he did absolutely nothing that he was hired to do. Now he will not give the $5,000 back. I see that as legali...zed stealing. By the way, just to be clear, I am talking about the E. Lee Turner who used to be a police officer! Lee Turner lied to me about a federal law, taking advantage of my layperson status, trying to get me to talk my son into taking a plea deal after he did not put in the work on the case. I felt like he did not value my son’s case and should not have accepted it if he was not going to actually defend him. However, he wanted our money, and that is plain wrong!!! In four months, Lee Turner did not file one motion on my son’s behalf, lied to my son, saying he would come and see him the week of his first appearance as his attorney. Four weeks later, I found myself fighting to even get a phone call returned from him through his office because I didn't have his cell phone number. His office assistant said, “I am not giving you his phone number.” I had to fight for four solid weeks to get him to see my son and then he pops up with a plea deal, arguing with my son (his client) and me, overlooking inconsistencies in the case that he should have challenged through motions. I did find that when he had a high profile case, he knew how to file motions and challenge inconsistencies. It is too many unbelievable things to share in this one review. The worse part is that he visited my son only three times in four months, filed no motions, had a poor knowledge of the case. He personifies the word evil because he refuses to give me any money back that he did not earn. How did he earn it when going off on his own, not caring or researching beans soup about the inconsistencies in the case and then without my son’s consent, went to the DA to get a plea deal. Turner advised (threatened me) to be careful where I post my accusations saying that he has an excellent reputation in this community and at the courthouse. What exactly does that mean? Should I be looking over my shoulders? Well, Lee Turner, I tried to negotiate with you, I asked you to be fair and at least offer to return some money. Now, I want others to know about you. I do not want another family to be subjected to your kind of defense. You betrayed your own client and profited from what he has not earned.
