Robert made my estate planning simple.

Before I deployed to Afghanistan, Robert helped me set up my affairs so that my wife and children would be provided for in the event of an unfortunate circumstance. My family situation is more complicated than average, and he designed a trust that was tailored to the task.

Great to work with

I had to have my dad's estate probated and I don't live in GA. Having Robert Turner as my attorney put my mind at ease. I appreciate that I never talked to his secretary or paralegal; I always communicated with him. Sometimes that meant I had to wait for him to get back from court but I was ok wi...th that. He is very knowledgeable and patient explaining things. If I ever need legal assistance again, I will contact Mr. Turner. If he can't help me, I would trust his recommendation.

Great Attorney!!!!

My family had to deal with some serious issues involving a death int the family. My family member that passed away had a complicated estate and Robert Turner was critical in guiding me through the estate tax and income tax issues. The Treasury Department (IRS) was completely unreasonable, and I was ...not able to make any progress with them. Mr. Turner stepped in and reassured me that the matter would be resolved in my favor, and that the resolution in my favor would just be a matter of time. I was able to relax, and Robert Turner took the weight of the world off me. Mr Turner did resolve the issue in a timely manner. He is a lawyer that I highly recommend!!!

Robert Turner is an excellent attorney, both knowledgeable and tireless in his work for my family.

Robert Turner represented me in an estate matter. He is very knowledgeable and got the work done in a timely manner. My case was difficult and involved fighting among the family. My family was completely at odds. Through his tireless and diligent work we were able to resolve all issues in our favor.... Mr. Turner is an excellent attorney that I would highly recommend.

Comprehensive estate planning

Mr. Turner took the necessary time to review all of the needs my spouse and I, truly guiding us through the estate planning process. I had many, many questions and he took the time to educate me as he responded to each of my concerns. He was patient and interested in crafting us a detailed plan tha...t provides for as many future contingencies as possible. Another lawyer who looked at the plan remarked at how comprehensive it is. I am very pleased with the plan we have courtesy of Mr. Turner. We were extremely fortunate to have his expertise.
