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!!!

Very Helpful and Knowledgeable

Robert Turner has been my Legal Counsel for the past 9 years. I have and continue to seek his counsel on estate planning, probate and other personal matters . Robert provided us with a much needed estate planning advice. He expertly drafted my estate plan that involved international matters along wit...h excellent estate tax advice. Most importantly, he drafted a plan that would take care of my family after I am gone. His advice and estate planning will prevent my estate from incurring a large estate tax so that my estate can be used entirely for the benefit of my family. Robert is a conscientious responsive attorney that is very knowledgeable about estate planning, probate and tax matters. I highly recommend him.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
