Family Court Case

I really appreciate what Ms. Turner did. She was able to handle my case and make sure I understood the circumstances that were taking place and also helped me navigate through them. If you are in Georgia and you are in need of a lawyer to help you with your case, I would recommend Ms. Turner!

Top notch

From our very first meeting, Ms. Turner's professionalism and manner set our minds at ease. Throughout our change of custody process, she was readily available to answer questions and advise as necessary for us to be interveners as grandparents in the custody case. She made sure that we understood a...ll possible outcomes so that we were prepared at every turn. Ms. Turner fought hard for our case and both in and out of the courtroom. She has a strong level of communication skills and is able to articulate options and priorities to enable us to better make decision. We were proud and humbled to have Ms. Turner represent us and look forward to hiring her to represent us in the future. Her down-to-earth spirit and passion for the law are above reproach! We are happy to recommend her and give a 5 star rating.

Divorce Win, Despite Uncooperative Ex

I'm so glad I chose Anne to handle my divorce. I was filing uncontested, as my ex and I do not have children and had divided up most of our property already, but he managed to complicate things and drag out the ordeal by disappearing and then trying to get out of paying back what he effectively stol...e from me. Anne answered all of my questions and gave great advice in a timely manner, and was firm and semi-threatening enough in her communications with him that he acquiesced and agreed to our original terms without going to court. Could not have asked for a better outcome!

Divorce/child custody

I hired Ann for divorce and child custody. She did a better than perfect job for me. At the end of the it when I saw all the E-mails she had sent to my wife's lawyer and how quickly she responded to the email sometimes in less than 5 minutes I realized she had done 3 times more than I think any lawye...r would do for me. If you need an aggressive lawyer that's not afraid to fight or would rather fight than accept deals then Ann Turner is the one you need. She gives excellent advice and listens to everything you say. I now have all three of my kids back home with me thanks to Ann.

Horrible Representation!

I have had the worst experience working with this attorney ever! Anne came recommended by another attorney whom. With the understanding that she was a fairly new attorney, when I spoke with her she seemed aggressive and ready to go to work for me as her client. I trusted her and initially felt that s...he had my best interest in mind. However, soon after the consultation I learned that the respondent’s attorney and Anne were friends and went to law school together!! Anne represented me in a child support, legitimization, visitation case, however it felt as if she was making sure that the other party got what she wanted. The respondent’s attorney would make request and she would just go with it! Never asking me if dates and times worked for me as her client. The other attorney (her friend) had an intern do most of the work and whatever the respondent requested, she got!!! When I hired Anne, I gave her EVERYTHING she need and she gave me figures that I could live with! Once it came down to it, she just went with whatever came her way, NEVER FIGHTING FOR ME!!! I have a 9 year old daughter in FL who was not considered at all and the CS figures I am having to pay an astronomical amount for one child! Who pays $900 a month for one child and gets the worse visitation agreement in the world. If the best interest is of the child, wouldn't him spending time with me as his father and getting to know who I am be beneficial to him? Not according to Anne, she didn't fight for me not one iota. She would talk about things that we talk about with the other attorney! Sounds like a conflict of interest to me. I feel so railroaded, by the attorney I hired to represent me and also the mediator who was also female! DO NOT HIRE THIS ATTORNEY!!! On top of everything else, this attorney would send me text messages to call her then charge me for the call, for her parking at the court house and anything else she could think of just to nickel and dime me. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, during mediation this attorney came up with an agreement for me to sign an affidavit for a criminal case that was frivolously created from a TPO that was ultimately DISMISSED by a Fulton court judge! I made it very clear that I did not want to sign an affidavit to bargain with a woman who has caused so much drama in my life and played with my livelihood almost causing me to lose my job of 15 years! I have a case where I am the victim and she has one claiming to be the victim. The difference is, the respondent used the TPO that was frivolous to file charges against me because my wife called her job, ONLY for the purposes of asking how can the process server serve her at work (the process sever that Anne hired). Knowing there was an active TPO, instead of hiring a Sherriff, she hired a process server who asked me and my wife to find out is the respondent was at work and the procedures for serving her!! This violated the TPO. I know the case will be dismissed just as the TPO was! But I had placed in case, had to hire another attorney, lose time at work and bond out, ALL BECAUSE SHE FAILED TO USE THE SHIRRIFF!!! Overall, Anne was more concerned with her friend and me signing that affidavit to let the respondent off more than anything!! The case was against me vs. the state, so why do I need to have her sign an affidavit saying that she won’t testify, and me sign an affidavit saying I won’t testify against her in a case where I am as the victim! Anne is a FAMILY LAW attorney and needs focus on sharpening her skills as a Family Law attorney because she let an intern beat her! At the end of the day, I have never heard of someone bargaining criminal cases for child support!! After I declined to sign the criminal affidavit, SHE WITHDREW from my case! Her concern was the respondent when I was paying her to do a job for me! Then she sent me a bill of all this charges, failed to include 2 checks that she had already cashed, failed to show me where my retainer fee was spent!

Divorce and separation lawyer | Dec 05

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I'm an appellate lawyer. I review the work of other lawyers for a living. Any time I talk to Anne, she is deeply immersed in her work. She agonizes over evidence questions. She stresses over strategy. She makes it a point to return phone calls quickly and let every client know that their fight is her fight. By the time she gets to court, she is alarmingly prepared. While opposing counsel fumbles over Exhibit 1, she's handing a tabbed three-ring binder to the judge in a font she spent time deciding on. When a friend or family member needs a family lawyer, I don't hesitate. I recommend Anne. If you try her, you'll do the same."
