Brett Davis Turner

This attorney was recommended by a bail bond agent. I called his office and left several messages with no call back. Finally a secretary said he was out but another attorney in the office could help. I met the other attorney at Mr. Turner's office and sent him full payment within a week thinking that... all was well. After a couple weeks of nothing happening and dealing with an attorney who seemed to not know anything about my case I called back and spoke to Brett Turner's secretary again. She had Brett Turner call me. He explained that even though I was calling his office the attorney I was given to just rented space from him. You can imagine my shock because I thought I was dealing with a group of attorneys in a law practice. He said if I wanted him to handle the case his fee was over twice as much but he would give me a break. At this point I was desperate because my trial date was approaching. I live out of state so I mailed him a check for the increased fee. Basically, that's the last I heard from him until he SHOWED UP LATE FOR MY COURT DATE!!! When he arrived it became obvious that he hadn't even done any preparation and was just then looking at my file in court. He negotiated a plea that had me avoid a DUI conviction but made me pay all the fines and undergo the punishment as if I had. He told me I had a full year to get everything paid and all the requirements met. The next day I was informed by a probation employee that wasn't the case and she was imposing a very onerous burden on me. I called Mr. Turner several times and finally got a call back but got NO HELP! Over a two or three month period I called several times but he would never talk to me or call me back. Finally when he did talk to me, even though he agreed that the requirements being imposed were not right, his "advice" was to just accept them and get it over with. My impression was that he didn't want to do any work and was reluctant to go against the people in the area that he deals with. In essence he made the well being of me, his client, subordinate to his relationship with people in the local system even though they were not acting correctly. When you have Mr. Turner on the phone (before you pay him) he does a good job of convincing you he will help. Good luck getting a call back after the check clears though.

This lawyer is incompetent, irresponsible, and almost impossible to get in touch with after he takes your money. He didn't even show up to my last court date, and I haven't heard from him in over four months! I paid him cash, up front, and he has not taken the time to at least call back with an apolo...gy, after the hundreds (really, over one hundred) of calls I've made and over 40 messages I have left with his secretary or his answering machine while my case is still going on and I have no clue of any progress or changes that may have been made. Words fail to describe how negligent this man has been. To this day, I am still calling his office on a daily basis, and getting no answers, and I am in the process of personally getting my situation resolved because I gave money to a "lawyer" who did not do/is not doing his job, at ALL.
