In For A Fight

My horror story sounds a lot like the rest of these reviews. Hired him January 2020 and fired him March 2021. In that time the only thing he did for my case was send one email. He will take your money. He will miss your court dates. He will lie about the work he is doing on your case. He will ignore ...your calls and miss appointments. Then, when you fire him, he will promise you a refund you will never get, block your calls, and hold your court file hostage so it makes it harder for you to move on. I paid him $4000 and got nothing out of deal! I see a lot of you mentioned the GA bar...that was my first route, but the supreme court decided not to would reprimand him for his behavior. They said I did not have enough proof. But they did say their decision does not stop any legal actions I choose to bring against Joey. My suggestion would be for you all to PLEASE PLEASE still file a grievance with the GA state bar. The more they hear his name, the more they will become aware of his behavior. Just go to the state bar website/For the public/File a complaint/Grievance. If you need help you can also call them 404-527-8759 or contact me. I am working on something else to get my money back plus more and bring light to this situation. Please, if your story is anything like mine reach out to me. ([email protected]) There is more we can do if we stand as 1. Don't just complain on the reviews! Do something about your situation! As for me this fight is far from over!

The Turner Law Firm

"Without the help of the Turner Law Firm, I know that I would not have had the successful outcomes I have had. Mr. Turner took on an extremely difficult case and encountered issues that no one expected and few had ever seen. He worked continuously to make sure that the truth was told and presented it... perfectly. He has stood by every one of my requests and guided me through the entire lengthy process. Though we faced challenges, Mr. Turner did not falter. His thorough research provided us the pathway we needed to rise to victory. I will only recommend Mr. Turner as I have never been nor have I ever seen anyone treated better. I am proud to be a Turner Law Firm client and will continue to retain them for all legal matters that may arise as I know I am in the best hands." Thank You Mr.Turner

False hope

Although he's well spoken, he's really full of crap. He takes your money and will not answer your call at all. I can't wait to catch him in the streets. People work hard for their money that he takes away with no remorse. Everybody has family, that they love. I would hate for anything to happen to hi...s lovely looking family. Or maybe I don't being as he doesn't care about no one else family. Go find another lawyer. He will not help you.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
