Takes your money no action

A real lawyer actually hired him for my husband James Phillips. He took our money and promised to get him out last year. No results and we can't get in touch with him...do not hire him.... beware

Subpar

I hire him before I got out the military for a dui charge that’s been open since August 2017 and still open. Since then I had moved to do work and school and have been constantly calling trying to get a hold of him for months. To be honest this happened more than once when I go months of trying to ge...t a hold of him and no response. We are now in November 2018 and I still can’t get a hold of him. His work ethics are subpar and I honestly do not and never will recommend him to anyone. Sure he might draw you in with this cheap prices but I rather pay a little more for a lawyer that’s actually going to do what he is paid to do and that will keep in touch with his clients and keep them informed. So I already know what’s gonna happen next he gonna call me like last time and ask me to take this post down which I was stupid enough to do the last time after he gave me his word it won’t happen again. I writing this to inform any and everyone that’s looking for a lawyer and I’m telling you to please look somewhere else and if my words don’t hold anyway just know that I’m a Marine Coprs veteran with ten plus years and spent the last three making them and I give y’all my word on it all this is not the lawyer you want.

Wonderfully helpful, would recommend.

Accommodating, hardworking and professional. The expertise and competency Joey Turner displayed brought peace of mind throughout the entire process. All the questions I had going in were quickly answered and then some. Calls were always answered in very timely manner and emails were responded to in a... similarly speedy fashion. Professional yet never impersonal, I was always given respect as well as treated with care, both as client and a person. He was extremely dedicated to helping, which was clear from the (free) consultation, all the way up to the success we achieved by the end. While I hope to never again be in a situation to need a lawyer for something like this , I know that if I or any friend/family members were, I would without doubt want someone like Joey Turner.

Impressed!

After a misunderstanding happened when visiting Savannah, GA, which lead to a misdemeanor, I contacted Joey to handle my case. He is very understanding and knowledgeable about the process, as well as reasonably priced. He was able to have my case dismissed and I never had to appear in court. I am for...ever greatful!!!! Thank you Joey !

Best Attorney!!! Please Read!!!!

Joey Turner is ABSOLUTLY the best Attorney you could hire….. I have never been in any legal trouble before let alone, having criminal charges pending against me. I was scared and unsure of what to do. I received a notice through the mail on a Friday afternoon that I had pre-warrant court on Mon...day. I felt very hopeless in this situation with having such late notice. I started calling attorneys in a panic and leaving messages. The few that returned my call were decent they stated they could help and the cost pretty cut and dry. At 6:30, I received a call back from Attorney Joey Turner himself, not a secretary or legal assistant. I explained my situation and the craziness of it. The first words I received from him were, “You’ll be okay. I can help you and it’s not that horrible.” Unlike like the other attorneys, the financial end was not mentioned until I asked. He was more concerned about information on my case. We arranged to meet that following Monday morning to talk about the case and what I could expect. During the discussion, there was an ease that came over me when I realized Attorney Turner was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and very strong with determination on winning. At the same time he was able to calm me down with reassurance. Attorney Turner was of course hired!!! He immediately went to arrange a continuance, and I didn’t even have to even make an appearance that day much to my relief. Prior to court, Attorney Turner communicated often with me. He would always return my calls, even in the evening and weekends. ALWAYS no matter what the question was he answered putting me at complete ease. 3 weeks latter was my hearing, I felt prepared and confident thanks to my Attorney. Needless to say not only did he get the charges dismissed he had excellent courtroom demeanor. I walked out of there with my head held high and smiles all the way, feeling like a winner, because of Attorney Joey Turner. He went above and beyond his job. I will forever be grateful and indebted to Attorney Turner. In my opinion, he is Savannah’s Best and Only Criminal Attorney…….
