Knowledgeable and Trustworthy

I was in need of an attorney and had visited several by the time I met Joey. Everyone else wanted a lump payment for their work; for the possibility of a high profile felony case. Joey, however, was willing to work with me and split up payments based on my pay schedule. Once he began representing me..., he got right to work defending me and was very aggressive about it. Even though I couldn't reach him right away all of the time, I never worried about being out of the loop or him not doing his job. He is a very knowledgeable and trustworthy attorney that I would recommend to anyone who is going through a situation where they need help.

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.

A great liar and dont call his clients back.

This man is full of it. I have been calling him for 4 months. I have not yet got a return phone call. I wish I would've read his reviews before we hire him. For the part 2 weeks I have been calling him 2 weeks straight everyday and I have not yet receive a phone call back. I will be reporting him to ...the board tomorrow. At this point I hate this man.. Its so funny that he can response to these reviews, but cant return my calls

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 !

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.
