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…….

Very upset !!!

I wish I would known the back ground of this lawyer Joey Turner before hiring him . I've called everyday twice a day for 3 weeks with no response from him at all , but when it was time to hirer him an to pay him for services he was Johnny on the spot !!! Months have gone by with no results , no retur...n phones calls and being dodged by him . This isn't how real professionals conduct business at all ... I'm so very upset I just can't believe someone suppose to be professional could do you like this ...

Nicole, you and I were playing phone tag for a while. I’m sorry that it took us several tries each to connect. I’m glad that we did connect and that we fixed the problem.

Worst lawyer around

My husband was in jail about a year ago now. We paid a deposit for him to start working on the case. He missed all 3 court hearings, and made it impossible to get ahold of him. Everything he has said was a lie. Literally everything. Avoid using Joey Turner.

Paige, I’m disappointed in your review. You only retained me to get a bond for your husband, which I expedited for him. You never retained me to handle the rest of his case. I called you several times and even bothered you at work to make sure you knew that my representation was completed. I even called your husband last week to discuss your concerns. If you have any other issues, please call me at your convenience.

Won’t call back

Went to court beginning of March and won’t return any of my calls. It’s like he is dodging me. He gets his money on time every month. He talked a good game when we hired him. I don’t know what’s going on. I leave messages and the lady always says he will call me back when he gets out of court.

Posted by anonymous | May 09, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Ethics & Professional Responsibility

Wow

This lawyer is a slacker, my husband and I have been calling him incessantly to no avail. He doesn't keep scheduled appointment or follow through on anything. He promised a speedy resolve, but that was over a YEAR ago. Our experience was so bad we had to involve the state attorney general for his un...ethical practices. If it were possible I would give him a zero. Oh yeah and don't even think about visiting him at his office, no is ever available.
