Refuses to refund, for service not provided.

I paid for his services November 25, 2020 and yet to receive the documents I paid for. I asked for my refund a week ago, even being fair and accepting half of my payment back and Mr. Turner has yet to refund me. At this point I will be taking the appropriate course of action in regards to his practic...e. I would highly recommend against retaining Joey Turners service.

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

FANTASTIC ATTORNEY

Mr. Turner has restored our faith in the legal community found here in Savannah, GA. We first found Mr. Turner a year ago in a moment of legal desperation, when previous council, proved uninterested, after payment was rendered, and ineffective. Mr. Turner's calming nature offered a refuge in what h...as been confusing and frustrating moments of an on going legal battle. His behind closed doors kind demeanor with clients, should not be mistaken for weakness in a court room. His commanding knowledge of the law and unflappable determination in the courtroom allows us to know that we have an advocate that has and will always fight for what is right for us in any of the legal issues we have faced and continue to encounter. Simply cannot say enough good things about Mr. Turner and his law firm!
