Good Start

I just hired Mr. Turner for a complex case. Before retaining he already looked into my case and researched with the D.A. A great start and I’m looking forward to working with him.

Hemp for Victory

This past 4/20 I was arrested on false charges of distribution of marijuana for my legal Hemp I had for I even have a permit by Savannah's parks and recreation for the art hemp. Cheatham country Georgia is no joke the system here would not give me bond as they saw me as a risk for a revolution. Ab...out 14 days in jail my parents made a decision on contacting Joey Turner and he came right away the next day to see me. I like how quick he came to see me and we discussed on getting me out on a bond and didn't want to talk to far up the road. 2 more weeks later he had me stand in front of a judge for a probable cause hearing. I feel Joey is a well spoken individual who gave forth information on Hemp. He and the DA went at it like a WWF match as she wanted no bond again! bringing up lies like I have violated my previous bond which didn't exist and that Joey had no legal right to ask the officer about his knowledge of hemp. Now I admit he was the only lawyer to see me in jail and I'm not sure my parents put forth effort on research. The more I research now the more I worry. but I have faith in humanity that we are all trying to show Glory to God and his people unless your a satanic government worshipper. I Have stayed patient with Joey times I do send him a text is best it might take some time or a few text for him to get back to you. One thing I didn't like to hear Joey tell me is it is not safe to try my permit Savannah gave me while this case is going. Well I know they could make up and even plant drugs on me so sad I can't live an American dream due to nightmares. I ask about the officers video evidence as if we can get copies and he told me I would have to be indieted first to get that. I am curious about how long it's gonna show the test results to the hemp I had for it and I am ageing as all this hell they are putting me through. I don't want to stress that's why I use hemp extracts and the raw form. So almost 5 months in and I'm ready for this all to end so we can begin our Hemp Revolution! I figure I wouldn't be the only souljah he will help out here in Savannah. The Cannabis Community is ready to roll and have Joey Turner make violators pay that toll.

Veteran Friendly...Confident and capable!

After returning from the war in Iraq I got 2 DUIs back to back in 2007. The driver services was not capable at all or willing to help or give me good information to help me get my driving privledges back.Mr. Turner had no problem clearing up yhe confusion with ease and asserted himself on my behalf v...ery well.I live in Florida now and we know how troublesome it is dealing with 2 different states. Not for Mr. Turner, he handles these cases everyday and is great at asserting himself.Very communication friendly, dependable, and very good at what he does.This was no problem for him.I highly recommend Joey.Point blank!

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.
