William Joseph Turner

I hired Joey back in 2020 to handle my dui case and after 3 years with almost no contact without chasing him down and only getting him to appear at 1 court date I went in and got my case resolved by myself. He did absolutely nothing on my case, didn't even show me a discovery of evidence from my case..., and even lied that nothing can be done but to plea guilty with dui and take whatever they give me. After going to my court date alone they offered me a plea deal to reckless driving with a fee and a year of probation which is fine with me. If I had stuck with him as my lawyer I would still be waiting for another court date and probably going to trial, which I believe with this person as my lawyer I would have lost. I'll be seeking full reimbursement since the job was never done and I hope no one ever makes the mistake of hiring this "lawyer" for their matters.

I originally inquired with Mr. Joseph "Joey" Turner in September 2020 on a DUI case that has been pending since January 2019. During the initial consultation, it was indicated to Joey that resolving the case as quickly as possible was of grave concern due to my federal and military employment. Joey s...tated that the case should be resolved by the end of the year (2020) in which he was already in discussions with the Solicitor and was readily agreeable to the resolution. A year later, having since been discharged and denied four transfer and promotions my case is still pending. Recent contact with the Solicitors office suggests that Joey has not made contact with their office regarding my case. Unfortunately, the only time I can get Joey to return a call is when I send a certified letter to him, which I have done twice already. He will then set new deadlines and I do not hear from him again. I read the reviews of his prior communication issues/concerns and after speaking with Joey, he was prompt, courteous and responsive until I tendered my payment in full to him. I also see this to be common report from his peers and other reviewers/clients Please folks, do your research prior to hiring Mr. Turner.

My son was fighting a federal case in savannah. the courts appointment of counselor was Mr Turner for three years my son requested his discovery to no avail he filed complaints with the court, grievance with the bar the government refused to take this uncaring individual off my son case ultimately my... son went to trial with Mr Turner after seeing of hearing any evidence against him and no preparation for defense he was found guilty of a lesser offense. I sat 4 days of trial and Mr Turner was lost had no fight, I even see him coming out the liquor store after day two of trial. I wouldn't let him defend my dog,this man needs to be disbarred his care for human life is zero,he don't respond to request from his clients, don't provide discovery don't end up like my SON

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!

I hired mr turner for a case I had and initially he came off as a great guy to trust with my money (being that he worked with me on the payment) However after he was retained he pretty much went silent n all of a sudden unavailable long story short I terminated him and still haven't received my refu...nd nor have I talk to him til this day so bad choice on my end (ZANDERS.M) PS I STILL NEED MY BALANCE JOEY TURNER ITS BEEN A WHOLE YEAR NOW COME ON MAN
