Reliable and Fast response

From the moment I contacted Mr. Turner he was prompt to address all my concerns and questions. He was very knowledgeable and guided us through the process from beginning to end. I would definitely recommend him and hire again if needed.

Student Loan Debt

Mr. Turner has been amazing. It took a while but his persistent efforts where able to get my cases dismissed. The time was worth it and the fee was very reasonable. It feels great to have this burden off my back and Mr. Turner made it happen.

LOOKING FOR A CONSUMER PROTECTION ATTORNEY? HERE'S THE BEST.

N. (Jim) Turner has been a godsend to us. An A-list attorney working miracles for everyday people! A large debt collector wrongfully sued us and we were running out of time to respond as we researched the opponent, the legal jungle, and possible lawyers nearby our Citrus county location. Sev...eral lawyers in Citrus, Marion, and Alachua counties were not willing to take our case, which involved an opponent with accomplished and ruthless legal staff. We looked farther out to Tampa and Orlando for attorneys One Sunday, we sent inquiries to eight of them including Jim who appeared to have successful trial experience with similar cases. We were expecting to hear from someone Monday at least, but in just several hours, we got the first response - from an N. Jim Turner and his Debt Relief Law Center in Orlando -on a Sunday afternoon! We knew then - this was no ordinary attorney -someone who works quick and doesn't let the weekend stop them! Jim quickly flipped the table on this predatory debt collector and their legal sharks! He immediately researched a huge amount of case information and had a response and countersuit filed 1 1/2 days after providing him documents. We ended up collecting FROM them instead of paying! We have seen first hand Atty. Turner's commitment to clients, amazing knowledge, and ability to get results. His heart is in pulling off a miracle for every client and he has the talent and work ethic to do it. If you need a consumer protection attorney to turn legal adversity pitched at you into a home run and win, Atty. N. James Turner and his team are the ones to talk with!
