About Kenneth
Biography
I am a Florida attorney with more than 15 years of courtroom experience representing clients in criminal defense and family law matters. My practice is based in Naples, and I represent clients in Collier, Lee, Hendry, and Miami-Dade Counties.
My criminal defense practice includes DUI, felony and misdemeanor charges, drug offenses, domestic violence cases, violations of probation, traffic offenses, suspended licenses, and other criminal matters. I also represent clients in divorce, parenting, child custody, and related family law cases.
I believe clients should understand what is happening in their case, what their options are, and what comes next. I prepare cases with litigation in mind from the beginning because meaningful negotiation is strongest when the other side knows you are prepared to go to court.
Before becoming an attorney, I served in the United States Army Reserve as a Combat Engineer and received an honorable discharge. I am a first-generation attorney and have spent my career representing individuals and families facing problems that can significantly affect their freedom, finances, children, and future.
My goal is straightforward: provide experienced, practical representation without unnecessary complication or expense.

Terrible Disappointment
Since hiring Ken, I've had a terrible time getting a hold of him. He doesn't respond in a timely manner but that turned into completely ignoring all my calls. Nine months of waiting for him to make a single move on the case has cost me several thousands of dollars, not to mention his fees. He's even ...

Replied last September 19, 2020In this review I have been called a liar and I do not believe those are your true beliefs about me. But this is an accusation that I take very seriously. I understand that people need to vent and I might have disappointed you; but I am not a liar and I believe I am a damn good attorney. I have completed good work for you in the past and I will continue to do good work for clients at some of the lowest rates in the state of Florida.. I have appeared in court with you on more than one occasion and I have successfully brought those past issues to satisfying conclusions. I let you in on an temporary issue I was having with PDF documents uploading into the e-filing portal and discussed in detail with you how they were not showing up with any data in them once uploaded. This moment of personal vulnerability has been turned into an accusation of lying. I did not every say “oh, there must have been something wrong with my computer.” I wrote the code for my website. I am not technologically illiterate. I know that you know better. I include in my agreements very specific directions on what are the best communication procedures. I learned about this review via email. I respond to emails almost nonstop. Also, communication in writing prior to phone calls saves time and memorializes the discussion so that there can be fewer misunderstandings. I did not ever say that anything could be retroactively filed; I do not have a time machine to go back in time. I have had discussions about how retroactive child support and modifications worked, especially considering documents were filed pro se in the past that may not have been brought to conclusion and may still be pending. I apologize for your disappointment and I always try to be better and learn. I do not have dozens of messages and emails from any single person. I have responded, i have spoke to you on the phone. However, I will take from this review and reevaluate some systems and make improvements where necessary.. I have no record of any attorney for the Florida Bar calling me and I will check with them to be certain. I have a 24 hour answering service when I am not available. My email address is [email protected].

Ken Turner is the way to go
My case was a dissolution of marriage where my ex wife was not only trying to have me pay for her credit card debt but she also wanted full custody of the kids and even removed them against my will. Ken immediately filed a motion of contempt and helped me win my kids back. He fought and presented acc...

Great divorce lawyer
Ken divorced me from my miserable no good husband and brought much peace into my life. He is an excellent attorney and I will use him again for my next divorce. He is a good person and always returned my calls and answered all my questions and alleviated much stress from the whole process.

One of the few attourneys left with a heart!
Family Court can be stressful and even scary when involving the most important person in your life, your child. Finding an attourney you can trust and depend on is even harder. I'm so thankful to have Kenneth represent me. I have been through 2 other attourneys and spent my hard earned money, to have...
