Jonathan Turner is, in my opinion, the best trial lawyer in middle Tennessee. He took my case which was unique to put it nicely. After one (free) consultation, I fired my previous lawyer and right away knew he that everything was going to work out fine. I was facing a felony and four other misdemeano...rs. My case was complicated due to me incurring another charge after the initial charges. The felony and four others, I honestly was innocent of and despite any offer made, I wouldn't sweat under oath I was guilt of anything I was not.
So my case was taken by Mr. Turner after it had been bound over to a grand jury and the original misdemeanor I was charged with, went to 4 misdemeanors and a felony.
He helped me through this process for almost an entire year. He helped my family as well, going above and beyond his duties.
There is nothing bad I can say about this man. He is not only one of the best trial lawyers in probably the entire US, but he also is a good person. Money is required to have a lawyer who is going to stay in business. But it never was about the money for Mr. Turner. He took it upon himself to ensure me and my family that we were going to get through this and he would be there every step oforward the way. I have heard other lawyers tell me this and could not even get them on the phone or was charged $500 for double checking a hearing. Jonathan Turner is not that kind of guy. He does exactly as he says and he will be honest about what potential outcomes will be. As a former prosecutor himself he has a pretty amazing way of knowing almost exactly what to expect.
The end result was not anything that I wasn't guilty of (the original charges), so I am not a violent felon and I never spent a day in jail. I walked away with probation and a fine for the one crime I was guilty of that happened as a result of the original charges.
If you are looking for a lawyer who will take lemons and make lemonade with them, then he is your guy. I honestly can't tell you that throughout all of this, I began with the "high dollar lawyers" and I got more bills, more charges and a felony. I went to Jonathan and walked away with no bills after my initial consultation where I hired him, very little probation, a record resembling the law i did break a $500 fine. And it was anot outcome that he told me would likely happen. Not bad considering I was looking at 5-15 years behind bars.
