Robert Joseph Turner

Mr. Turner sounded so wonderful on my first visit to him. I thought my divorce would finally take place. He promised he was the best divorce atty in Nashville and he promised he worked quickly and efficiently. I could call him anytime. He took my money up front and promised me a speedy divorce that ...would be covered in the price I paid up front. That visit was the only good experience I had with Robert Turner and Associates! When and if I could speak with anyone, it was usually his secretary, who is one of the rudest people I have encountered while dealing with people that I am paying my hard earned money to provide services to me. He usually "promised" he would have the assistant to call me back, and that rarely happened without me calling several times. If I became insistent about the lack of communication and lack of progress on my case, he would immediately place me on hold and come back to say that he had just spoken with the legal assistant. When I complained about the unavailibility of Mr. Turner, I was informed that I could not call to speak to my attorney at any time... I must make an appt. And by the way, he only sees clients Monday through Wednesday! Once, after working night shift, I rushed to court for a 9AM appt, only to sit in courtroom waiting for my name to be called and hoping to see my attorney in the courtroom. After waiting a couple hours, I called his office, only to be informed that he couldn't make it but had sent a substitute atty in his place. The substitute had apparently come and left after finding out my husband was out of town and his atty had taken care of postponing everything. Meanwhile I sat in that courtroom losing much needed sleep for hours. How inconsiderate was that! I was in tears! After more cancelled appts, him not showing up to court, never knowing what was happening with my case, no communication, rude staff, total lack of concern,...etc... I informed his secretary that I was considering dropping my divorce suit. This happened after I received an inaccurate bill for services, which of course was hundreds of dollars above the original retainer fee. His response was "great, I will let him know"! Needless to say, I DO NOT recommend Robert Turner to ANYONE! He is a joke. You might as well save your money and represent yourself!
