40,000 dollars and 4 years later NEVER been to Court!!!!!

I hired Turner, in 2015 for child modification case . I paid over 40,000 dollars and still owe 9000. I have never been to court , and when I finally fired them and got a new attorney they file a non suit , meaning my case had to start over AGAIN!! My new attorney has discovered Turner law charged me ...for things they never did. My child is in a abusive home and these people caused him to suffer longer!!! When my child is safe I will take action against TURNER LAW!!

They dont care about their clients. It's all about the money they can make. I even spoke to Mr. Turner himself who could have cared less about my needs.

shady attorney stay clear!!

I hired this attorney back in 2012 for a parenting plan modification. He was never the one who came to the courthouse sending one of his helpers who had no clue what was going on. When we went for mediation he sat on his phone the entire time telling me that it was up to me on what I wanted to do. ... Me and my ex-husband came up with an agreed parenting plan both of us had our initials on it all it needed to be was filed with the courts. Every time I called I got the same line waiting on the judge to sign. After forgetting about it (still owed them money and was making payments) I took the forms I had to get the state to help enforce child support payments just to find out they NEVER filed it with the courts and the courts CLOSED my case because NOTHING had been done with it. Fast forward 5 years later and I get a letter from another attorney wanting to take me to court for none payment for services that I never received in the end. Take my advice and pay the price for a GOOD attorney this one doesn't care about the outcome and NEVER contacts you. He shouldn't even be in law they need to take his license away.

Please make it possible to give negative stars on this page

Represented me in a post divorce custody battle. Combative. Disorganized. My council but treated me with contempt and disdain. He would not provide fee schedule when asked. Ran up large fee balance without warning. Gestapo collection company violates laws and decency when try to make arrangemen...ts. Please cite this attorney and/or force the attorney responsibility board to help your best interest. I would give negative stars if possible. Giving a rating insults positive numbers integer systems. One star rating is way way too much!

STAY AWAY!

I should NEVER have hired these guys! I wish I'd found AVVO sooner. To make a long story short, I hired these guys, covered all the details of the case, including the fee. Paid them half up front. The usual process began...getting them copies of various legal documents regarding my case, outlining ad...ditional details, etc. It was basically several emails worth of communications. And then...I didn't hear from them for 2 months!! No updates! Nothing! If I'd not been so busy with work, I'd have gotten on them sooner. But you know what happened? They FORGOT about me!! Not kidding. They plain forgot all about me. Then tried to explain it away due to their computers being upgraded. Seriously? Even if that WERE the case, they have paper copies of practically EVERYTHING! They eventually got their butt's into gear and expedited my case as best they could. Ok, great...finally. It was done. But then, the final balance of my bill was due. And...it mysteriously increased far beyond what I'd anticipated. By more than triple! For what? smh I have NEVER dealt with such a shady, careless, and yes, incompetent, law firm such as Turner Law. Do yourself a favor. Avoid them, at all costs
