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

HORRIBLE - SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PRACTIVE LAW

I wish I could give a negative star rating. This is the worst divorce attorney I have ever seen. My fiancé used Robert for his divorce and is now paying for Robert's legal ignorance and is unable to fight much because Robert's office did not care enough to make sure that my fiancé was given the legal... advise and attention needed. because of this office's inability to properly take care of their clients, my fiancé and I are stuck still dealing with his ex-wife and everything she able to get away with because Robert was not thorough or professional. We are unable to start our new life together and are having to pay for hers. I will also be presenting all our information to the Bar as malpractice. This office is a disgrace to the family law and should not be licensed.

Felony case

Advised me and took control and handled my case like I never could expected!!! Incredible!!! Took great care and didn't even act like it was a big deal even though it was a felony charge. He IS MY attorney!

Horrible Service

Mr. Turner and his partner Mr. Johnson failed to properly file my bankruptcy and complete it with a discharge, twice. I had to hire a new attorney to fix their mistakes. On top of it, they would never apologize or admit any error on their part. Two forms that must come from the attorney were never fi...led to finalize my bankruptcy after 5 years of diligent payments and debtor education courses taken. Horrible, horrible. Do not give money to this man or his team.
