OK JOB

Mr. Turner was obtained for me by a family member in a criminal case. The family member called Mr. Turner and he came to my house in record timing. He has been very helpful in helping my family and I in this time of need.

Extremely disappointed

I retained Mr. Turner based on a referral from someone in the community. My experience with him, however was extremely frustrating to the point that I discharged him and hired another attorney. Mr. Turner was ALWAYS late to every court appearance-rushing into the court room at the very last minut...e. His office is extremely chaotic; every appointment I had with him was a series of interuptions and his attention to me for those 15 minute periods was divided amongst his office staff running in and out of his office, his cell phone text messaging him, my file was never available for his review. His enthusiasm for my case was remarkably high at our first meeting, but then at each court appearance diminished. His lack of attention, inability to recall our prior conversations, and his declining lack of interest in my case was distasteful. Although I informed him by email, he appeared to not realize that he had been discharged when he appeared at my final appearance.
