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!

Mr. Turner performed due diligence, acted honestly, timely, and got me the deal I wanted.

I have recommended him on numerous occations. Why? I was 20 facing my 1st DUI charge. I failed the breathalizer upon arrest so my options were limited, and I was ignorant. He projected a drop to Reckless Driving, No Jail, and Class. He got the date extended once for me and then when I arrived at cour...t, spoke to him, I was out with the exact anticipated deal in ten minutes. Mr. Turner cut me a 50% deal simply out of kindness as he knew of my financial hardship. He was very knowledgeable and professional. If you want your agent to perform his due diligence, have an object and unbiased treatment of all cases, and be a considerate advocate on your behalf in troubled times, I recommend him. Contrary to other indications posted by god-knows-who I swear that my experiences with this advocate always exceded my expectations.

beware

Very disappointed with this atty. Paid the retainer, was told he would be "there from 1 to 3:30" on Monday, so I thought the male receptionist was telling me I could drop by for my PAID visit. When I got there, the room was crowded like 20 people. Standing room only, mostly people who spoke no Engl...ish. Knowing he could not give me the time I needed (or paid for)--with this many people ahead of me and his limited time to be there-- I was greatly worried about his motives. After waiting 1 1/2 hrs-- I googled him. Found out he lost his license in 09 for professional misconduct. I asked for my money back and left. Hired a lawyer AFTER googling him! Also, I needed an answer immediately about the new "bond restriction" that went into effect 1/1/12-- he was clueless about this (the requirment for drug testing BEFORE you even go to court.) The Around the Clock bondsman told me about it-- the lawyer did not know. Too many negatives here.

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.
