Exceptional attorney - Exceeded my expectations and then some!

Ms. Turnbull completed a comprehensive estate plan for me in 12/17. This included a will, a trust, a power of attorney, medical directives, etc. I was able to retain her through Hyatt Legal Services. Initially, I retained a different attorney who after providing a draft of several documents, neve...r followed up with me. I then searched, found, and retained Ms. Turnbull based on her Avvo reviews. I am so thankful that I did. The process entailed three visits - a consultation, review of draft, and then the final review/signing. In between appointments, she timely responded to my e-mail questions. During each step, she was always professional, highly organized, responsive, attentive, patient, and very thorough. She also had a very pleasant personality - very easy to talk too. Moreover, despite my many questions, I never felt rushed. Planning one's estate can be very stressful and confusing. She walked me through each step with much care and detail - even providing legal research results so that I could fully understand the particular issue/topic. What I particularly liked was the final review/signing. She put all the documents in a binder and provided a checklist/todolist as to completing the necessary tasks. This was truly a godsend and beyond helpful. Overall, I just can't say enough nice things about her as a person, as well as, about her as a highly skilled attorney. If you are looking for someone who will listen to and execute your objectives with care, compassion, and skill, then go with Ms. Turnbull - you won't regret it!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
