Ineffective counsel - promises info that never appears

The attorney kept promising my son information on an experienced psychologist whose statement would have made a SUBSTANTIAL difference in his sentencing. He received 27 years for what - at most - should have been 15. Later that same year another one of Mr. Turpel's defendants had his guilty verdict o...verturned because of ineffective counsel and never delivered promised expert testimony.

Habeas Collateral review

Had me plead guilty to a drug case that was a slam dunk throw out!! I mean a lawyer’s dream!! I even got the dash camera video of the illegal search and seizure myself and presented it to this guy via FOI!!! What more could you ask for! Asked me turpel to file a motion to suppress and he looked at me... like I was speaking Chinese or something!!! I’ve been told it’s to late to try and get this review or any amount of help I can get!! You are ruining lives!! U kno who I am I’m sure so please just help someone and don’t put them in the position I’m in due to ineffective counsel!!! Do what’s right in court today!!! And I myself talked to the judge and got my sentence down to 1 year probation and no fines!!! He had negotiated 2 years probation and about 7k in fines lol jokes on me!! U were wrong and deep down u kno it and kno my case was beatable!! Do what’s run court and stop plea dealing your way to retirement!!! It’s not right!!! If there’s anything you can do or advice you can give on helping me get this felony off my record email me! Do the right thing I’m sure you’re not a bad guy you’re just going thru the motions and I understand!!! It’s the system but it starts with the people in it

Client review

Terrible lawyer. I was appointed him by the courts. He cared nothing about me or my case. Did NOTHING to try and get my charges reduced or anything that I asked him. Completely blind sighted me in court getting me 30 days in jail, 18 months probation, & thousands of dollars in court fees for my FIRST... offense. I ended up having to spend another $5000 to hire a REAL lawyer to undo his damage. I would not reccomend him to my worst enemy.
