Job Well Done

I was referred to Richard Turner by another attorney for representation on a personal injury claim resulting from an automobile accident wherein I was hit while riding my bike . Richard and his staff, most noteably paralegal Diane Lundbeck , always kept me informed about the progress of my suit. I re...ceived regular updates via email on every facet of my case as it moved forward as well as live telephone contact. Once we arrived at the point where we could make a settlement demand, Richard took great care and time to explain our options to me. Following Richard's counsel my case resulted in reaching a conclusion that I am extremely pleased with. I have been an active Realtor for over 40 years and as such I have worked with many attorneys during my real estate career and Richard ranks as one of the best that I have had the pleasure to deal with.

Great job on personal injury case

I was in a terrible car accident and sustained many injuries. Mr Turner met with us as soon as I was out of hospital and rehab facility. He worked with us at all stages of the process. He and his staff did all of the legwork needed to expedite my claim and make it as easy as possible for us. All ...we had to do was provide insurance bills and doctors names; he handled all of the rest. It took almost 2 1/4 years (I am told that that is fast) to get my settlement, but he kept us informed at every step. At the end, the settlement was in the upper range of his initial estimate of value. His experience was of utmost comfort to us at all times. I hope I never have to use his services again, but I would be perfectly comfortable doing so. If anyone ever asks me for a recommendation, Turner and Sackett Law Firm will be my choice.

Happy Ending

I was advised to contact Mr. Turner's office from another lawyer. Rick, Diane and the rest of the staff kept me well-informed during the process. They helped me get the additional medical help necessary in order to complete the healing I desired, and of course the legal help to bring my case to a f...airly paid conclusion. If I would ever need legal assistance again for an injury, without a doubt, I would return to Turner & Sackett Law Offices.

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.
