Exceeds Expectations

I went to Mr. Thurman to handle my DWI charge. He was very professional handling the situation. He made sure I understood all situations of my case. His communication was very open and informative. I always could count on him to answer any questions I had. I would recommend Mr. Thurman to anyone... that needs a lawyer.

Straight Forward and Honest

I was referred to Mr. Thurman through a friend in St. Louis, and was so happy for that connection. Mr. Thurman told me of the possible outcomes and directions we could pursue and was very honest with everything. He was very attentive in returning calls and answering every question I had. He went a...bove and beyond my expectations and I would use Mr. Thurman in the future in a heartbeat, but hopefully I won't have anymore run ins with the law.

I don't usually mess with these reviews but this one is worth my time.

Mr. Thurman has represented me three times in the last five years and I have been very pleased with how he handels himself, his decisions and the outcome of every case! He will definatly be the only lawyer I will ever use. Darrell

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.
