Great Family Lawyer

Family-related legal issues are often an emotional rollercoaster. Shanin is personable, understanding, and patient with her clients. She explains the processes. When seeking help in family-related issues you may be emotionally vulnerable. You can trust Shanin to guide you with expertise. She will kee...p you focused because she tries to be cost-conscious. Shanin is experienced and knowledgeable and will advocate for you. Her fees are reasonable. I can tell you from my own experiences that some attorneys I have encountered do not demonstrate any genuine desire to fight for their clients as they should, or even as thoroughly as they should. Shanin Turner is not one of those types of attorneys. She responds to me in a timely manner, and she explains things to me in easy-to-understand terms. I trust Shanin Turner to represent my best interests in all family-related legal actions and I highly recommend her.

Very judgmental

When answering a question perhaps it's best to not be an arrogant person. You knew no details other than the question asked and you assume to accuse us of failing when obviously the systems in place for these types of things failed. You can't blame parents for bad upbringing when you have no clue wha...t you speak of. Shame on you and your practice for being so rude and condensing on a parent that is trying to save his child's life!

Thank you for your review. To be clear, you and I have NEVER met, you have NEVER personally scheduled a time to consult with me or had a consult with me. You and I have no attorney-client relationship. You DID ask a question on a free attorney advice Avvo site. You asked this free forum how you can go about suing the Texas Child Protective Services and the Police. I am the only attorney who responded to your question. I'm sorry you did not like my answer. I do not feel that I deserved the comments you left on my Avvo site. I wish you the best.

Wonderful divorce attorney

Shanin was easy to work with and made a difficult time much easier. She answered questions in a timely matter and was always available. She really listens to her clients and takes the time to get to get to know them. I would highly recommend her to anyone that is going through a divorce.

Best in the business

Shanin is a very thorough and competent attorney who always had my best interests in mind. I was always informed and I always felt like I was in very good hands. What I especially liked about Shanin, was her ability to keep me calm.

Shanin Turner exemplifies 'The Wright Firm' literally!

Shanin Turner and her Paralegal Jean Skinner could not have been a more perfect team for my case. Their patience, communication and prompt attention to my case made the process very low stress. I took a risk without having much time to research Lawers or Firms. However, I was more than pleased wit...h how Shanin handled my case especially with keeping me so involved. I can now give an honest recommendation that Shanin will meet your needs effectively as you work with her. I am glad I took the risk and landed with a candidate that understood my needs and emotional stress as well. Shanin walked me through the process with ease and more importantly LOW Stress.
