Two words... Awful attorney!

I strongly advise against using Andrew Turner as your attorney. My experiences with him have been nothing short of disastrous. In two separate cases, the outcomes went from bad to worse, and I ended up losing over 100% in assets, including my home and a camper. Despite Texas law favoring a 50% div...ision of assets in cases like mine—where there were no children, a brief marriage, and a significant disparity in tax brackets—Andrew Turner failed to effectively advocate for me. Instead, I was told that Judge Plumlee was punishing me, but after reviewing my divorce transcripts, it became clear that Andrew Turner's incompetence played a major role in the outcome. Here are just a few of the glaring issues I faced: - He neglected to enter crucial evidence, like my house payment check stubs. - He failed to disclose all the evidence presented by the opposing counsel. - He did not object or question much of the damaging evidence against me. - He overlooked the fact that the opposing counsel had an expert witness ready to testify. - He did not defend my interests regarding an IRA that was misrepresented by the other side. Ultimately, Andrew Turner admitted this was his worst outcome ever. Instead of receiving fair representation, I felt like I was led into a trap. After the hearing, the judge even questioned why my case had been rescheduled multiple times, while Andrew Turner misled me about the circumstances, giving the opposing counsel time to prepare. If I had known the extent of Andrew Turner’s incompetence, I would have sought out a more capable firm. Save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere for legal representation. You’ve been warned!

Best Bang for the BUCK!

Mr. Turner was recommended to me by some one on Nextdoor. I just asked my wife for a divorce, and didn't know where to turn for the next step. It was like finding a Consumer Reports Best Buy in legal services. He isn't the cheapest, but he wasn't the most expensive either. His value proved itself... many times over. If you find yourself looking for an attorney, please consider him. My wife hired a one of those expensive lawyers, ranked as one of the top 100 Lawyers of Texas, and fought over the garden hose. From my initial meeting with Atty Turner, I knew I had some one on my side. Little did he know how contentious this divorce would be, yet, he stuck through it till the end, and despite my wife spending tens of thousands of dollars on her “high powered” attorney, she still had to pay me to end the marriage. It took almost 18 months, endless discovery, mediation, and a bit of frustration, but he never gave up. All my friends said men don't get a fair shake in divorce here in Texas. I think that's because they didn't hire Attorney Andrew Turner, of the Turner law Firm.

Excellent Lawyer

I had an opportunity to work with Atty. Andrew Turner. I had an out of state custody case. Since I was long distance, we spoke several times via phone. Mr. Turner was well knowledgeable and took my case without even meeting me in person. I thought that was very admirable. I am grateful that he was... able to take my case. For the second hearing, I was able to meet with him and trusted his advice. Well, we came out victorious! Thanks so much Mr. Turner. If I ever need counsel again within the Dallas area, I wouldn't hesitate to reach out again.

Professional and experienced.

I hired Mr. Turner for a custody case. He is very knowledgeable and explains everything along the way. He received lots of phone calls from me asking several questions and patiently he always replies. The case went great and he got us great results than anticipated.
