Defective Product Injury Case

I was extremely impressed with Turner's responsiveness and ability to navigate my complex legal situation with skill and compassion. Turner truly went above and beyond to achieve the best possible result for me. I would not have thought my injury could ever happen to myself or anyone else for that ma...tter, Turner assured me along the way and held the company responsible. Turner and Randy are honest, give advice in your best interests, and will fight for you.

Excellent Team, Attorney R. Turner Johnston and Sorrels Law Firm,

After an auto accident, I was blessed to have been referred to Attorney Johnston and Sorrells law firm by another attorney's office. The professional and personal care shown to me by you and your Team has been heartwarming. You all have taken a very stressful time and made it bearable. Communication ...was excellent. Any questions/concerns were answered promptly. The outcome was so much better than I would have imagined. Thank you!!!!

The most compassionate attorney I've ever met!!

My ex-husband and I received the call NO PARENTS ever want to receive. Our amazing son, Steven C. Gambles II was murdered and we needed answers!! Fortunately for us we had a team of attorneys and police officers that put the murderer behind bars but it was the Sorrells law group and Attorney Turn...er Johnston that heard our cry as parents and took our son's murder, our personal loss and the pain of our youngest son, Marcus, to heart. Attorney Johnston was honest and clear regarding all facts of our case but he made a commitment to us that he and his team fulfilled completely!! When you are faced with the most painful and unfair situation a person can imagine, the representation you need is R. Turner Johnston, he is more than an attorney!!!!

Turner Johnston

Turner Johnston Is a go getter and gets things done efficiently and communicates very well. I’m glad we were blessed to work with him and team. I heard stories of other situations and how our type of situation could drag out but this certainly was very quick and easy. We provided in take infor...mation and felt like our hand was held throughout the process. Great job to Turner Johnston and team!

Solid Representation Helped Save our Home

Attorney Turner came to our rescue when there was injustice on the sale of our home. He was incredibly professional, informative and forthcoming. We were not experts. Turner patiently explained all options with background information and insured we made informed decisions. I very much appreciated him... utilizing contacts and hiring subject matter experts when he noted a knowledge gap. Many lawyers have an egotistical or condescending presence, not Turner. He was always very down to earth with a personal touch asking about our newborn daughter and being understanding of our crazy sleepless schedule. Thank you Turner for all your hard work and helping us receive justice!
