Attorney

Leslie Turnage is an exceptional estate planning attorney who made the entire process seamless and stress-free. She took the time to thoroughly explain every detail in plain language, ensuring I fully understood my options and felt confident in my decisions. Leslie’s professionalism, deep knowledge..., and attention to detail were evident in the customized estate plan she created for me. I highly recommend Leslie Turnage, Attorney at Law.

Mentee

I had the privilege of being mentored by Mrs. Turnage during my first year of law school. From the moment I started my journey under her guidance, I was deeply impressed by her unwavering commitment to her clients and her relentless pursuit of justice. Beyond Mrs. Turnage's legal prowess, what truly ...distinguishes her is her genuine care for those she represents. She leads by example, inspiring those around her to strive for excellence. Her mentorship simply goes beyond mere instruction; she fosters growth, instilling in her mentees the values of integrity, diligence, and perseverance. Because of this, I can't recommend her highly enough!

Outstanding Education Consultant!

To be a good lawyer is to follow the old saying, “it isn't only about what you know but about who you know.” For that reason, Leslie Stone Turnage is not just a good lawyer; she is among the best! I first met Attorney Turnage as a first-year law student who, as I look back, did not really know anyth...ing about anything. Despite that naïvety, however, Attorney Turnage saw something in me and took me under her wing. Since then, her impact on my legal education cannot be understated. Above all else, Attorney Turnage’s expertise and empathy have provided direction for my career, and as a result, I am going into my 1L summer having secured a paid federal judicial internship, become a moot court champion, and landed an internship with the Federal Public Defender. I have only known Attorney Turnage for almost a year now, and in that time, I have been granted access opportunities only available to students at the top law schools in the nation. I am truly grateful to Leslie Stone Turnage for changing the trajectory of my career in such a meaningful way.

Amazing!

Leslie Turnage is amazing. Very professional and organized. She explained the process thoroughly and was ready to answer any questions whenever I had questions. She is very quick to answer questions. She helped me with transferring the property from my parents to me since they didn’t have a will. Th...ank you so much, Leslie!

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.
