NOT RECOMMENDED

My wife and I used Mr. Turner's services in the context of modifying an existing custody order. Mr. Turner failed to plead one of our allegations properly, as he admittedly did not consult the Texas Family Code before filing our pleading. The other side responded with a special exception, meaning tha...t there was a defect in our pleading. Most clients would probably view this as a normal legal tactic used by opposing counsel. However, my wife (an attorney) informed me that Mr. Turner had mispled the elements of that specific allegation, the elements which were easily obtainable from the Family Code. Mr. Turner indicated that we could easily remedy the situation with an amended pleading, which we would be charged for. When asked why he didn't consult the Family Code to correctly plead this particular cause of action the first time, he indicated that there were "no rules" in family law. When asked if he would waive his fee for the second pleading due to his firm's error, he refused. At that point, we switched firms and were able to obtain a satisfactory result with alternate counsel. Sometimes legal strategies don't pan out, and an attorney may have to file additional pleadings as a matter of course. However, when your attorney chooses not to consult the governing body of statutes and rules for the type of law that he practices at your expense, that is another matter altogether. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Mr. Turner's legal services in the area of family law.

Excellent representation from Travis L. Turner

I would love to recommend Travis L. Turner, Attorney at Law, who specializes in family law. I was referred to Travis for legal representation during my divorce. I am thankful for his help and know the outcome was successful because of the job he did. No one plans on their marriage coming to an end... and when that occurs, a flood of emotions can easily overtake common sense and logical thinking. This is where having Travis as your attorney makes the difference. Right from the start, Travis became my advocate, providing a high level of comfort due to his experience and expertise in family law. I found Travis to listen carefully, respond quickly to my questions and concerns, possess excellent research skills that produced the best legal strategies and the professional presence in the court room to achieve the best outcome for my son and I. Both Travis and his staff were genuine and professional at all times. Since my divorce, I have sought his legal representation again and am thankful to have him standing next to me in court. Travis is passionate about law and representing his clients for their greatest good. I highly recommend Travis L. Turner.
