Get that Divorce DONE!

Divorce is a tumultuous process, especially when dealing with a complex case and high conflict personalities. Travis Turner and his team are serious professionals! They are intensely thorough and protect their client from every angle. Not a single detail is overlooked, and I ended up with a MAJOR win...! To accomplish this in 8 months, we beat Texas' average length of divorce of 11 months. And most impressive is their responsiveness. I never waited more than 24 for a reply. Many times within a few hours. If anything, they were reaching out to me often to hear from me. Expect a complete, thorough and efficient legal process with Travis.

Professional, capable, and trustworthy.

After a poor experience with not one but two (!) other attorneys in Austin, I reached out to Travis for help tying up loose ends from my divorce. He & his team got the job done quickly, and because they were so efficient, my limited engagement cost me much less than I expected. Travis and his team... are communicative, available, and thorough. I especially appreciated how Travis always treated me with respect and listened to my concerns, offering sound guidance and setting realistic expectations. Divorce is already emotionally and financially taxing, and choosing the wrong attorney can amplify that exponentially. If you're looking for a calm, steady presence during a challenging season, look no further than the folks at Burnett Turner. I'm grateful that I've finally found a team that I'm proud to have in my corner.

Best Divorce Attorney I have ever worked with.

Unfortunately I have employed 7 divorce attorneys over the course of my life. With the exception of Travis Turner, I have been disappointed by all of them. They don't do the work, they miss details, they don't seem to care, and they charge me $300 to ask me how my day is going. Travis is not only ...the most compassionate, and honest attorney that I have ever worked with, he is also supremely talented at his job. He gets things done quickly and efficiently. He is smarter, more clever, and more up on the law than any attorney I have ever worked with. Perhaps the best thing about Travis though is his personality and sincerity. Divorces are characteristically unpleasant and often a miserable experience. It's an odd thing to say, but I actually had fun working with Travis. Not only would I recommend Travis to anyone, I would tell anyone that chooses any attorney over Travis is being foolish. Travis also, more than paid for his professional fees--due to the enormous amount of savings he created in my settlement. Sincerely, Kirk R., M.D.

Divorce

Travis made a difficult scenario very easy to deal with, he always had my best interests at hand and I would not hesitate in recommending him to anyone that is looking for representation. He saved me thousands by being professional, respectful and keeping me informed along the way.

Posted by Jerry | April 30, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Travis provided excellent representation

Divorce is never easy even if amicable. There are always complexities and it was so settling and reassuring to have Travis navigate me through the entire process. He is very easy to talk with and never passes judgment. He just want to find a path for you that results in a fair settlement. During ...the process I could focus on other important aspects of my life such as work since I knew Travis was on top of my case and making sure everything was proceeding properly. Gina, his paralegal, was also an important part of the team. She was always very calming when there were aspects of the process which I did not understand or times when I was concerned. She really helped me focus on what was most important. Divorce is never easy but no matter the situation Travis and Gina are a great team. They will help you navigate the process to a fair settlement and most importantly give you the confidence that your matters are being properly handled.
