One of the Good Guys

My wife and I were charged with a crime for non-permitted rental real estate. The non-permitted portion of the home was built between 1969 and 1978. The city made us either tear down 1/4 of the house or bring it up to code. Though Greg is not a real-estate specialist but, he has all the right ...connections. He advised us how to get through the legal battle by bringing the house up to code. And, while re-construction proceeded, he kept on top of all legal matters with the city. In the end, the city settled the matter much to our satisfaction. And, he didn't nickel and dime us in the process.

To make a long story short the DEA paid me an unexpected visit and really tried to ruin my life. I spoke to many Lawyers before talking to Greg Turner. Choosing Greg to represent me was the best decision I could have made. The DA was trying to put me away for six and a half years and thanks to Mr.... Turner I did not do one single day in jail. I owe him a good portion of my life! If your freedom means alot to you I suggest giving him a call if you find yourself in a sticky situation. Mr. Turner was very upfront and honest about my case and the price. He even encouraged me to shop around other lawyers. Greg treated me more like a friend than a client and made me feel at ease about my case where all the other lawyers I spoke to used scare tactics. I felt that he actually cared out the outcome and not just a payday. He is not the cheapest but in my opinion he is the very best! This guy is a pittbull in the court room and seemed to know all the players on the other team. He is the reason I am able to type this right now from the comfort of my home and not from some computer in a state prison. Thank you so very, very much Greg Turner.
