Terrible Experience

In Ms. Turner’s decision, she told us we were within our legal rights to do what we did, but we shouldn’t have done it. Ms. Turner’s job is to interpret the law, not play God. She is wrong to apply her own personal moral judgement, to actions that we legally were allowed to take. Additionally, s...he clearly lacks the business acumen and to understand how banks work, and she ordered us to make changes to our accounts that banks would not support and therefore we could not do, leading to further attorney involvement. We lost hundreds of thousands of dollars because of her poor judgement.

"Elizabeth is a hard-working, diligent attorney who will give her all for her clients. I worked with her on several matters, and her attention to detail was amazing. She was able to see the pros and cons of each matter, which made her more capable of fighting for her side. I believe she would be good at any matter she undertook."

Divorce and separation lawyer | Dec 01

Relationship: Co-worker

"Ms. Turner worked with me for almost 8 years. She provided exemplary counsel. I worked with Ms. Turner at the Washington State Bar Association's Law Fund for Client Protection. Our fund was her client, and her dedication to researching each issue we faced was amazing. Ms. Turner is personable, caring, incredibly professional, and EXTREMELY knowledgeable. Ms. Turner ultimately achieved a leadership role in the national organization for our fund. I know her knowledge and experience with family law proceedings, performance in the courtroom, and overall representation to be no less than outstanding. Anyone who has her as an advocate is as fortunate as our fund was for the many years she served us."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
