Steven Erik Turner

My husband and I met Steve a few years ago. He was highly recommended by another one of his clients. Steve was very "straight-forward" with us and realistic about the land dispute we had. Steve has great communication skills and always kept us informed during its highs and lows. He guided us through ...this entire process. At times, one does not want to hear things from their lawyer regarding their case but Steve through his calm demeanor helped with our anxieties about our situation. Our outcome on this case was positive!

I was trying to collect damages from an aggressive tree trimmer my neighbor had hired. After a while I just wanted to move on. Steven knew I had a case and kept at it on his own by replying to emails sent to him by the insurance company. Nearly a year later he contacted me about collecting for the d...amage. What more could you ask for?

Mr. Turner brought suit for me and gave me very realistic expectations for our chances of success. Over the course of about a year, the defendant applied several delay tactics but in the end they settled out of court with me. The combination of Mr. Turner's very competent counsel, decades of court ex...perience, and my desire to have him earn my money instead of letting the software company steal my money, proved to be a winning combination. I'm glad I filed suit. This is the only time I have filed suit against another party in my 27 years of doing business. I would wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Turner's as sound legal counsel.

I owe my most sincere gratitude to Mr. Turner for representing me on an issue charged by the State's Dental Commission, that should have never been charged. The State has given the power for the Commission to the be judge, jury and executioner. Mr. Turner is a professional who I highly recommend ...for anyone who finds themselves up against this daunting force. He's a man of integrity that knows how to navigate the law and delicately deal with a Commission that counts on the vast resources of the government, able to force a potentially very expensive legal battle, just because they can. Washington State Dental Quality Assurance Commission (DQAC) conducted an investigation, citing unprofessional conduct against my dental license, which I've maintained in good standing for 23 years without a single mark. They requested I settle the matter informally with a Stipulation to Informal Disposition (STID) to avoid a hearing, giving a small amount of time to accept their STID before moving on charges. I retained Mr. Turned to assist with the matter who found the punishment was highly unusual, given no data was available showing the State has reprimanded a single licensed professional for the issue I was being accused. Statistically, the complaint used as the basis for their investigation is one of the five most commonly cited complaints made against a licensed professionals nationally and of the 500 complaints filed annually in the State of WA, it is among the 470 complaints that are dropped, with only 30 complaints warranting review and only 5 that are elevated to charges for serious crimes. Agreeing to the STID will forever damage my reputation in a category that is reserved for serious crimes of incompetence, negligence, convictions, gross misdemeanor, felony, fraud, willful betrayal and misuse of drugs. Mr. Turner conducted an extensive legal research and communicated with the State's staff attorney, demonstrating the Stipulation does not fall into any of the categories of reportable action. The State held firm, stating the issue was not up for negotiation, so Mr. Turner recommended we let them know we are prepared to proceed to court. The State responded with a letter, dropping all charges, electing to issue a Notice of Correction instead.

I hired Mr Turner for a dispute with the developer/HOA where I was building a house. I interviewed and talked to 3 others before him, but he was the only one that seemed to know how to approach the case and understood my concerns and preferred way of dealing with the situation. He did research and... found similar cases to mine that had won their disputes, and created a document reviewing everything and the legal research, and sent it to the lawyer of the other party, who agreed to our reasonable demands. Mr Turner saved me time and money, and I would hire him again and recommend him anytime.
