"I can't express enough appreciation for Mr. Turner. His help changed my life. I went in for a 2nd offense DUI and he was able to get it pleaded to a 1st offense. It saved my job and life trajectory. He was also able to get a couple other misdemeanors dropped completely. I know every case is different, he never made any promises other than he would work hard for me. He replied to every question I had within a couple hours. I couldn't recommend him enough. He is an extremely kind person, Im thankful I found him. Thank you so much, Mr. Turner."

"I am vey grateful for Mr. Johnathan Turner’s work leading to my very concerning charges getting dismissed and soon to be expunged! He is also representing me in my divorce. If you want an attorney with immense experience and talent, then I believe you could not do better than his representation! As experienced as he is, he still manages to quickly respond back when trying to reach him! I have been impressed by his intelligence! He thinks fast, and responds fast in trying situations in court; I think a part the reason of his success, not only for me, but also the success showed to be obvious when one looks in to all his record! Although he is extremely tough and assertive, he has also shown himself to be a good man, a family man, and will truly care about what happens to you! I have thought his fees reasonable! He also has a wonderful paralegal, Gina, who gives additional strong appeal to his representation! Thank you so much Mr. Turner as you continue representing me with the divorce and any wrapping up of the criminal matters!!! Definitely a five star attorney!"

"So I am a local business owner in the liquor and restaurant industry, and success is everything to me. Last January I had unexpected charges for things that I never did in my opinion, there were three felonies that could ruin the rest of my life and my company. I got arrested and the first thing I did when I bailed out was called Jonathan Turner. He immediately took the case. He was very real with me not guaranteed me anything, he said this sounds like a mess. And he was right it was a mess the the whole situation. Cops were making me out to be a criminal. When I am nothing but a business owner. Jonathan Turner took the lead, he was very good at letting me know what was going on, and that I’m up against serious charges. Three serious felonies that could ruin a business man’s life. The end result, as I just got probation no jail time served whatsoever, Jonathan Turner kicks ass, he is a brutal pitbull lawyer that will fight for you till the end. It doesn’t matter if you’re arrested for drag racing, extortion, racketeering, or even murder. Jonathan Turner is the attorney for you. He just has a way to win, and get you the best deal possible or get the case completely dismissed or dropped. Jonathan Turner has represented me for the last eight years and he has never let me down not even once, if you don’t hire him, you’re making a mistake. Best lawyer ever. Thank you, Jonathan, truly."
