Clients Beware!
I paid E. Lee Turner $5,000 in four months to represent my son in a criminal matter. Before I hired him He and I spoke about what his approach to the case would be, but after I had hired him, he did absolutely nothing that he was hired to do. Now he will not give the $5,000 back. I see that as legalized stealing. By the way, just to be clear, I am talking about the E. Lee Turner who used to be a police officer!
Lee Turner lied to me about a federal law, taking advantage of my layperson status, trying to get me to talk my son into taking a plea deal after he did not put in the work on the case. I felt like he did not value my son’s case and should not have accepted it if he was not going to actually defend him. However, he wanted our money, and that is plain wrong!!!
I had to fight for four solid weeks to get him to see my son and then he pops up with a plea deal, arguing with my son (his client) and me, overlooking inconsistencies in the case that he should have challenged through motions. I did find that when he had a high profile case, he knew how to file motions and challenge inconsistencies.
The worse part is that he visited my son only three times in four months, filed no motions, had a poor knowledge of the case. He personifies the word evil because he refuses to give me any money back. How did he earn it when going off on his own, not caring or researching and then without my son’s consent, went to the DA to get a plea deal. Turner advised (threatened me) to be careful where I post my accusations saying that he has an excellent reputation in this community and at the courthouse. What exactly does that mean? Should I be looking over my shoulders?
Well, Lee Turner, I tried to negotiate with you, I asked you to be fair and at least offer to return some money. Now, I want others to know about you. I do not want another family to be subjected to your kind of defense. You betrayed your own client and profited from what he has not earned.

Overall
Professionalism or rip off

I paid Mr. Turner $750 over five months ago of my money and have not heard from him or his office. I've called and sent various and still no response. Im scared that he has ripped me off. I didn't want to leave a negative review because I believed he is as awesome as the other post indicated. Now I'm out of $750 hard earned dollars and don't know if he'll resolve this matter. This is my last hour that he or his office will call me back. I really just want to help me with my legal matter but after six months of no response or call back I don't know what else to do. Please Mr. Turner let me know something or refund me money so that I seek representation that will help me resolve my legal masters.
