He is the worst lawyer. DO NOT HIRE HIM. He will take your money and dodge you. No communication. I hired him for a case in Long County, and then also hired him for a ticket in Liberty County. This man will have you miss work for a court date he rescheduled with no communication. He charged me 5,000 for the case and 1,000 for the ticket. I paid a total of 5,100. My case in Long County was dismissed before the count date due to law enforcement. He agreed to refund me and then has ghosted me. After weeks of delay and broken promises. The excuse he used was he needed to load his cash app for weeks. He has went has far has blocking my number. HE IS A CRIMINAL. Don't hire him. I didnt think a 2,000 refund would take this long. He really owes me more than that. I have been waiting since March 12, 2026 for my refund. read more

Honestly wish I could leave No STARS , Completely Unprofessional, Unreliable, and Not Worth a Dime Working with this attorney has been a nightmare. After being paid--more than what was initially agreed--he completely ghosted me for over a month. No updates, no returned calls, no effort to reach out to the client's family, who were ready and willing to continue payments. I called and called, trying to get a response, but was met with silence. To make things worse, he never contacted the probation officer, which is basic due diligence in any case like this. The P.O. was actually upset about the lack of communication, and frankly, so was I. Why would anyone keep handing over money to a lawyer who doesn't do the bare minimum? No paperwork filed. No follow-up on new charges. No visit to the client, despite promising to do so. And yet, somehow, this lawyer still felt entitled to more money--even though nothing had been done since the first (and only) court appearance. I was upfront about my situation, payment timing, and even tried to coordinate with the client's mother and brother to make things work. But the communication was completely unprofessional. It was always me chasing for answers, and never once did I feel this case was treated with any priority or care. At this point, it's clear this lawyer didn't deserve what was already paid, let alone more. The lack of transparency, accountability, and basic follow-through is inexcusable. I've moved on to a new attorney--someone who actually communicates and does their job. Save yourself the stress. If you're considering hiring this attorney, don't. You deserve someone who will actually show up, follow through, and respect your time and money. read more

Had a DUI years ago hirer Joey Turner he did not help one bit wouldn't even send me any of the footage of my arrest. I'm guessing he never even looked at it and just took my money and ran beware!!!!! read more

Update: DO NOT I repeat DO NOT hire Joey! I wish I would have really paid attention to the bad reviews. He is unethical. He is a liar, and he will cheat you out of your time and money. He talks a good game, but once he has your money, the story changes. He doesn't do his job but feels like he is entitled to keep your money! Even with an arbitration order telling him to return your money, he will find a way to weasel out of it. He does what he wants,when when he wants, but his 90 days are over!! Please do your research on him. Start by going to the Chatham County Court site. You think you can wrong people and get away with it, but you are sadly mistaken. I'm taking you back to court and the next time I have to leave a review, I am going to post all court documents. 2021-My horror story sounds a lot like the rest of these reviews. Hired him January 2020 and fired him March 2021. In that time, the only thing he did for my case was send one email. He will take your money. He will miss court dates. He will lie about the work he is doing on your case. He will ignore your calls and miss appointments. Then, when you fire him, he will promise you a refund you will never get, block your calls, and hold your court file hostage so it makes it harder for you to move on. PLEASE file a grievance with the GA state bar. The more they hear his name, the more they will become aware of his behavior. Just go to the state bar website/For the public/File a complaint/Grievance. read more

Retained in concert with my sister in law to represent my brother. Initial retainer quote was 5k, which swelled to 6.5k in one week. The only thing this "lawyer" did was enter an order of appearance. He alleged he filed a motion for a bond hearing, he didn't. No such filing exists. My brother sat in jail til the state failed to deliver an indictment within 90 days. He knew under the law my brother would be afforded bond in 90 days and so he pretended to work the case after collecting money from both me and my sister in law for his retainer. Obviously my sister in law struggled with finances with her husband in jail. Mr. Turner was instructed to contact me if a monthly payment was missed, at which time I might step in the make the payment. Apparently payments were missed and I was never contacted. Mr. Turners excuse for not working the case was a "lack of payment" that could have been resolved with a phone call. Mr. Turner, one month after my brothers release on bond, tried to convince him to take a plea deal after charging a trial level retainer. How an attorney goes from ready for trial to advising a plea agreement is beyond me. Further, Mr Turner alleged he had information regarding the other party to the case; it turns out this was impossible because MR TURNER NEVER FILED FOR DISCOVERY. Way to drop the ball Turner. Mr. Turner fails to return calls and emails and does not keep abreast of events in his clients cases. An indictment was handed down in October. Mr. Turner didn't inform my brother that he had indeed been indicted, did not afford him notice of required court appearances and thus, my brother was handed a bench warrant for failure to appear. His attorney dropped the ball. If Mr. Turner had informed myself or my brother of the indictment, surrender would have been arranged and my brother could have stayed out on bond pending trial. Instead, due to Mr. Turners multiple failings, my brother was rearrested MONTHS later - a complete surprise - in front of his children. Further, he is now being denied bond, having been labeled a flight risk for failure to appear on a hearing he had NO NOTICE OF. In brief, we paid a couple thousand dollars for an entry of appearance (approximately .5 billable hours) and one jail visit (approximately 1 billable hour if you're feeling generous). This attorney ceased ALL communication within 60 days of receiving the initial payment and having not even worked enough billable hours to consume that payment. I have multiple emails and attempted phone calls with no response. Attorney does not send a monthly statement of billable hours. Further, he never even filed a withdrawal of appearance which left him as the attorney of record long after he stopped working the case; the new attorney had to file substitution of counsel. Client dumping is an ethics violation and if my money is not refunded, formal complaints with the State Bar as well as the ethics board will be forthcoming. Do not hire. If you are foolish enough to hire him, at least place your retainer on a credit card so you will have recourse to recoup your funds. read more

YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR MIND IF YOU HIRE JOEY. I have him admitting to lies, stole $3000 from me, admitted he had falsified documents and lied about pursuing issues that he hadn't done anything on! Joey will lie to your face and smile the entire time. I am filing a report with the Georgia Bar and taking him to court. If you are a victim of Joey's fraud I suggest you too file a complaint with the Georgia Bar. read more

i am rating him 1 star because there is nothing lower. But he doesn't deserve even 1 star. THE ABSOLUTE WORST ATTORNEY EVER ! Mr. Turner willingly took our upfront payment for his service but continually failed to assist us with our case. Before hiring Mr. Turner I asked his case load and he stated that he never handled more client that would cause him to not be available when we needed him for court. I asked for a simple weekly update, something as simple as "No Changes, and he agreed yet 97% of my phone calls, emails, and texts went unanswered. We had 5 court dates within a 20 Month period and he was unavailable and cancelled them all. He always notified us of the cancellations the night before the scheduled court date. Although he told us he was in Liberty County normally ONCE A WEEK for court, when we finally got a court date the Judge apologized to the court workers stating that this was a special session set up because "It's hard to get Mr Turner to Liberty County for COURT", We told Mr. Turner we wanted to take this to trial because he stated that we had a very winnable case and he said it would be best to have a jury trial because the locals did not really like the police. A year later when we again said we wanted to go to trial he said that a Bench Trial would be better because the locals really supported the police. The last time we talked he flipped again back to jury trial. He kept telling us the longer this stalled the better as the police officers might not remember the exact details and the errors in the police report would be more in our favor. When we did finally get a call from him with a court date(Wednesday night for Friday court) we thought this was for jury selection or actually beginning of the trial. He knew that after stalling us for 20 months we wanted this finally settled. Yet when we got there Mr Turner was very EMPHATIC in the fact that accepting a plea was best for us. He reversed everything he had told us about the judges rulings and the possible penalties if we did not win. Wanting to have this finished we did accept the plea because we realized that Mr Turner had no intention of vigorously defending us as he had stated hr would do when we hired him. Unfortunately as an elderly retired couple we did not have the resources to fire him and hire a different attorney. Otherwise, we surely would have and seen if his in actions would have qualified as MALPRACTICE. I could have explained all the other lies and misrepresentations but there are just too many. I do find it interesting that HIS website has a few 5 star reviews but that there is no way to leave a new review. Any other review site I have seen he has been lucky to get 1 star reviews. I just wish these review had been available 2 years ago. It would have saved us a lot of time, money and aggravation. read more

Just wanted to give an update that since my post this is attorney finally did contact us and where he had claimed the case had been dismissed the end result was my mom being on probation and having to pay restitution because he could not provide the proper documentation even after he said that he would take care of it to this day I still would not recommend him Has asked me twice to remove the review and at one point I was going to if he kept his word and returned a phone call to my mom asking for the new court papers and he has yet to do so the only phone call that has been received was to me asking me to remove the review The only reason I'm getting a starter is because it requires you to read more

Professional and respectful. Took a great deal of time to explain the situation, what our plan was and potential outcomes. Can't say thank you enough to Joey Turner for his dedication and help. As a family member of one of his clients, I never felt out of the loop and I always knew what was going on. He was there for the before, during and after... helping us navigate these uncharted waters. read more
