I violated my probation and was unjustifiable sentenced to my 11 month 29 days without being convicted of my original charge. He appealed it; which most judges aren?t used to in Davidson County on probation violations. He got me in front of a judge that followed protocol and dismissed my original sentence the first judge hit me hard with. Hire Jonathan he will work hard for you and make sure your rights aren?t violated.

Mr Turner represented me on my criminal case a year ago and fought aggressively for justice to get the desired outcome. Mr Turner also represented me on an Order of Protection and Annulment hearing against my abusive ex to get desired outcomes as well. My family and children are now safe because of his representation and his law firm. All staff in his law firm are more than approachable and have quick communication. Mr Turner knows the law and is quick and savvy during trial. Mr Turner is highly respected in the community and Williamson County, TN. This shows in his work and professionalism. I highly recommend this lawyer.

Mr. Turner helped me with a dui case in Chatham County, this will go down as the most traumatizing experience, I felt I was at lost here, someone recommended me Mr. Turner and I faithfully called him and asked him to take my case, the whole situation was difficult, he put all his knowledge into it and after a long way we got it completely dismissed. I will forever be grateful for his help. And now I can move one from this and pray I never get in a legal situation again. But if you are going through it you hire Mr. Turner and let him do his job for you.

Jonathan Turner is an amazing attorney. I hired him to defend me for a 2nd offense DUI charge which occurred in Dickson, TN. I had several other charges pending also. Not only did Mr Turner get my DUI dismissed he also was able to reduce my other charges to probation and community service. If you're looking for an excellent attorney who will work hard to defend you then I highly recommend you hire Jonathan.

Jonathan by damn Taylor is a rock star. It's what I call him. I was in fear of some hard time for having been pulled over for DUI and possession of marijuana. Multiple DUI offenses. And my attorney Mr Taylor truly saved my butt. Unsupervised probation was a slap on the wrist. He definitely knows the ins and outs of the DUI laws.

I highly recommend hiring him for legal representation! All I can say is that I'm a difficult individual and can be a lot to handle...I question everything and trust nobody but Johnathan Turner is an exception to that policy. I had a mess of a case with some pretty serious allegations and was feeling hopeless about the truth being brought to light. He showed up and cool, calm & collected. He was very direct and straight forward. He went to bat for me and I couldn't ask for better results. He knows the system and is good at what he does. Definitely a good person to have in your corner & I'm very thankful that he was in mine! You're the man Johnathan!

As an attorney Jonathan knows his stuff. I received a DUI in Maury County. It was my 2nd in nearly 10 years. Jonathan got it down to a 1st offense with no jail time but time serviced at the DUI center, which is like a hotel, unsupervised probation and restricted license for a year. I could of been locked away for 45 days or more. I would recommend Jonathan to anyone facing DUI charges. It works with the DA in a manner that is proactive and benefits you.

Let me tell you...Jonathan is a super hero! If you ever have to deal with DCS, and you need an attorney for family law, and want to get your kids back...I highly recommend Jonathan. I made a mistake, and relapsed. I felt like my world was crashing down on me. I just about lost hope, until Jonathan walked into the court room. I felt such a peace come over me. This man is a genius. He knows what he's doing. Take it from me...if you have a run in with DCS, you need an excellent attorney. There hasn't been 1 time that he hasn't responded, promptly, to my text, email, etc...Don't waste your time with looking for an attorney anywhere else. Jonathan is your guy. I can't thank him enough. Absolutely amazing!

I was charged with a dui 2nd just outside of Nashville. I was charged with a 2nd even though I did not have a first on my record anymore in my homestate, as it had been so long it had fallen off and even though I was not in the vehicle but rather in someone else's vehicle up the tf old from my inoperable vehicle. Due to the jailtime that comes with this charge I was very nervous and scared. I have 4 children and a business to run in my home state. Jonathon made the whole process much easier for me. He kept me upto date with what was going on in my case and had several appearances waived for me. He was able to get the charge dropped to a wreckless endangerment with no jail time and 40 community service. I'm am so thankful that we hired Jonathon nand would highly recommend to anyone in need. asmine

Mr. Turner was an amazing lawyer. He is very knowledgeable about the DUI process in Williamson county and throughout middle Tennessee. He kept great communication throughout the entire process and was always there to answer my questions. He was able to get the DA to drop my DUI charge when my minimum sentence was 7 days in jail, breathalyzer in my vehicle for a year, community service, and suspended license. I ended up walking away with only minimum court fees and NO DUI on my record. Thank you so much Mr. Turner!

Found myself in a suddenly sticky situation for the first time ever that raised a lot of worries for me, and without hesitation decided to hire Jon Turner to represent me. This was one of the best decisions I?ve ever made as he ended up working out a great deal with the DA which consists of me doing an anger management assessment along with a automatic dismissal of my case in 6 months with no conviction. I couldn?t have wished for a greater outcome. He knows what he?s doing and assures you of that through the process. I can?t thank you enough. Hire him if you ever find yourself needing an attorney and show up to court and let him work his magic.

I consulted with Mr. Turner on a legal issue that arose and he quickly navigated the legal process to give me the best possible outcome even as an out of stater. From the first conversation we had, I was convinced that he?s very knowledgeable and confident in his abilities as an attorney. Whenever I needed to speak with him he would immediately pick up the phone himself (instead of going through a secretary) or return my message in a very prompt manner. He worked with the DA before the court date and already had a deal worked out when we arrived at the courthouse so we were done within an hour. I highly recommend him if you are seeking an attorney who will fight for your rights and not just look for the easiest outcome, there?s a reason he?s so highly rated.

Our family member found himself in sudden, serious legal trouble due to his own carelessness and the police officer?s mistaken report. Things did not look good! Jonathan had helped us previously with a non-criminal matter so we contacted him immediately. He worked with the DA to get an outcome that was fair and reasonable - getting our family member released from jail yet holding him accountable for his carelessness in reporting. Jonathan focused on both short-term and long-term benefits: getting our family member out of jail quickly to keep his job, with additional reporting requirements to strengthen his recovery process. We highly, highly recommend Jonathan Turner!

Hire Jonathan Turner- you won't regret it. He got my case completely dismissed. I went into court thinking pre-trial diversion would be the best possible outcome I could hope for on my case, but Jonathan went above and beyond- he fought for me and ended up getting my case dismissed and expunged completely without any fines or court costs within 2 hours on my first court date. I can?t thank him enough for his help and providing me with the opportunity to move forward from this incident. I have never been in trouble before, so I was incredibly stressed throughout the whole process, but he made me feel as comfortable as possible & communicated openly and honestly with me. He was easy to work with, always communicated with me, responded to questions quickly & always directly gave me the information I needed to hear. I hope to never be in a situation where I need a lawyer again, but if I am- I would absolutely hire Jonathan. I'd suggest him to anyone who needs a lawyer- he will go to bat for you.

Last fall, I took over the wheel of my designated driver, since I had only had two drinks at the local music venue. Big mistake! As I interviewed Attorneys, most told me all the things they knew I wanted to hear. Unlike the other attorneys, Jonathan Turner said, ?It does not matter if this is your first offense. What matters is the merit of the case. I think I can help you.? I believe that?s why Jonathan is so respected, both in and out of the courtroom. He is very direct, honest and somehow also compassionate. Yesterday, I walked into a courtroom confident Jonathan would do his best to represent me, and today I have my life back. If you?re reading his reviews and wondering if too good to be true, I can tell you they?re not. Jonathan Turner is the best!

I found myself in an unfortunate situation and in need of a great DUI attorney. I?ve never had any need for an attorney, so I had to do in depth research on my choice. Mr. Turner had the best reviews out of the 20 + attorneys. We chose him because of his background and his reviews on this matter. On my court date, he did everything to get me the best possible outcome. The outcome was more than I could ever hope for and I owe it all to him! He was able to get it reduced to wreck-less driving in a situation where we didn?t think it was possible. Mr.Turner was responsible for lifting this heavy burden off of me where I can have a normal life again! I was beyond thankful God put him in my path!

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level
- Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?

Credentials
- How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?

Cost
- How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?

City
- Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
