Travis Turner and his team were an amazing help with my case. Though I did not have a full service case, they were amazing through the whole process of reviewing my case and making sure things unfolded as I wanted. They have been very responsive with follow up questions, and I know that if I needed to hire them for more work or for revisiting this case, that they would be thorough and work hard for me.

The team at BurnettTurner was amazing to work with. Travis, Gina, Courtney, and other staff I worked with were all very compassionate, knowledgeable, responsive, and immensely professional. I reviewed a few other attorneys who came highly recommended before choosing Travis Turner. Travis' education, experience, and positive ratings were head and shoulders above the other highly recommended attorneys. While I hated the circumstances of meeting them, I came to respect and appreciate their help very much.

As I was doing the initial selection of the lawyer for my divorce, Travis already was different from others that I consulted. Noticing he has a DSM on his shelves in his office showed me his interest and readiness to deal cleverly with challenging negotiators. He also recommended to evaluate another attorney closer to my county court for practicality and to reduce the travel cost. Eventually, I choose him and do not regret it.
Travis communicated clearly his plan and we agreed on reasonable targets in the 1st few weeks of the case while still preparing for an eventual court hearing. Months later

If anyone's Interested, I have all the facts about our case including the faulty order. A faulty order is proof enough. I have the new order that had to be rewritten by the attorney General. I would be more than happy to take down this review if the company would make this right. They still have every opportunity to make this right but they have not tried or reached out since the fee dispute that they walked out on.

I'm so very disappointed in Michael Burnett, the lack of genuine effort he gave my case, his participation in the family law systems' racketeering, and his deceitful techniques. He knew how my case was going to turn out before he even really lifted a finger, which reflects how broken the system is and how little invested he was in helping my son and me.

I've met some other parents who had similar experiences with him; hence, me learning that some of his actions were actually common techniques of his. It's so heart-wrenching because these are families in crises and typically

Travis Turner represented me in the precedings of my divorce/custody hearing. I found him and his firm to be very professional and found him to be extremely bright. The divorce/custody hearing was moved to a different State as expected but Travis laid the ground work for a successful outcome. His advice and expertise in the initial hearing benefited me till the end. I'm happy to say that I gained majority custody of my son by the end which is often difficult for a father to get. I definitely recommend his firm.
Update from 2017:
Travis Turner represented me when my ex-wife attempted to take away

I was represented by Becca in my recent divorce and custody case. She was wonderful, patient, understanding and efficient from the start. Her and her paralegal, AJ, responded to my calls and emails right away. When you are going through something so mentally draining, it is so important to have a team like this on your side. Becca is very sweet but don't let that fool you, she is tough in the court room. One thing, she isn't conniving and sneaky like some lawyers. She is very straight forward in all aspects which is what I wanted. She is very smart. I can't say enough good things

Travis is sharp and firm when negotiating with opposite counsel and genuinely cares about his clients which really helped with managing the emotional stress of my case. He was also compassionate enough to take off the lawyer hat and talk to me as one parent to another when I needed encouragement or guidance on certain decisions. Plus, Ruth, his paralegal, is probably the nicest person you will ever meet and never misses a single detail. Trust me, you will thank yourself later for hiring them.

Travis Turner and Ruth guided me through divorce with expertise and professionalism. My children always remained priority. Ruth always prepared me for the process, she turned my angst and worry into optimism. I was never left second guessing, despite all the unknown variables. Travis kept me informed during the entire process, and was incredibly responsive to communication. Travis triumphs for his clients best interests. Divorce is never a pleasant experience, but Travis exceeded my expectations. His great attention to detail, and comprehensive understanding of family law, set me on a comfortable

Travis is the best. He's completely straightforward and he won't tell you what you want to hear just because you want to hear it. He helps navigate through the reality of the court system, and will tell you frankly whether or not it's worth your money to fight or not. Unlike other attorneys, his office is a no judgement zone. He will speak plainly and won't try to make you feel guilty about your choices. He will not play on your emotions, and helps you not to succumb to them, either. He has seen it all, and there is no one we would rather work with in the unfortunate but likely

Travis Turner came highly recommended to handle our case. I was immediately impressed with his calm, comforting demeanor. He was easy to talk to and extremely knowledgeable. He walked us through the process and gave us very reasonable expectations. From the very start, Travis and Jill made our case important. They were always very timely in their responses and very clear in their communication. Travis and Jill knew what they were doing and always had a well thought out plan. Both were easy to relate with and had a good sense of humor to boot. Travis Turner is a true professional and worth

Great team to work with....If you want to be on the winning side or just to make sure that your situation is handled by top-notch professionals. Stop reading now and call Travis Turner at Piper Burnett. Please don't make the mistake that I did by hiring another lawyer first; which was a complete waste of time and money. Travis made one phone call in front of me and got answers from the opposing side that my previous lawyer couldn't get in 5 months. And that was the first visit with Travis. Get the best the first time....Thanks Travis and Gina for handling my divorce.

I hired Travis Turner on the recommendation of another satisfied client. Travis represented me for an emergency child custody modification to an existing order. His representaion is second to none, I highly reccomend Travis. He helped achieve a more favorable outcome than could ever have been expected in this tough situation. When your child's welfare/safety is at risk take no chance, hire the best.
