Criminal Law Defense with a Personal Focus
Since 1997 I, Criminal Defense Attorney Jonathan Turner have been representing individuals and corporations being investigated, accused and charged with crimes all over Northern California. I pride myself in providing my clients with first-class, personalized service. When you hire the Law Office of Jonathan Turner, I, Jonathan Turner with my numerous years of experience will be personally representing you throughout the arduous criminal justice process. You will not be pawned off on some other attorney or associate. Rather your case will be handled by me and solely by me.
My approach to criminal defense and representing clients goes well beyond just making court appearances. Upon retention as your lawyer I will immediately go into action. This means meeting with you, the client, in my office or the jail, if you are in custody, to discuss the case in depth. This also means obtaining the police reports and any and all other evidence related to the case. I pride myself on doing exhaustive research and investigation regarding every case so that my client’s get absolutely the best defense possible. I do not just wait until court to discuss your case with the district attorney/prosecutor. Rather, I make every effort to discuss your case with the prosecutor days or weeks prior to court so that you get the best outcome possible when the case returns to court for hearing. I also pride myself on keeping my client’s constantly informed of their case’s status. It is my policy to return my client’s telephone calls and emails the same day they are received.
