Johnson / Turner Legal

I needed some advice on a family thing. I called this office and felt right at home. The lady answering the phone was friendly, efficient and so understanding. She penciled me in with a delightful younger attorney who really was very helpful. We got the advice we needed and felt no pressure to persue anything else if we did not want to. Small town nice and big city smarts. A winning combination. Give the a call and let them help you too.

The entire team at the Blaine and Wayzata office go far above the level I have become a accustomed to from past experience with attorney/Law Office interactions. Carlo, Karla, Denise the whole group are compassionate, caring and responsive. Couldn’t ask for a better group to help resolve my concerns

I used them for my divorce back in 2018-2019. I originally had another attorney (who no longer works at this business) as my representation (I’ll call that person T). But another “more experienced” attorney (let’s call that person F) was overseeing my case with my original attorney after a month of having T. I found out F and my ex’s attorneys were really good friends and would see each other often. I brought this up to T that I was uncomfortable with this and it felt like a conflict of interest. That email was sent to F and the response was that even though they are, it shouldn’t affect your case. That was a massive lie. It was terrible. I kept reiterating that verbiage needed to be precise, clear, and no grey areas otherwise my x-husband would tried to find every loop hole he possibly could to bend the situation to him. After all, I was married to him for 10+ years, I would know him better than they did. F did not believe me and would argue with me that it didn’t have to be like that. Saying that he’s an adult, so he should follow it. That’s not how that works. I constantly had issues with F trying to force me into agreements that I was really uncomfortable with. I had so many stipulations and ultimatums put on me that F said was normal, but was not. I didn’t know it at the time. I’ve never been in this situation before, that’s why I trusted them. I told F I had issues with him harassing me and being mentally and emotionally abusive. F again, ignored all of that. Telling me that’s normal in divorce cases even though I was telling her I dealt with that for years. F even tried to force me to sign a contract that had such a massive loophole in it, I would I have lost half of everything I worked to keep for my children within a matter of months. I wouldn’t. I was gaslit into feeling like I was being irrational and my requests were absurd almost at every turn. I was constantly pressured into signing things that weren’t in my best interest. They would tell me if it went in front of judge it would be worse than than what was being purposed. Which I think was a massive lie. If this has went in front of a judge, I would have had more protection from him and he would have to make his child support payments through the system. Because apparently it was okay for him to do it through PayPal in their eyes. Which he only pays on a date that he feels feels like, I have to remind him like I am his mother when he doesn’t (which this isn’t suppose to happen because he’s a grown adult), and tries to hold it over my head if I don’t do something he wants me to do. So here I am two almost three years later. Having to go back to court because, who could have guessed it, my ex finds all the grey areas in the decree and tries to use them. Is constantly harassing me and at one point, he was always driving past my house. Continues to spy on me, always tries to buck the decree or cherry pick what he wants out of it due to the loop holes and grey areas. Tries to use the children against me or to force me into doing something. I have little to no protection against him even though I had asked for it multiple times. I am single mom and having to find money along with working a ton to do this. Just so I can have some peace from him. I have texts and emails of him constantly harassing me and being abusive. DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE! It’s all about quick turn around times and not about the client. And they will just tell you that you are crazy if you mention your ex is abusive in anyway. Last thing you need is your representation gaslighting you and belittling you as much as your abusive ex, whom your trying to seek solace from, is doing. I have ALL the correspondences from both F and T still. So I know I am not just remembering things differently.

I am extremely frustrated by the quality of service that I received. My lawyer let the opposing attorney run the show. Now after the fact I found out many legal issues that were going on that my lawyer never looked into and overlooked. I have consulted several attorney's since and they can not believe the misrepresentation that I received. Also, the pay one flat fee that they sell you with is not true. Every single step of my divorce costed more money.

Very nice and knowledgeable people to do business with.
