When I originally came to speak with Jeff and Mark, I was terrified. I was caught up in a situation that had rapidly spiraled out of control. As someone who is still young, the outcome of my case could affect me for years to come. Jeff is someone who was there for me and was frank about what he thought about the charges against me. They were overzealous and unnecessary. But they needed to be dealt with and we would continue to meet them head on. In the end, we managed to secure a truly great outcome for my case with no permanent long term consequences and a path towards a clean record. I remember what Jeff told me after our first appearance. "Don't let this be the thing that defines you." With Jeff's help, I was able to achieve that. I aspire to be as brilliant of an attorney as Jeff Turnoy. Someone who cares about you as a person, not as another case to get through. When everything looks dark and you don't see a way out, Jeff Turnoy will be your guide. Thank you, Jeff, for being someone I could place my hope in.
I hired Jeff to review my situation several years ago. We have worked together now for the past three years. I had prior criminal convictions from my early 20’s and made the decision to consult Jeff on my options. He was engaged from the first office visit and we mapped out a plan for all my options, including expungement. He was thorough with my case, knowledgeable, and provided sound legal advice at each turn. If you want expert legal advice or even a consultative approach to your situation then I’d highly recommend Jeff Turnoy. Thank you Jeff and to the entire team at MARK C. COGAN, P.C. Law Offices for all you do.
I was accused of a crime that I didn't commit. Even though the evidence was in my favor, the sheriff's office and DHS had written their reports in favor of my accusing relative and were requesting that the DA file felony abuse charges against me. It was so scary. Jeff and the Cogan group put me at ease right away. They were competent, clear, rational and easy to talk to. Jeff responds quickly and is patient and compassionate. He helped me to understand my case and my options. His expertise and experience in this area gave me confidence and peace. I knew I was in good hands. Ultimately the DA didn't pursue the case against me and I feel having Jeff and the Cogan group cover my back played a part in that.
I dropped by Jeff’s office one day with some legal questions. Without an appointment or advance notice or anything he stopped what he was doing and took some time to chat, for which I am very grateful! That’s a level of accommodation you won’t find anywhere else. Thank you Jeff and Team.
Mr. Turnoy, and office are top shelf. From the initial phone call I knew I was in good hands and this was professionalism at its finest. Understands the high emotion of the situations. Delivered justice.
Mr. Turnoy got in contact with me right away. He was straightforward, respectful, and honest. Not once did he make me feel like less of a person for the crime I committed many years ago. He answered all my questions (even when I was stressing out and asking the same questions over again). Mr. Turnoy kept me up to date throughout the 11 months that he represented me. He was respectful to my family when they were asked to be present at the appeal. He did an excellent job of representing me in the court room and his briefing before we went into court was welcomed and appreciated. He truly cares about his clients, I can assure you of that! Easily the best money spent to have the best lawyer on my side!
I was faced with two class A felonies, and 10 years prison time for a crime I didn't commit. I've never had to deal with anything like this and was quite anxious. I spent many hours contacting various lawyers but didn't have any good feelings about any of them until I contacted Mark C. Cogan's Law office of which Jeff Turnoy is a senior associate. The team heard everything about the case and was quick to help me figure out what to do at that time even before I had given a retainer. They instructed me to turn myself in, and what to do after that point. I was able to pay the retainer, and hire them as my representation. I was assigned Jeff as the lead During every facet of the legal proceedings, Jeff specifically was very communicative regarding what I needed to do, and what each court date was going to entail. During the entire process Jeff was professional, extremely helpful. I would highly recommend Jeff for any court matter, he would be a great pick for someone in your corner so to speak.
I won't be too specific, but I was accused of something I did not commit when at a protest. When I hired Jeff Turnoy, immediately did a screening and interview with him and his team and they got the info. They pushed back my trial dates in a timely manner, in favor of getting it dismssed. Any redactions of the case were given to me, also in a timely manner, and so I could have them for my own records (in case I need the documents at any time in the future, after case dismissal). TLDR - great lawyer that can fight state or federal charges and HOPEFULLY get your case dismissed. Protesters, if you need help, talk to Jeff Turnoy! Good luck!
Jeff spoke to me about what steps I have to take for expungement and restoring my gun rights. He was honest about what my best options are even though it wasn't the most beneficial route for him. I am glad there are still people who operate with integrity in this world.
I consulted Jeff about relief from registration due to a Federal conviction in another state. Jeff advised me that we needed to wait a few years, and guided me until we reached the point that I could apply for relief. From initial contact to positive result from the Board of Parlole took several years, but Jeff never waivered in his patience and professionalism. Highly recommended.
