This is the 3rd time that Mr. Turner has represented me in court, and so I owe him a well merited review for his services. While it is difficult for any professional to divulge information, especially in when it comes to perceived criminal offenses, I feel like his efforts merit details. My background is a government contractor, where any criminal offenses would reduce my access to confidential information. That being said, Mr. Turner has defended me successfully in the past, and this third time around he is still as good as 10 years ago. I was alegedly caught driving in the EZ pass lanes of i66, going 91 in a 70 mph, and was issued a reckless driving ticket. This ticket would cause me quite some trouble if found guilty. I had no choice but to call William Turner. He returned my call promptly, laid out a plan of action with some items that I needed to pursue, and then he met me in court early. Mr. Turner presented my driving record, additional documentation, and a very well written disposition stating the case. My final case outcome was improper driving, which is a substantial reduction in fines as well as a non criminal ticket, as reckless driving is a level 4 misdemeanor. I could not be happier with the results. I recommend Mr. Turner to anyone that is in need of good criminal representation. While I want to say that I hope not to use his services again (ha, ha), he will be the first person I call if ever in legal trouble.

William Turner is nothing short of a life saver. You will not find a better defense attorney in Arlington County, especially in the domain of DUI charges. It is impossible to summarize all the reasons why into a couple sentences, so I will start by saying I fully support the key points of reviews already posted. Bill’s reputation is backed not just by reviews here, but by members of the Arlington Judicial system. On the day of my release from Jail in March 2020, the shift Sergeant who I talked to previously about my case literally said “Wow, you clearly had the best lawyer for your situation” as I walked out the door serving 1 month instead of 12. Many other jail guards knew him by name as a former Arlington prosecutor, and immediately viewed me with new credibility (to the extent possible in jail of course) and stated he was one of the top defense attorneys in the county. Clearly Bill’s experience and professionalism are unmatched, however it is the extra mile he goes for his clients that sets him further apart from his peers. Through my own negligent behavior, I called on Bill for representation more than once. Each time, he was straight-forward, honest and didn’t sugar-coat anything with false-hope. He took extra time each time we met, including close to an hour visit at 8 PM on a Wednesday after already putting in a full day of caseload while I was locked-up. Additionally, he called my parents in Chicago multiple times late at night to assure them I was in good hands. Obviously, you don’t want to need a defense attorney, but when you do, that is not the time to be bargain shopping. Bill’s fees are on the high-end for a reason, you get what you pay for. Freedom and getting back to a better life is priceless.

Bill Turner represented my case with utmost professionalism. He did the proper research, informed me well in advance of the various scenarios, and assured me we would have a positive outcome in what was a petty situation. He proved right and was able to get my traffic violation charges reduced significantly. Would highly recommend his services!

I was fortunate to find Mr Turner to help a very good friend of mine. He was extremely professional and helpful. He explained things clearly and lead my friend through the process of going to court. The outcome was better than expected. I highly recommend Mr. Turner. He is an outstanding lawyer. He is caring and a good listener .

William "Bill" Turner was there for us when we needed immediate legal representation for my brother, who had been arrested over the weekend and was facing serious criminal/felony allegations. He took our call at midnight on a Sunday and appeared in court to represent my brother the very next morning. Bill came highly recommended to us, from a high profile friend of our family who lives in the Arlington area, and he lived up to his strong reputation. Bill's previous experience as a prosecutor is an advantage to his clients in many ways. He knows the system, has relationships in the courthouse, and uses his unique perspective to build a strong defense strategy. We are ever so grateful and highly recommended Bill for your legal defense needs.

Mr. William Turner, Esq of Newton Turner, PLLC is an excellent attorney! His extensive expertise and knowledge, professional experience/background and clout all were instrumental in getting me through the hardest and most embarrassing ordeal in my life- totally unscathed! Moreover, Mr. Turner made me feel incrediably at ease and optimistic even though I had the odds stacked against me! In short, I was arrested on two different occasions, so I was facing a rack of charges including multiple Felony possessions, a DWI, several misdemeanors AND a probation violation! I was absolutely terrified, as I already had suspended time over my head in the same county (to make matters even worse)! I met with several attorneys initially, but was most drawn to Mr. Turner's upbeat confidence, his encouraging and lively demeanor, his nonjudgmental attitude, as well as his notariety and first-hand experience as a prosecutor. Moreover, I was recommended by a past client to contact Newton Turner, PLLC based on their reliability and prestige, quality work, and powerful representation all for a reasonable rate. I am extremely grateful to have had Mr. Turner's finesse, competence and dependability in my corner; his help got me through my worst nightmare with no Felony conviction or jail time! THANK YOU!

Mr. Turner is an awesome attorney and an even better person. He took on my case and was able to get the charge against me dimissed. He was more than knowledgeable and even researched my case prior to our first consult. He brought a very humanistic approach to a situation that was very stressful. I couldn't have imanged a better process or outcome with out Mr. Turner representing me. His knowledge and attention to detail were second to none. I highly recommend hiring him for any legal issues you may have.

Let me tell you! This man saved my life! I was facing a DUI and a felony distribution of marijuana charge in Arlington County Virginia... Wrong place wrong time ; ). On top of that my son was due anyday. I have a terrible record and would have been happy with 3 months jail time and 3 years of probation. This honorable man will give you nothing but the best. He was always there when I called and he didnt sell me a dream. He told me the best and worst case scenarios and gave me nothing but the best treatment even though he was appointed by the court. At my preliminary hearing after some arguments with the DA... both charges were nolle prosque. Thank Jesus for Mr. Turner. A ver personable man. I felt like his only client.

I was dealing with a case that could have gone either way and on top of that I was late appearing into court. I had a warrant out for my arrest and everything. William Turner helped me every step of the way with or without my presence. By time I had made it into court my warrant was suspended and all the charges were dismissed. He made sure I was taken care of. If there was any one I would recommend to defend you its this guy here. He's an AMAZING attorney! Can't go wrong. Thank you so much William once again, your services are highly appreciated.

Mr. Turner took my case and made a success story out of it. First and foremost he actually cares. He will go out of his way to stay on your side and beat your shortcomings. Mr. Turner is a former prosecuter for the Commonwealth of VA. so he knows how this works and know whos on the inside. In my personal experience with him, he took my 3 charges (2 misd. 1 felony) and had both of the 2 major charges dismissed when the odds were totally against me. Ended up with NO jail time and just a small fine. Highly recommend him for any criminal case so he can work his magic and keep you in the clear!
