Larry Turner is one of the most honorable and decent human beings I know

Larry Turner is one of the most honorable and decent human beings I know. If ever there was an AV attorney- it would be Larry Turner. I have known Mr. Turner for over 35 years and he has never conducted himself in any other manner than as I have described. I have practiced against him when I as an Assistant State Attorney for the 8th Judicial Circuit for the State of Florida, as co-counsel with him, and tried a 4 month trial in his court while he served as a Circuit Court Judge.
