John Turner

John M Turner recently received advanced level training, from the American Association of Premier DUI Attorneys, on how to effectively take care of a client’s needs and how to remain agile during the COVID-19 pandemic. John received training on why moving a law practice to the cloud is important and how to make that move, how to effectively meet with clients remotely, working with local courts to accept email filings and/or video conference appearances, and helping prosecutors alleviate their backlog of cases by successfully negotiating cases in a client’s favor. This training was provided by Ziad Youssef, a State Ambassador Member of the Association. Mr. Youssef’s office is located in Bellingham, Washington and his website address is https://mytrafficman.net/.

The American Association of Premier DUI Attorneys has compiled information from Judges, Traffic Safety Resource Prosecutors (the Top DUI Prosecutors in each State), DUI Prosecutors, current Law Enforcement Officers, former Law Enforcement Officers, and DUI Defense Attorneys to determine exactly what skills, knowledge, training, tools, resources, and strategies win the most DUI cases at trial and are also used to get DUI cases successfully resolved for the defense prior to trial.

When people need a DUI Attorney, the biggest challenge is knowing whether or not an attorney truly has the skills, knowledge, training, tools, resources, and strategies that are needed to successfully resolve and win DUI cases. Countless attorneys handle DUI cases. But, only a very small percentage have the skills, knowledge, training, tools, resources, and strategies that are needed to successfully resolve and win DUI cases.

Members of the American Association of Premier DUI Attorneys have received advanced level training on the strategies that win the most DUI cases at trial and are also used to get DUI cases successfully resolved for the defense prior to trial. Members of the American Association of Premier DUI Attorneys also have access to the resources and tools that are used to win and successfully resolve DUI cases and these are resources and tools that only a very small percentage of DUI attorneys have access to and use.
