Marcus K. Turner
Senior Associate Attorney
"Growing up in a family that had been touched by divorce allows me to empathize with my family law clients in a way that others may not be able to.
​
I was fortunate in that I was in an attorney household, so in addition to living through family law issues, I saw how best to handle them from the lawyer's side.
I have years of experience helping people through some extremely difficult divorce and custody situations. And I have dedicated my career to being the best family law attorney that I can possibly be."
Marcus Turner is a dedicated and compassionate family law attorney who understands the challenges faced by individuals going through divorce. Having personally experienced a highly contentious divorce as a child, Marcus can empathize with his clients and provide them with the support they need during this difficult time.

He is adept both in the courtroom and in negotiation settings, including informal negotiations and mediations.

Prior to his role as an Associate Attorney, Marcus served as a Legal Researcher and Trial Assistant at Neal Ashmore Family Law Group.

Marcus's passion for family law stems from his time at South Texas College of Law, where he served in the school's family law clinic, providing legal representation to underprivileged and indigent individuals. This experience allowed him to develop practical litigation skills and a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by those in need of legal assistance.
Before embarking on his legal career, Marcus worked as a Junior Geologist at Miranda Gold, where he assessed land in northern Nevada and Utah for gold mining potential. His responsibilities included discovering, staking, mapping, plotting, perfecting, and registering gold mining claims with the State of Nevada.
