I can't say enough about Travis Turner, Gina Schroeder, and the team at Burnett Turner. Travis was recommended to me, and I in turn have highly recommended Travis to a few of my close friends when they needed assistance. The way they handled the day I was served helped reassure and enable me to move forward through the uncertainty that followed. Gina called me within 20 mins of being served, and I was meeting with Travis in his office a few hours later (a Friday afternoon). They both outlined the process, took the time to really learn the details, and focused on learning what was important to me and my daughter. From the beginning to the end, I never felt like I was just a client by either Travis or Gina, but that they genuinely cared about my and my family's future. As for the case.... Travis came up with an approach and strategy that we stuck to throughout the process. He kept in mind what I said I wanted/ needed from the beginning and when I wavered, always brought me back to that. He ensured we stayed focused on the end game, including maintaining the potential for future co-parenting, and didn't engage in frivolous or non-purposeful actions. Travis and Gina never wasted time or money on unnecessary things. Their approach from the beginning was focused and purposeful and things played out exactly the way they said it would. Travis is smart, direct, straight forward, and professional. He was masterful in action, such as in the temporary order hearing/ negotiation, deposition, and mediation. His negotiation skills are first rate. He was well prepared throughout and ensured I knew what to expect and was prepared for those events. He always played it straight with me, and never made promises he couldn't keep. And he delivered.... The outcome and the speed in which he delivered it exceeded my expectations and in the end created the conditions to build a new life for my daughter and I on my terms. Last but not least... Gina Schroeder is the best.... She was a constant source of support, sometimes calling just to check in. She was diligent in handling a massive amount of discovery requests from the other side meant to slow down the process, and supported the blistering pace strategy that Travis employed. And she had a strong grasp of complex financials that I thought would be a source of contention, but wasn't thanks to her. I could go on and on... She was just wonderful. I wouldn't go with anyone other than Travis and his team. read more

Travis Turner, Ruth and Scott Nyitray are better than the best. First, Travis is on another level when it come to family law. His professionalism, thoughtfulness, and straight forward approach is what makes him above everyone else. Travis is the most talented and gifted attorney I have ever used. He treated me like a person and not like a number. If I needed him for any reason he was there. On one occasion when I needed him the most, there were no questions asked. He put on his coat and took care of business. To have someone like that on your side during one of the most difficult times in your life makes the process a little easier. I would highly recommend Travis for any family law issue you may have. Second, Scott Nyitray is one amazing attorney too. Scott worked with me on many issues during my case. Watching him work in the court room is truly astounding. Between Scott and Travis they knew everything about my case. Scott was always on point. Like Travis, he would take care of business. To have Scott and Travis on my team was truly a blessing. Lastly Ruth. I cannot say enough good things about Ruth. All the good things I have to say about Ruth would make War and Peace a short story. Ruth was my life line during this difficult time. Her compassion and the simple fact she would listen is more than anyone could ask for. She looked after me like a mother would. Ruth is one of the most amazing people I have ever met. I would highly recommend this team to anyone going though family issues. Do not waste your time with other attorneys. Make Burnett Turner your first and only choice. Let Travis, Scott and Ruth guide you through this difficult time. You will not regret your decision in hiring them. read more

We switched to Travis Turner midway through a child custody suit and he immediately took action and filed things that should have been filed by our previous attorney and researched and answered questions we had yet to get answered within the first two days of receiving the case. Looking back, the decision to change to Travis is what changed the direction of the whole case, which at that time was not very favorable for us. This was a very difficult case with numerous parties involved and Travis had the skill, knowledge, staff and expertise to pull it off. He kept us informed throughout the entire process and would send us copies of everything he filed and every response from the opposing party. He responded very timely to all of our questions and fears, was very honest and forthright about what we could expect and was always a step ahead of the opposing party. He and his paralegal, Denise, were very well prepared for trial and had thought out every possible scenario that could occur and had a well thought out strategy to counter. In addition, Travis and Denise truly had a vested interest in our case and the best interest of the child at stake. Throughout the case, there were times when fear would grip us, but Travis was always there to offer support and assurance. He understood the emotional roller coaster we were going through and was always able to make us feel more reassured and confident. In the end, we won our case and are forever grateful for the hard work and dedication of Travis Turner and his staff. I would highly recommend this law firm. read more

I would love to recommend Travis L. Turner, Attorney at Law, who specializes in family law. I was referred to Travis for legal representation during my divorce. I am thankful for his help and know the outcome was successful because of the job he did. No one plans on their marriage coming to an end and when that occurs, a flood of emotions can easily overtake common sense and logical thinking. This is where having Travis as your attorney makes the difference. Right from the start, Travis became my advocate, providing a high level of comfort due to his experience and expertise in family law. I found Travis to listen carefully, respond quickly to my questions and concerns, possess excellent research skills that produced the best legal strategies and the professional presence in the court room to achieve the best outcome for my son and I. Both Travis and his staff were genuine and professional at all times. Since my divorce, I have sought his legal representation again and am thankful to have him standing next to me in court. Travis is passionate about law and representing his clients for their greatest good. I highly recommend Travis L. Turner. CJD read more

Over 4 years ago I found Travis Turner and decided to hire him while going thru my divorce. While going thru the process, Travis was extremely helpful in helping me get past the emotions of my divorce and start focussing on the end results. Not only did he help assure that I get joint custody of my kids, he made sure the arrangement was beneficial in every way possible. Since I have kids, my divorce will probably never feel like it's over since I will be dealing with my ex for many years to come. Thru the years, whenever my ex has tried to come after me for money, and even once tried to take me to mediation, Travis walked the walk. He has never mislead me, and has always been extremely confident in where he stands with each issue. My ex never got another dime from me, and has since left me alone. I cannot say enough about my experience with Travis. Not only is he amazing at what he does, but he is genuinely a nice guy. He is extremely easy to talk to, and he is great at making sure everything is explained thoroughly. While I hope I never have to work with him in this capacity again, if I do, there's absolutely no doubt Travis will represent me! read more

Words cannot convey the appreciation I have for Travis, Christi and Ruth. Their hard work allowed me, a single father to win custody of my daughter. As any father in this position knows it's an uphill battle trying to gain custody of your child as you feel like you have no rights. Originally I started out with one of the well known, nationally advertised "Father Rights" law firms. Within a few months I began to feel like I was getting a cookie cutter service, as if they were handling my case according to a rule book. Once I was awarded a court date, I began to look for a new lawyer before the "Father Rights" firm became too involved in my case making it both expensive and difficult to start over with a new firm. I interviewed several law firms and knew after speaking with Travis for only 30 minutes that Burnett Turner was the one. I could not have been more right, Travis, Christi and Ruth handled my case in an exemplary manner which resulted with me gaining custody of my daughter, in effect saving her life. I highly recommend any that if you or someone you knows needs an excellent layer, give Travis a call! read more

Becca and AJ were absolutely the best team! From the moment of my consultation I knew this was the firm that I would be going with to assist me through my divorce. Becca listened to everything that I was concerned about, she asked questioned, she made me think about things that hadn't even crossed my mind, I knew with her representation that I would be in the best hands. Every step along the way they helped me understand the process, they were amazingly fast drafting the temporary order and making sure that was in place immediately since there is a child from my marriage. They filed all the paperwork, after the 60 day waiting period we considered all the factors and they were able to draft the Final Decree and worked with me the whole time. I was able to email any time I had a question or a concern came to my head. They filed the initial request for divorce with the court at the beginning of January and my divorce was signed and finalized in June! I appreciate Becca and AJ so much. They made an overwhelming decision simpler to understand and I knew they had my best interests at heart the whole time. read more

To be frank with you about Attorney Travis Turner the path that he walked for me as a client, no other legal team could never stand in his shoes. He is a beast in the court room along with his positive client motivational attitude do not hesitate to contact his office if you are ever in need. I am an educated confident woman and mother that walked out of the court room with no more burdens, Mr. Turner annihilated them victoriously. By all means do not judge a book by its cover. Attorney Whitney Borgman is tiny and petite but she came to the court room with explosive energy. Ms. Borgman commanded and supported me through a very difficult time. Stop wasting money and time give her a call, I know she'll complete a successful task . Mrs.Andrea Gulley a "go-getter " and the most POWERFUL paralegal that will stop at nothing to finding solutions. She will not deny any questions you may have regarding your case. Mrs. Andrea is a very knowledgable and will keep you informed step by step I would not have made it through this case with out Mrs.Andrea,thank you so much. read more

In the midst of my two-year divorce process, I realized I needed new guidance. Hiring Michael Burnett and his team was a pivotal decision that immediately changed the trajectory of my case. Navigating a high-conflict divorce with young children is incredibly painful, but the outcomes are what truly matter. I now have full custody of my two young children, which feels like a lifesaver. It's clear to me that Burnett Turner made a significant difference. They brought a genuine human connection to my case, pouring heart and soul into every detail. Finding strength, courage, and support during the lonely times of separation and divorce can be challenging, especially when your life feels like it's falling apart. Mr. Burnett was always available, providing guidance not just as a lawyer, but as a friend who was emotionally invested in my family's well-being. His team stood with me in the trenches, demonstrating a commitment that went beyond mere professionalism. I can say with certainty that choosing Burnett Turner was one of the most important decisions I've ever made. read more

Unfortunately I have employed 7 divorce attorneys over the course of my life. With the exception of Travis Turner, I have been disappointed by all of them. They don't do the work, they miss details, they don't seem to care, and they charge me $300 to ask me how my day is going. Travis is not only the most compassionate, and honest attorney that I have ever worked with, he is also supremely talented at his job. He gets things done quickly and efficiently. He is smarter, more clever, and more up on the law than any attorney I have ever worked with. Perhaps the best thing about Travis though is his personality and sincerity. Divorces are characteristically unpleasant and often a miserable experience. It's an odd thing to say, but I actually had fun working with Travis. Not only would I recommend Travis to anyone, I would tell anyone that chooses any attorney over Travis is being foolish. Travis also, more than paid for his professional fees--due to the enormous amount of savings he created in my settlement. Sincerely, Kirk R. Parsley, M.D. read more

As I was doing the initial selection of the lawyer for my divorce, Travis already was different from others that I consulted. Noticing he has a DSM on his shelves in his office showed me his interest and readiness to deal cleverly with challenging negotiators. He also recommended to evaluate another attorney closer to my county court for practicality and to reduce the travel cost. Eventually, I choose him and do not regret it. Travis communicated clearly his plan and we agreed on reasonable targets in the 1st few weeks of the case while still preparing for an eventual court hearing. Months later, after long negotiations, the agreement ended up at the initial targets while avoiding the uncertainty of the court. Travis and his compassionate team (Ruth, Gina, and Alexis) took the time to answer all the many questions I had during the case and I felt that as a team, they have shared advice to try to minimize the overall cost and the pain of the process. I would recommend his services. read more

Divorce is never easy even if amicable. There are always complexities and it was so settling and reassuring to have Travis navigate me through the entire process. He is very easy to talk with and never passes judgment. He just want to find a path for you that results in a fair settlement. During the process I could focus on other important aspects of my life such as work since I knew Travis was on top of my case and making sure everything was proceeding properly. Gina, his paralegal, was also an important part of the team. She was always very calming when there were aspects of the process which I did not understand or times when I was concerned. She really helped me focus on what was most important. Divorce is never easy but no matter the situation Travis and Gina are a great team. They will help you navigate the process to a fair settlement and most importantly give you the confidence that your matters are being properly handled. read more

Travis Turner is such an amazing attorney. I cannot express enough of what an amazing job he did for me and my kids. He's sharp, organized, firm and tough. He has such a cool demeanor and his negotiating skills are SO strong. Every penny I spent was worth it!!! I also have so much admiration for Haley. She is incredible! Every time Travis asked her for something she already had it in her hand ready to go. She is a wizard at what she does. Last but not least, Ruth who is Travis's assistant. She is so sweet and calming. She informed me of everything by picking up the phone and calling me. She prepared me of what the opposing side would respond with but told me not to worry because Travis had everything under control. She kept all my emotions in check. This is a winning team which is what you need when dealing with a stressful and emotional divorce especially when everything is on the line for you and your kids. read more

I have & will always referred Travis to everyone I come across! Through out my entire divorce, Travis was the bull dog who got things done & Ruth was my zen navigator who kept me calm. I was advised early on by Travis how be prepared & Ruth made sure I knew there was light at the end of the tunnel. They made sure I didn't get stuck in a long divorce that left me poor & on the street with my kids. Travis defended what was fair & just for my children & I. Everything you never thought your husband would do to you, mine did. It was the worst divorce I had ever heard of, but Travis & Ruth orchestrated it amazingly. After my first mediation I knew everything was going to be ok. I saw the team that had my back & the knowledge that they had. I'm so lucky to have been referred to this smart, companionate group of people. Travis & Ruth are the reason why my girls & I are secure today. Thank you! read more

Travis Turner has been our divorce attorney for many years. My husband unfortunately agreed to a poorly drafted divorce decree in 2008, which led to many years of ongoing conflict with his ex-spouse. Travis worked tirelessly on our behalf. He was able to negotiate a modification to the original divorce decree, leading to thousands of dollars saved in unnecessary spousal support. Additionally, over the last 10 years, Travis has assisted in resolving ongoing custodial arguments, as well as, dismissing false claims to child support arrears. In so many ways, Travis Turner has been a voice of reason amidst a tremendous amount of stress. I know it is Travis Turner's job, but it is our life, and I feel that he went above and beyond. I would recommend, without reservation, Travis Turner and his law firm to anyone going through a complex or contentious divorce. They are the best in Austin! read more

I was fortunate to have Travis Turner represent me during my divorce. The first time I met him he took the time to explain the process and set my expectations, including clearing up a number of misconceptions on my part. Both Travis and Jill were responsive and available, always willing to work around my hectic schedule. Early in the case it became apparent that my now ex-wife did not retain the same quality of representation that Travis brought to the table. He kept me from losing my cool on a number of occasions, framing the situation, options, and giving insightful and experienced counsel on the pros and cons of various possible actions. Travis knew when to push, when to wait, and always had a plan that he worked out with me to fit my personality and the situation. If you're looking for quality representation I highly recommend Travis and Jill. read more

I acquired Travis Turner's representation in Dec 2011, thanks to a recommendation from a close friend. From our first meeting to today, Travis has been the most valuable asset in my corner! I relayed on Travis's expertise and followed his instructions/recommendations to a tee. I believe this allowed me to walk away from this unfortunate situation with my head held high. Knowing that I had Travis and his team (especially Andrea, his paralegal) supporting me, held me together until my divorce was finalized. This process has taken over a year, and thus Travis got to hear from me quite a bit!! There are not enough words to express my gratefulness for his support and for going out of his way to make sure that my son and I were taken care of. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Travis to anyone going through a similar situation. read more

After a poor experience with not one but two (!) other attorneys in Austin, I reached out to Travis for help tying up loose ends from my divorce. He & his team got the job done quickly, and because they were so efficient, my limited engagement cost me much less than I expected. Travis and his team are communicative, available, and thorough. I especially appreciated how Travis always treated me with respect and listened to my concerns, offering sound guidance and setting realistic expectations. Divorce is already emotionally and financially taxing, and choosing the wrong attorney can amplify that exponentially. If you're looking for a calm, steady presence during a challenging season, look no further than the folks at Burnett Turner. I'm grateful that I've finally found a team that I'm proud to have in my corner. read more
