Mr. Turpin has dedicated his practice to Criminal
Defense, serving his clients as an aggressive and effective
advocate from investigation through trial and appeal. As a
former Assistant Commonwealth Attorney for Buchanan County,
Virginia, (1996-1999) and for the City of Virginia Beach,
Virginia, (1999-2003), Mr. Turpin tried hundreds of cases
before judges and juries. After having his own practice for
four years, Mr. Turpin came to Clarke, Dolph, Rapaport, Hull,
Brunick & Garriott, P.L.C., bringing invaluable expertise
in counsel and representation of clients, including juveniles,
in all levels of court, from traffic and misdemeanor matters
to major felonies.
Mr. Turpin's approach is to investigate all the facts about
a case, from his client as well as all information available
to the prosecuting authority and combine these facts with
the law to create a strong defense. Mr. Turpin is well respected
by the judiciary and prosecuting attorneys for his experience,
integrity and the quality of his work in representing clients
accused of crimes.
