What reviewers think

Five-star reviews from staff continuity after 2017 contrast sharply with one and two-star complaints spanning years: clients report being charged far more than quoted, receiving poor tax and legal advice, and then abandoned or pursued for collections. Detail is limited to scattered historical reviews.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Praised for
  • estate planning work
  • long-standing practice
Watch-outs
  • overcharging and hidden fees
  • unresponsive after initial contact
  • poor legal advice
  • dismissive client service
hidden-feesunresponsiveoverpriced
Think twice if: Multiple reviews from years past report bills far exceeding quoted amounts and collections action; seek a detailed written estimate before committing.

Strengths

  • estate planning and probate services
  • long operational history

Worth knowing

  • Staff note continuing operations and estate planning focus after the named attorney's 2017 passing
  • Charges reported: $750 for no work, $6,000+ vs. quoted amount for estate work, $350 for 30-minute tax consultation

Ms. Babers earns consistent praise for patience, knowledge, and responsiveness across years of client relationships.

Most reviewers praise the firm's professionalism and longevity with clients over decades. Older complaints cite expensive billing, poor mediation attention, and unfavorable outcomes on custody and tax issues; limited recent review text makes current service assessment difficult.

Straughn & Turner draws strong praise for real estate closings and estate planning when cases land with experienced attorneys like Mark Mangen and Katie Price. Clients consistently report smooth transactions and helpful staff at signing. However, repeated complaints surface about late delivery of closing documents, delayed callbacks, and coordination lapses that create last-minute pressure. One reviewer cited involvement in aggressive HOA fee collection with liens on homeowners' property.
