About Joseph L. Turney
As a 38 year old Christian, I am married 18 years with three children, a son and two daughters. I was raised in Marion County on a farm in the Improve Community attending Bassfield schools for ten years and East Marion for two to graduate. I then served active duty in the U. S. Army. Thereafter, after trade school at PRCC, I worked in the heating and air conditioning trade until I was injured and returned to school. With the support of my wife I successfully attended PRCC and USM obtaining my bachelor degree in history and political science and went on to Ole Miss to obtain my law degree by December 2002.
I have practiced over eight yesars having worked for a criminal prosecutor, civil litigation defense firm, and opened my office as a solo practitioner over five years ago in Columbia. I have worked and tried cases in the circuit, chancery, justice, municipal, and youth courts, which include issues of contract, warranty, professional liability, real property, criminal law, employer discrimination, personal injury, and family law.
I have the intelligence, energy, and devotion to provide quality service without the ego or political associations limiting my ability to provide those services with integrity, ethically and in accordance with the law. My individualism, integrity, and idealism in my practice has led to me being labeled a bully, bulldog, and stubborn, but my integrity, character, ethics, and professionalism have no price.
I have currently not held public office of any kind. However, I intend to run again for the circuit court judgeship in 2014 and I understand that, if elected, I may at times have to make decisions according to law I do not agree with and hard decisions that do not appeal to me as fair, but the law is the law and it is the responsibility of others to make it and change it. Otherwise, I would lack the credibility and integrity to preside over those that come before me seeking “fair and impartial” justice.
Allow me the opportunity to serve my district beginning January 1, 2015, with what I bring to the table, integrity, experience, and consistency under the law from a “fair and impartial” bench. Allow me the opportunity to address the issues facing our communities in the form of drugs, theft and violence, among others, to the extent permitted a Judge under the law.
Vote your conscience November 2014.
