About James A
James A. Turner built a law practice from steady, early steps. He moved from law school into firm work and then into his own office. The path is straightforward. The details show a lawyer who has stayed close to the courts and the community he serves.
He began his academic path at the University of Memphis in 2001 and went on to Middle Tennessee State University, where he earned a B.S. in Aerospace in 2006. He returned to Tennessee for legal training and received his J.D. from Nashville School of Law in 2011.
Turner entered the profession the same year he finished law school, joining LeVan, Sprader, Patton & McCaskill in 2011 as an associate attorney. He moved to Hagan & Farrar, PLLC in 2013 and then to Wilson, Howser & Oliver in 2014. Those early years kept him in firm settings where he handled client matters across a range of issues and gained courtroom experience.
He is admitted to practice in Tennessee and before the Federal Circuit. Turner has maintained ties to the local bar since the start of his career; he has been a member of the Rutherford and Cannon County Bar Association since 2011. He is also active in local civic circles through Murfreesboro Young Professionals, a membership he joined in 2015 and has continued to maintain. He holds membership in the American Association of Premier DUI Lawyers.
Peers and clients see Turner as a steady presence in the courtroom and the office. His resume traces a common pattern: law school, associate roles at regional firms, then independent practice. That sequence has given him a breadth of exposure to courtroom procedure, client counseling, and local court practice.
Today he practices at Oliver & Turner, PLLC. He handles matters across state and federal venues and continues to participate in professional organizations that reflect his ongoing work in the community and the courts. He now practices at Oliver & Turner, PLLC, handling matters in Tennessee and before the Federal Circuit.
