Dale helped me get through the process of my separation agreement and was very professional and attentive. His assistant Wendy was also very helpful and very kind along with the front desk lady.
I highly recommend and trust the value of Dale’s work.
Joy Steede
We were recommended to you this lawyer via my work to help with a complicated issues involving misappropriation of funds for my kids from their grandparents estate. He listen to us, and came through for my kids big time, it may have taken 6 years but he came through. I will always be grateful for the diligence given to our case. I would highly recommend him!!

Let’s face it, there is rarely a perfect outcome in family law when parties struggle with seeing eye to eye with each other. Dale and his entire team helped us navigate a very complex family law system to settle a very challenging family law matter; surprisingly to the agreement of both sides. As far as I am concerned that’s about as perfect as it gets. His team is focused and professional but at the same time quite compassionate which I think is what is missing in this broken family law system. Dale is a dedicated lawyer with a fantastic team who actually sincerely care!
Rhonda Hanes
I would highly recommend Turner Law to anyone that is looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate lawyer. Dale assisted us through a very difficult time during a life changing illness with our estate issue. I cant say enough how empathetic and caring he was and went above and beyond our expectation. If you are looking for a law firm you can trust to have your best interest at the forefront, please call Turner Law.

Dale is a wonderful resource who has provided help regarding the estate of a family member. He patiently answered all my questions and used layman terms to ensure I understood. He has been great to make sure I feel armed with correct information and knowing I have his support. I would definitely recommend Turner Law.
Michael Williams-Bell
I highly recommend Dale Turner and his office! My wife and I had a great experience and Dale guided us through the wills and power of attorney process seamlessly. We are very grateful for his assistance and the professionalism and courtesy shown to us by Dale and his staff!
Isaac Crawford
I googled Family Lawyers in Oshawa, Dale showed up and I took a chance with him.
All his staff are amazing and easy to communicate with and are very knowledgable about how proceedings typically go. Wendy is an amazing person and tells it how it is.
Dale was very open and honest about his rates, the hours of work he put in, and was straight forward about his plans. On this, I was able to obtain a precedent setting ruling at an interim motion regarding shared parenting – a HUGE win for fathers.
I would suggest using Dale if you are serious about your matter and willing to put in an effort.
Ruwan C
Highly satisfied with my experience. Dale was a through professional. He educated me what to expect. He is someone who you can easily approach and trust . Considering the nature of my case he even talked to me on his off days. He is a very caring professional. I would strongly recommend him specially for family matters.
Jennifer T
Dale Turner is knowledgeable, empathetic, patient as well as genuine not to mention equipped with a strong knowledge for family law. At a time when I had almost lost all hope for justice, Dale’s expertise helped steer me in a direction that allowed for the most positive outcome. I am eternally grateful and indebted and will continue to endlessly refer him to others in search of a truly outstanding, good hearted, insightful and powerful attorney.
DAYO ASUBIOJO
Dale Turner was recommended to me via my professional affliacy. I’d sort Dale Turner’s advise on a matter that was tending litigious. Dale was very professional – he was attentive and patient with me while he provided me with my options. He was easy to reach and followed-up with me as needed. Applying one of his advise helped me avoid what could have resulted into a complicated legal battle
Jason Wallace
Dale helped me through a very complex family and property matter. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and an effective advocate. I had been represented by 4 lawyers prior to Dale and he was the only one who effectively resolved my complex matter. I am forever grateful for Dale’s advice, guidance and services. I also appreciated how compassionate and personable Dale was which is a refreshing change. I have recommended many friends and family in need of family law advice.
Sam Neelam
Dale is very experienced and knowledgeable in family law. My case was
a bit complicated.1)Dale was meticulous to the details provided by me and prepared arguments and strategy based on his experience. Though I was not convinced initially, but this really helped us in winning the case. 2)I noticed that Dale is well respected by the Judges and he has an excellent behavior and soft skills, which can really make a difference in the court room. 3) Dale is very honest in dealing with the client. He does not speak what the client wants to listen, but candid in his expert advice, opinion and also the cost.4) Dale tries to best of his ability to protect his clients of legal costs and provides various options.5)Dale has a very flexible work schedule to accommodate client’s timings. 6) Last but the most important, he handled my case with utmost sensitivity and care in addition to professionalism. This really made me feel better.
I will definitely refer Dale to anyone who needs legal help on family law
Lesley Dath
Dale and Rose, his right hand, were helpful both with litigation and mental/emotional support at a time when my usual strength had been blindsided. He’s honest about your chances in court, which inevitably saves one some $$. He’s a genuine person, not the puffed up self important lawyers I’d encountered prior to settling on Dale Turner.
Penny Johansen
I found Dale Turner Law while doing an online Google search, looking for someone to handle the complicated matters between myself and my long-term common-law partner.
I interviewed three other attorneys in total, and decided to go with Dale.
Dale and his staff, especially Rose, were always professional, caring, attentive and patient. Even at times when I was emotional, Dale and Rose always treated me with respect and understanding.
My options and consequences of the decisions I was about to make, were fully explained to me. I never felt rushed or dismissed.
During our course of business, when things seemed to come to a standstill with my ex and his attorney, Dale recommended a mediator, a less expensive alternative to the back-and-forth communication that was going no where.
In the final analysis, Dale always gave me good advise and got back to me in a timely fashion.
I would strongly recommend Dale and his firm for family law matters.
Cory
Very good experience working with Dale and his team. I first reached out to Dale through a referral several years back (2017) about a personal family situation. Without any prior knowledge or relationship, Dale was willing to take some time, communicate, advise, and direct me with my situation. Ultimately my civil situation arose again in 2020, and I reached out to Dale who helped me through the matter. Dale provided sound legal advice, and also gave me the autonomy to controlled my personal situation as I saw fit. We were able to avoid court entirely, and resolve a dispute in a fairly timely matter compared to other dragged-out separations or divorce.
Dale also helped with completing additional support concerning my Will and Estate after my Family Law matter was resolved.
Matt Jones
Highly recommend.
Obviously no one contacting a family lawyer is in good place, but Dale was so kind and understanding as well as informative, and he really knows his stuff, and it left me feeling much more at ease.
I called his office in a frazzled state and afraid and Dale contacted me immediately and treated me with compassion. He’s smart and a good man, a good guy to have in your corner especially when so much is at stake.
Vanessa Taylor
I have been a client of Dale’s for 5 years now. He has helped me navigate through various family matters, from custody to my will/estate, and most recently a separation agreement. Throughout all the hard times, I have always felt that Dale has had my best interests in mind. I highly recommend Dale to anyone and I am very grateful for all his help and hard work throughout the years! 🙂
Eric Wells
I contacted Dale 6 years ago when I was first separated and he helped me navigate through the legal journey from start to finish. Dale is kind and caring to his clients needs and makes you feel like you are the most important person he is dealing with. Dale is very supportive and understanding which is very rare in that industry in my experience. I would highly recommend Dale to anyone, no matter where they are with their legal issue, and he will help to get you through it.
Karen Brodie
Dale handled my difficult separation and divorce matters with the utmost professionalism. He had my best interests at heart always. I highly recommend Dale and his staff with any family law matters.
Randy Verdoch
I am in a much better place at present solely because of Dale Turner. I was fortunate to have him represent me during an extremely stressful family law matter.
His knowledge, work ethic and professionalism brought calm to an otherwise hectic situation. His work is steadfast and he was quick to respond to any and all questions I had. It’s a wonderful feeling knowing someone has your back.
He. Got. Things. Done.
I have nothing but nice things to say about the man. Dale Turner is good people.
Patrick Flynn
A year ago I was in need of representation; I was led to Dale based on other positive feedback regarding his services. I hope this does the same for someone else.
Throughout 18 years of making support payments, multiple lawyers, over 100K in legal costs, and no end in sight, I started representing myself.
Most recently, my ex-wife filed for more support as my income had increased since last agreement. At that time of the last agreement, I represented myself because I was tired of the excessive costs with no result.
This time I felt there was finally a case to end support because the duration of the payments had exceeded the length of the marriage.
I reached out to a prominent local lawyer to represent me. In the first conversation, I suggested I would like to settle this case and my preference that he work with the opposing lawyer to find a settlement. The lawyer responded that this was unlikely and that I would be paying to support for another 7 years and that court was unavoidable. I was not pleased with the lack of effort and I told him as much. He fired me the next day over email.
This was the best thing that could have happened. I came across Dale his excellent reviews on the internet.
When we spoke, I told him what I was looking for, and he asked me for information and got back to me a few days later. He thought my case called for a final settlement that depending on the other lawyer might be able to avoid court, he was in favor of dealing directly with the other Lawyer.
While it took over 6 months to come to a final agreement, we avoided court. Dale gave me frank advice and made time for me. Unlike other lawyers who ran up costs writing emails and preparing court documents, Dale wrote a proposal, which turned into the final settlement.
My legal costs to settle this matter were well below my expectations. Many other Durham region lawyers bill materially higher; and in my experience, they didn’t work towards equitable results for the parties. They seem to be more interested in adversarial activities that prolong the settlement process and drive costs up.
I highly recommend Dale if you need quality representation at a reasonable cost.
I feel fortunate that Dale represented me. He helped me finally end this matter and allowed me to move on with my life.
Randy Haverchuk
We very much appreciate Dale’s help and advice regarding an estate matter. He was unhurried, patient and generous with his time and we came away with a good understanding of our situation. We needed advice quickly and we were able to get an appointment with him within two days. Thanks as well to Rose, who answered the phone and was very kind and helpful.

Terri Lynn Fotheringham
Dale is an incredibly knowledgeable and dependable lawyer. He maintains a professional yet human element to family law. He handles difficult high conflict cases calmly without loosing focus when the other party is difficult to say the least. I’ve been a client of Dale’s for a few years now and I would highly recommend him and his firm.
