Tyrone Turner’s Summary
I have more than 18 years of experience in the legal industry. 16 of those were spent as a litigation paralegal, and and 2 as a litigation support services consultant.
Tyrone Turner’s Specialties:
I was an "end-user" so I truly understand what is needed, and what is needed is different from one person to the next. My job is to my company's clients find the right solutions that will help them save time, energy, and money while operating efficiently. I do not want to give anyone a "cookie-cutter" solution as every case is different.
