CRIME VICTIMS
Violent crime is a reality we face every day. It can leave the survivors with permanent devastating physical and mental injuries. For the families of those lost to the violent acts of others, it can rob children, husbands, wives, and parents of a loved one who was taken too soon.
Because violent crime is a foreseeable risk, individuals and organizations can and must take action to prevent crime on their properties, at their events, and crimes perpetrated by their employees. Our Dallas injury attorneys have extensive experience representing victims and families of those harmed by criminal conduct.
At the Turley Law Firm, our lawyers are dedicated to Integrity, Experience, and Compassion. Please call 214-691-4025 or email turley@wturley.com to schedule a private discussion about your case. We help crime victims and their families in Texas and throughout the United States.
