Turnbull Legal Group puts E.R. "Ned" Turnbull's experience as a judge and prosecutor to work for people facing criminal charges and serious injuries in Harris, Brazos, Montgomery, and Galveston Counties, and throughout the State of Texas.
HOUSTON, Oct. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Turnbull Legal Group, a criminal defense and personal injury law firm with offices in Houston, Bryan, and Conroe, Texas, is led by Managing Partner Edward Randolph "Ned" Turnbull, a former State District Court Judge and Chief Prosecutor.
Where most attorneys know the courtroom from only one side, Turnbull has seen it from the bench and the prosecution's table. He now uses that experience to defend people facing charges from Capital Murder to DWI and to represent people seriously injured by someone else's negligence.
Turnbull is a former State District Court Judge, Chief Judge of the Criminal Division, and Chief Prosecutor. In more than 25 years of practice, he has tried more than 200 felony jury trials, and he is currently qualified as trial counsel in death penalty cases in two jurisdictions.
A career on every side of the courtroom
Turnbull's time on the bench included service on the Court of Criminal Appeals Rules Committee, the Court of Criminal Appeals Emergency Appellate Division, and the Trial Judges Association. He has received the Governor's Judicial Commendation and an Executive Department Proclamation, and he is licensed to practice in both Texas and Oklahoma.
That background shapes how Turnbull Legal Group approaches every case. As a judge, Turnbull decided how evidence was weighed and which arguments held up. As a prosecutor, he learned how the State builds its cases and where those cases tend to break down.
"When you've been the one ruling on a motion to suppress, you learn the kinds of arguments that actually matter in a courtroom. You also get good at recognizing which arguments are just noise," said Judge Turnbull. "I spent years watching how cases get built and how they get decided. Now all of that goes to work for our clients."
Putting that perspective to work early in criminal cases
The firm believes cases are often won or lost long before trial, so its process front-loads the work. After a consultation, clients first receive a plain-language case summary written for them rather than for the court, so they can understand the law and facts, and see exactly what they're facing. The firm then files targeted discovery requests for the specific evidence a case depends on, including video recordings, lab reports, police communications, and witness statements.
From there, the team evaluates every path forward, including dismissal arguments, mitigation for reduced charges, and motions to suppress. Before any major decision about whether to accept a plea offer or take a case to trial, clients receive a written analysis of their options, their realistic trial risk, and their sentencing exposure.
"People facing charges are usually scared, and a lot of that fear comes from not knowing what happens next," Turnbull said. "Our job is to make sure they understand their case as well as we do, so the decisions stay in their hands, and they can always make the best choice for their future."
Trial experience for serious injury cases
The same courtroom experience carries into the firm's personal injury practice, which focuses on cases where the stakes are highest. The firm represents people hurt in truck accidents and serious car and motorcycle crashes, workers injured on construction sites, and families who have lost a loved one to a wrongful death.
In cases like these, insurance companies and corporate defendants often move quickly to limit what they pay. Many count on injured people accepting an early offer rather than facing the prospect of trial. Turnbull Legal Group prepares its injury cases with trial in mind. It investigates how an incident happened, documents the full medical and financial impact on the client, and builds a case meant to hold up in front of a jury.
Rooted in the communities they serve
Turnbull Legal Group has offices in Houston at 6525 Washington Avenue, in Bryan at 218 North Main Street, and in Conroe at 336 ½ North Main Street. It serves clients throughout Harris, Brazos, Montgomery, and Galveston Counties (including College Station, The Woodlands, and Spring), and throughout the State of Texas.
Criminal defense remains the core of the firm's practice, especially DWI and felony charges. The firm also represents people injured in car accidents, truck accidents, and other incidents caused by negligence.
