Cheryl Turner is a civil and consumer rights trial lawyer earning her B.A. and J.D. degrees from the University of Southern California (USC). For over 20 years, she’s managed her own legal practice with an emphasis on civil rights, consumer rights, business, tax, real estate, transportation and law. Ms. Turner also advises and assists clients with tax and regulatory compliance issues. Cheryl is a former Real Estate Broker and currently holds a Public Works Construction Management Certificate. She was appointed by the Governor to the Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians where she worked to ensure that qualified persons are licensed vocational nurses and psychiatric technicians by enforcing educational requirements, standards of practice, and by educating consumers about their patient rights.
Ms. Turner supports small business grants and tax incentives to help sustain businesses in order to create and expand job opportunities in California that pay livable wages. She has advocated to award government contracting opportunities to small, minority, women-owned, and disabled veteran-owned businesses for them to provide services towards the construction of public works projects. She supports the local hiring of those who live in the area where public projects are being constructed. As we work towards building a more sustainable environment, new jobs and other opportunities will be created to meet those needs and demands.
