Stopped By the Police with Weed in Your Car and need an Attorney On Speed Dial?

Attorney Chareese "Queen" Haile, also known as The Veiled Lawyer has registered as an "on-demand" attorney with "TurnSignl.

Getting pulled over by the police is stressful. Have you ever wondered what could happen if there was an attorney in your passenger seat?

I am proud to share TurnSignl, an app that puts you face-to-face with a lawyer during traffic stops and auto accidents, to ensure driver and law enforcement interactions are lawful and low-key, so everyone makes it home safely — every time.

TurnSignl was created to bridge the gap between residents and police, and to help drivers feel safer and empowered on the road. The cost is only $60/year — but if you can't afford it, it's free!

As one app user said, “This app is essential. Having the ability to have an attorney on the phone within seconds of getting pulled over gives me a greater sense of confidence and reassurance when dealing with police—ESPECIALLY as a Black man. ”

Key Features

➔ Record the Interaction: Using the front-facing camera of the user’s phone, the TurnSignl app records the entire interaction, and stores the video in the users’ cloud. This video is accessible exclusively by the user — not TurnSignl, and not the attorney or law enforcement officer.

➔ Connect in Real-Time: The app can be launched 24/7/365 with the press of a button or a single voice command, and immediately alerts every lawyer active in the service area, eliminating downtime and ensuring TurnSignl can provide attorney guidance in real-time.

➔ Video Chat With Attorney: An expert attorney appears on the screen to guide and de-escalate the interaction. TurnSignl attorneys are rigorously vetted and go through certified de-escalation training to ensure they are prepared to turn down the volume during interactions between police, drivers, and passengers.

➔ Commitment to Social Justice: TurnSignl is proudly mission-driven and dedicated to the advancement of social justice and equity for all. TurnSignl was created with intention to bridge the gap and help all drivers feel safe and empowered, with a particular focus on marginalized communities including non-white and LGBTQ individuals.
