Outstanding Attorney!

I contacted the law office of Cecilia Buck-Taylor for a second opinion on a mediation issue. Soon after, Cecilia took me on as a client. Cecilia and her staff worked tirelessly researching and preparing my case. Cecilia proved to be very experienced and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Cecilia... for divorce matters that require a caring, talented, and respected attorney.

Competent, Trustworthy Attorney

We've used Cecilia to manage a range of legal issues including drawing up wills and managing the closing of our home. She is very competent, responsive and professional. I highly recommend her.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
