Knowledgeable and Veracious Professional

Mr. Taylor is a man I contentiously trust with anything I bring to his legal table. In a past life I was a single father looking down a road of uncertainty when it came to raising my son in a happy and healthy atmosphere. I came to his office with a cloud of fear hanging over me as I laid out all the... information I could. He allowed me to be myself during this process with no interjections or predetermined conclusions gaining the full scope of things as I spoke. He was an active listener, personable, precise, and very honest in his interpretation of my case. The stakes felt high that day being a single father and knowing that there is a stigma for men when it comes to custody cases. He quickly quelled that feeling and I hired him after that initial consultation. Garrett went above and beyond when it came to keeping me informed. He was well versed in using multiple avenues of communication insuring I was up to date with every action taking place. This would also include an after hours "expedited emergency injunction" with a judge to make sure my son came back to our home when things went sideways after a visit to his mother's house halfway across the nation. He understood how important my case was to me, my values of being a parent, single as it was at the time. He took the time to answer my questions and break them down in a layman way for me to keep abreast with the legal processes we were going through. I felt assured, I felt like I was employing a person who truly wanted to help. He and his staff treated me with as much respect as I brought to the table. Mr. Taylor laid out the road map as to what to expect prior to walking into the courtroom and kept my nerves in check. His professionalism and presence was apparent as he laid out questions in the courtroom. When the dust settled that day, I not only walked away with the ability to BE the father my son needed, but Garrett aided me in facilitating the safest and most successful environment for my son to grown up in. I will forever feel gratitude for what he provided to my son and I, and I will continue to seek his legal advice in the future with no hesitation if the need should arise.

Dedicated Attorney

Garrett Taylor has been my attorney for over 5 years. He has faithfully guided me through an extremely difficult child custody battle. Anyone who has been involved in such a case understands the emotional roller coaster one goes through when the safety and security of your children is at stake. Being... a father himself, Garrett gets first hand what this means and supports his clients accordingly. His experience and knowledge of the law are readily evident in the court room. I highly recommend Garrett to anyone looking for an experienced dedicated attorney.

Great Attorney

Garrett Taylor has been my attorney for 13 years now. What caught my attention with Mr. Taylor is his attitude and attention to the importance of family, both his passion for his own family and the importance of my family. I have only ever known Lawyers to be what the typical stigma is "money hungry..., selfish, and out for their own," this is not the case with Mr. Taylor, I have never felt taken advantage of and have always received fair treatment and honesty. Mr. Taylor has always been available whenever needed, I have had nothing but the best legal council with him, my personal need for council was emotional and time sensitive for the safety of a child, he showed such support in many ways I could never begin to explain. I have often told Mr. Taylor that I owe him my life for what he has done for my family. Mr. Taylor would not stop working on my case until the best outcomes were achieved, at one point my case went in front of Superior Court, over a 13 year span, this has included many many appearances in court, many hours spent away from his own family to protect mine, I am not naive to the sacrifices he has made for me, for this I can't say enough, Mr. Taylor's profession is a Lawyer, but his real gift is to help those in need. For any bumps in the road that may come along in my life or the life of my family, I have comfort in knowing I have the best Lawyer this town can offer. I would recommend 100% Garrett Taylor for any legal council needed. You will expect the best service and the most HONEST legal council out there.
