Posted by Ryan | August 28, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

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.
