Excellent, thorough, highly recommended!

Michael A Taylor is an excellent attorney who is thorough and efficient. He helped explain the situation to me clearly. He was attentive to the situation at hand and informative of it as well, making sure I 100% understood the recommendations he gave to me. If you are looking for a hard-working, depe...ndable attorney, I recommend Michael!

Would Highly Recommend!

Michael was amazing. His communication and resources are unmatched. He had all of the experience, knowledge, and contacts to ensure that the outcome was in our favor. Michael was extremely relatable and made us feel comfortable and at ease even at times when we should have felt the opposite. I will a...bsolutely use him again in the future!

Highly Recommend

I had a great experience with Mr. Taylor. He helped me work through the aftermath of a speeding ticket super quick. He traveled for me, took care of everything and sent me the papers digitally, which also made things efficient. He was respectful and answered all my questions without judgement. ... He also sent me back all the money he didn't need. I've never had a lawyer do that. So thankful for Michael!

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.
