Edward B Tayter

I interviewed several attorneys and I feel lucky to have found Ed and Lauren. They were always professional, explained possible and likely outcomes with clarity and helped me to not lose my mind with worry. They were available to answer questions (when needed) and I always felt like I had the best re...presentation possible. Given the facts in my case, I am really pleased with the outcome and would hire them again without hesitation, should the need arise. Ed's past experience as an MVA judge not only helped me understand a complicated process, but he also saved my license (without any restrictions) with equal parts skill and luck.

He treated me like trash and kept pushing my court date back. Worst decision I’ve ever made was to hire such a disrespectful man. $2500 down the drain, I trusted the state more than him. First time ever in trouble , never even had a ticket . I was in a minor fender bender and told the officer I had a... migraine and had taken a migraine medication 6 hours earlier this was non controlled medication and my neurologist would have testified and written letters as well as many other doctors their was no evidence in the case and I spoke to other lawyers after paying this horrible male chauvinist that said the judge would have thrown it out. He lied every step of the way and an issue that could have been easily handled in. District court he had moved to circuit court which caused tremendous stress. It’s been over a year and I’m still dealing with stress of this open and shut case not being resolved. He also told me to take a plea bc PBJ would not effect my teaching license but that was another lie.

It was my first DWI offense and hopefully my last. I was leaving a concert after having some drinks. I felt okay to drive and the concert wasn't far from my house. As I was leaving I forgot to put on my headlights. I saw the cops following me and they eventually pulled me over. The officer asked if I... had drinks and I said yes. He asked me to step out the car and I did all the field tests. After doing a breathalyzer they told me they were gonna take me in. At the station I blew .06 the state tried to get me for DWI which is the lesser offense. They claimed I was buzzed driving. Mr Taytor knows the law very well and he is very familiar with all the judges. And more importantly he knows how to the system works. The officers had body cam footage which they failed to present the first court appearance. So Mr Tayter asked for the case to be postponed until they give him the footage to review. The second court date came and the state handed him the footage as he walked into the courtroom giving him no time to prepare beforehand. He asked the judge for the case to be dismissed because the state had ample time to give him the footage but gives it to him as we walked in. And the judge went for it. Case got dismissed and is now expunged. I ended up finding out that I did very well on my field tests and I was upset that I had to go through all of this. But I'm glad that I chose him to be my lawyer. Because he fought for me. Whereas other lawyers I went to wanted me to take a PBJ which is not something I needed on my record

We used Ed in a family DUI matter - he was fair, had great communication, and knew the DUI/criminal justice system like the back of his hand. He quoted us a flat fee which was reasonable, and didn't charge extra for additional court visits, which was needed in our case. He has a quick mind and sharp... wit, which put us at ease in our dealings. We are quite satisfied with our experience of Ed, and can wholeheartedly recommend him - he is a pleasure to work with.

I searched carefully online for a lawyer to handle my DUI case. It was imperative that I do my homework on my lawyer as this was my 2nd DUI. My first was in another state years ago, and the 2nd was in the state of Maryland. When I found Ed I looked at his reviews and seen that he had dealt with 2...nd time DUIs, and they were all positive. The initial consultation was kind of weird as he is a fast talking kind of guy, and for me all that lawyer mumbo jumbo is gibberish to me lol. I will have to say though, the man knows what he was talking about. Didn't make any promises to me at all, but he most definitely went to battle for me. Took over a year of a fight, but overall...not guilty even with my blood being drawn as evidence. I plead guilty to some charges, but no jail...and got to see my family for the holidays. THANK YOU ED!
