Expectional Attorney

Thank you for Mr. Taylor for keeping the lines of communication open, thoroughly explaining the law and for answer any questions. Thank you for the ...best outcome. I really appreciate your representation. I'm grateful.

Attorney Taylor is not just a great lawyer — he’s a great person.

I was charged with reckless driving in Dinwiddie County, VA for going 90 in a 70. Being from out of state and already having one reckless charge on my record from 2022, I knew I couldn’t afford another. I searched for legal help but didn’t feel confident with the usual names reaching out — until I fo...und Attorney Taylor in Richmond. From the first conversation, I could tell he was different. He was straightforward, relatable, and took time to understand not just the case, but who I am as a person. He gave me clear instructions (driver improvement course, community service, character letters), and I got it done. On the day of court, he called me before it started — then called again shortly after to tell me he got the charge reduced to a non-moving violation. That meant everything. Attorney Taylor was honest, professional, and truly committed the entire way. I’m beyond grateful for how he handled my case, and I know without a doubt he would give that same energy to anyone who retains him. I recommend him without hesitation.

Amazing lawyer!!

I was really stressed out after getting a traffic violation and being told that I need to get a lawyer, and that’s when I went to find Mr. Alex Taylor. Mr. Taylor helped ease all of my concerns immediately after meeting him with his outstanding demeanor, kindness, and knowledge. I cannot express enou...gh how glad I am to have hired Mr. Taylor as my lawyer. He took an interest in getting to know me and my life before defending me, which I feel attributed to the great outcome that was given in court. He is very personable, empathetic, and amazing at what he does. Anyone would be lucky to have him as their lawyer!
