Services Rendered were above and beyond the call of duty

Fred has represented me as well as been a great consultant. Mr. Taylor always looks after my best interest and gives common sense easy to understand advice.

Posted by Jason | September 08, 2015 | Hired Attorney

Honest and Professional

Could not be happier with Mr. Taylor's commitment to my needs and his honesty. Many lawyers have a bad reputation for numerous reasons but Mr. Taylor is not you average lawyer. He has never been too busy to answer any questions I may have or just provide his expertise. I have already recommended Fr...ed Taylor to multiple associates and I will never go to another lawyer. EVER! It is almost impossible to find an attorney that you feel cares about you more then his paycheck, but Mr. Taylor is that attorney.

Posted by Terri | September 08, 2015 | Hired Attorney

Excellent Service!

Fred was accessible and responsive. He thoroughly and expertly took care of matters in a timely manner. I am very pleased with the excellent service received. I will definitely recommend him to any friends who are in search of a competent and effective attorney.

Great listener and very intelligent attorney

I really appreciate the fact that he listened to me and gave me full attention. He was able to get my ticket thrown out completely because of his fast thinking and knowledge of the law. I was very impressed by his demeanor. I will definitely use him in the future.

Posted by Jim | June 25, 2015 | Guardianship

A true advocate!

My family and I retained Mr. Taylor for a matter involving a guardianship & conservator petition of our mother, and we have nothing but good things to say about the service received. When we initially met, he presented to us a clear picture of what we could expect, fully executed his plan of action, ...and was professional in his handling of the matters in Court. Well worth the time and money!

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.
