No time for my case

Back in May of 2016, I was charged with a DUI and a refusal. I contacted Mr. Taliaferro because in the past I have referred people to him and he did good. Definitely not my experience. My case was continued numerous times. I paid him his money right away with no questions asked. My problem is I made ...4 appointments with him so we could go over my case. Each time, he hadn't talked to the prosecutor or anyone involved and knew nothing about my case. He stated he would try his best and gave me the impression that we had a fighting chance. The day of court he suggested I take a plea. I was completely blindsided because I felt if he was following my case during the year, then I would have had a better outcome. I wrote him two letters of how disappointed I was and asked for some type of reimbursement and finally after 3 weeks he responded basically saying no. Worst experience of my life.

BILL TALIAFERRO, JR. FAR EXCEEDS THE LIMITED REVIEWS FOUND HERE, IN EVERY ASPECT

I first engaged Mr. Bill Taliaferro in the early 1980's; a period in my life when likey very few would have lent the time, marked their agendas, exhibited the professionalism, the humanitarianism and the respect that Bill has always commanded and upheld when addressing any of my legal matters, (be th...ey "minor" or...not so minor.) More than three decades later, I find myself replying to others -- local, reknown attorneys, Law Enforcement family affiliates, State Troopers, NSO retirees and a barrage of colleagues with whom I've had the happy coicidence of working, knowing and hob-knobbing alongside, that while recent, suggested legal counsel potentials are appreciated and would, no doubt, gladly accept "my business" I've but a single, emphatic phrase ; "No! I WANT Bill!" It is my plan to accept only the best that the Board has to offer--that gentleman is Mr. Bill Taliaferro. Bill Taliaferro has never once failed to review, critique, candidly blueprint and deliver workable, successful Action Plans that were exclusively tailored to my specific needs. I will, again, choose only Mr. Bill Taliaferro's expertise. There is no doubt in my mind that Mr. Bill Taliaferro will represent my sorely-overdue appeal to the Virginia Court Systems that will , alas, allow me to not only close the doors of my ancient, 25+ years ago, checkered history, (long since having come 180 degrees in my personal karma and direction) but, I am fairly certain he will supply the nails to secure those dark passages, for good. So, if you've skeletons, or even more lively "monsters in your personal closets," I can state without a moments hesitation, nor a single blink, "Bill Taliaferro remains a Prince among men and a 5-Star attorney, consistently surpassing immeasurable, enth degrees:" I would hazard to say that most Commonwealth Attorneys would much rather meet him on the golf course than in Court.
