91/70 Reckless Driving Speeding in Brunswick County
I highly recommend Atty. Taylor and his office. I was charged with doing 91 in a 70 mph zone, so it was a Reckless Driving Speeding Misdemeanor charge. He appeared in court on my behalf and I ended up doing 24 hrs Community Service, completing an 8 hr online Defensive Driving Course, and paying $431 in fines to the court, and my charge was dropped down to an Improper Control/Driving charge, which is an Infraction, not a Misdemeanor. A win in my book.
Regarding Attorney Taylor - he was great from the start. He responded to my call right away and was informative and reassuring. He clearly explained what the penalties and consequences of my charges were and explained what he could do to lessen the charges. I was totally stressed and at a complete loss as to what to do, especially since I lived out of state, and hiring him immediately took all that stress away. He was affordable and his services were worth every penny. His office was wonderful as well. Megan, a Legal Assistant at the office, was very responsive to all my emails, which I really appreciated. Getting through the whole process really would have been impossible without them, especially being out of state. The court appearances were scheduled and then continued 4 times! His Office kept me informed, finally appeared in court for me, and in the end, gave me a letter clearly articulating exactly what I needed to do and by when in order to fulfill the Deferred Disposition and get my charges amended. I can't stress enough how worth it it was hiring them. Thank you Attorney Taylor and staff!!!

Highly recommended for motor vehicule tickets
I had an excellent experience with JET and his firm. I had an out of state fail to move over ticket, he was able to reduce it to a no-point defective equipment charge without having me appear in court. Throughout the process he and his office were very responsive to my emails. I highly recommend him

reckless driving ticket in Brunswick County
I contacted Mr Taylor to represent in me in a reckless driving ticket on June 12th. He meet with me before trial and explained everything about what to do and say in front of the court.
He stood with me at the bench and asked for a dismissal. The state trooper gave her statement after which the judge brought down his gavel and dismissed my case.
I have to say he was an excellent attorney who I would highly recommend to handle your case

Mr. Taylor was very efficient and highly effective. He successfully managed to get my reckless driving charge reduced to defective equipment with 0 points. Couldn't ask for a better result.

Mr. Taylor is a pro. Charges reduced!
I received a speeding ticket, and apparently in VA the laws are such that it is considered a criminal offense if you are speeding above 80 (79 and below, it's a normal speeding ticket). This can result in a CRIMINAL offense on your record, which has terrible consequences, such as getting a job. VA is the only state that does such a thing...quite the racket in my opinion. Thank God I found Mr. Taylor.
You will be inundated with lots of mail, and they will suggest outlandish fees. Do not stress out. Ignore them all and hire Mr. Taylor. Don't even bother with any of those other people. I have done the legwork for you, and trust me shopping around and speaking to multiple attorneys can. Not only is he priced fairly (I am not rich) but he is far more knowledgeable and professional than his competitors.
After all was said and done, he had the charges reduced to a defective equipment charge which is not even a moving violation. I hope to never get a speeding ticket over 80mph again, but if I do, I would not hesitate to hire Mr. Taylor again.

Joseph Is Awesome!!!!
I literally just got out of court with Joseph. I was charged with reckless driving, and the prosecutor was adamant about giving me jail time. Joesph countered that, and I ended up paying a fine, along with a 60 day VA suspension which is fine considering I live in MD. I couldn’t be more satisfied. Not only was his firm affordable, but they are thorough in representing their clients. I would definitely hire Joseph again (if needed). Hopefully this will be the last time lol.

Excellent assistance
Mr Taylor recently helped me with a traffic ticket I received while traveling in Virginia. Upon contacting his firm, he promptly returned my call, went over my case with me, correctly explained the options, and what I should have expected. He represented me in court and everything went as he originally told me it would. He was very timely in providing me with all the updates and I truly valued his assistance in my matter.

Great attorney for traffic violations
Mr. Taylor was very professional and upfront in his dealings with me, and even offered a price break since I am on a very limited fixed income. He was going to be in the court I needed him on that day, so did not charge the usual travel costs. He did what he said he would, and I am very satisfied with his representation, even though it did cost me. But - it was my own doing.

Affordable/Responsive/Professional/Competent
I am a NC resident who was ticketed for speeding in VA. Subsequently, I was in touch with at least 10+ VA lawyers to get a brief consultation and estimate for services. I chose Mr. Taylor to represent me because his fees were one of the more reasonable ones, and he answered my preliminary questions in a timely manner. Through our communication I felt the sense that he is honest and genuinely wants to help his clients. Fast forward to a few weeks later, my reckless driving by speed charge (6 points) was reduced to "defective equipment," thus resulting in no "points" on my driving license in NC. I am grateful for his services and highly recommend him!

Highly Recommend!
Mr. Taylor did a fantastic job for me. I had an out of state speeding ticket for 83 in a 70 not far over the line on I85 in Mecklenburg County. Mr. Taylor works in the area and came recommended to me through other law firm contacts I have in the Richmond area. His fee is modest and he was able to reduce it to a no-point defective equipment charge without my having to appear in court, as I had no violations on my record in 6 years. We spoke on the phone and he explained to me about my options and outcomes. His office kept in touch with me and made sure I knew what to do next. I had contacted my auto insurance company before contacting Mr. Taylor and found my insurance would raise to $250 every 6 months with the reckless driving charge that came along with this. So this was definitely the right choice.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Mr. Taylor handled my speeding ticket on my behalf. His consultations are free. He provides affordable rates. Fortunately, for my case he was able to have the charges reduced from 75/60 to defective equipment, with the exception of a D.I.P. course in either VA or my home state, TN. He is easy to communicate with and readily accessible for questions.

Reckless driving
I was charged with reckless driving in the Brunswick county. I contacted Joseph by phone and discussed with him. He is so nice and respectful. He represented me on the court day, and and no points were given to me as the result of the conviction. I recommend him for any one with a similar case.

Very pleased with result
I was charged with speeding 86/65 with potential 6 points. Contacted Mr. Taylor's office. He was in court, but his able and helpful assistant said he would call back and he did shortly thereafter. Told me what I could expect. Answered all my questions. Very reasonable fee. Charge was reduced to defective equipment with 0 points conditional on completing 8-hr driver improvement class. Very pleased with this result.

Professional representation for traffic violations
After receiving a speeding ticket in Virginia, and being an out of state driver from NY, I called Mr. Taylor's office and was greeted very professionally by his secretary. Shortly after Mr. Taylor promptly responded to discuss my traffic violation. Mr. Taylor was very thorough and maintained excellent communication with me. I would highly recommend Mr. Taylor for any and all traffic matters.

Reduced Reckless Driving (80/60) to No points
I hired Mr. Joseph Taylor Jr. about a reckless driving ticket for driving at 80 in a 60 mph zone. He and his secretary handled my case very professionally, and collected all documents from me and represented me on my behalf on the court date. He helped me obtain a reduction after discussing the case with Officer Booth, conditionally finding me guilty of defective equipment resulting in a no-point record on my license. I just needed to pay the court fees and take a Driver improvement clinic on a later date. I found his service to be friendly and professional and very cost-effective in comparison to all the other options.

"Joseph was my lawyer and a lifeline when I walked into an unfamiliar courtroom over a year ago. His professionalism, extensive knowledge of the local court's practice, and years of experience gave me peace of mind throughout the process, and helped me get a better result than I ever would have gotten on my own. Five stars for sure."
