Joseph Edward Taylor Jr.

I received a speeding ticket over the summer and received numerous letters in the mail from lawyers asking to be hired in support of my case. When narrowed down i called several to talk to on the phone and Mr Taylor called me back immediately. After deciding to go with Mr Taylor I realized I had a fe...w other questions about supporting documents I had for my case, and a few questions. After several emails with NO responses, voicemails, and phone calls over a two month period it was apparently impossible to reach Mr Taylor. All I ever heard was the same excuse from the receptionist “I will pass your message along and have him call you back.” We’ll my court date comes up now and still no word from Mr Taylor and I come to find out from again his receptionist after calling 5 days after my court date to find out the final judgement that Mr Taylor was running behind that day and they pushed the date out a month. Now another waiting game a month later my date comes up again I need to call Mr Taylor’s office to find out the final verdict and I’m told a letter is being typed up and when Mr Taylor reviews it she will send it out. Two weeks later In the postal mail I get a letter stating I owe a fine to the state of VA but no explanation whether i have points on my license or any other information. I am Extremely dissatisfied with this service and would not recommend Mr Taylor to anyone or trust him in that sense. If you cannot communicate with a lawyer your paying there is something VERY wrong. I’m sure your also thinking why didn’t I ask for my money back to hire someone else? Well I tried that and I was told “Mr Taylor will call you back about a refund” nope never received that call either !!!!

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.

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. No...t 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.

Joseph was fantastic and very personable when I could get him to respond to me, and ultimately turned my wreckless driving ticket into a nonmoving faulty equipment charge. I call it a win. I would definitely recommend him, but not if you need an attorney who will return your calls or ease your mi...nd haha. He will talk to you long enough to gain you as a client, and then ignore your calls and win your case for you.
