Excellent!

I am from North Carolina and was pleased at the immediate attention Mr. Taylor gave my case. After a telephone conversation he assured me that he felt we would get a favorable out come from my reckless speeding ticket and that is exactly what I got. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of my q...uestions. Communication with his office was very responsive and clear. I would highly recommend Mr. Taylor!

Speeding ticket reduced to defective equipment

I had gotten a speeding ticket (77 in a 70) a while back and forgot about the court date until the day before. Thinking it was to late to get anyone to represent me, I had a friend tell me to call Mr. Taylor. I then called Mr. Taylor's office where I reached his secretary. I explained to her what had... happened, she said she was sure Mr. Taylor could represent me but he was in court at the moment, and she would get him to call as soon as he could. Shortly after Mr. Taylor called, I explained everything that happened and I was sorry for the short notice. He said it was ok and that he would represent me, all I needed was my driving record and he would take tare of it. The next day I received an email from Mr. Taylor saying the speeding ticket was reduced to defective equipment therefore no points would be deducted from my driving record. I was very pleased. Mr. Taylor and his secretary were very kind and helpful. I would like to thank them both.

Very Professional

I am from New York and got a Reckless Driving by Speed ticket in Mecklenburg County, VA. Did not think much about it until I found out that paying the fine would put a permanent criminal record on me. I consulted Joe and his response was fast, professional and very detailed. He answered all of my que...stions even before I could ask them! I am very much impressed with his professionalism and response.

Helpful, experienced, well worth the cost

I was an out-of-state driver clocked going 81 in a 70 mph zone (reckless driving by speed, and a misdemeanor offense with points attached and definitely an insurance spike). Mr Taylor was responsive and easy to work with throughout my case - he knew the judge and the ticketing officer from experience... and showed up for me on my court date as I was states away at a wedding that day. He got the charge knocked down to a 0-points and, most importantly, non-misdemeanor charge. He was very clear with me about what would be happening, how my case was being handled, and about the results when they were determined. I would definitely recommend Mr. Taylor's services (and I myself will be using cruise control when I go through VA from now on just to be safe)

Excellent Legal Regional Resource

Unfortunately, it was my second traffic offense within a year. The first speeding ticket resulted not only in court and lawyer fees but in a significant increase in my car insurance. Nervous about the "point" consequences this second round, I once again contacted the Joseph Taylor Law Firm for his ...professional advice. services. Not going into all the details, but note that the "disposition" results, acquired by Mr. Taylor were very favorable. Yes, I highly recommend this law professional, given his knowledge in Traffic Court, his excellent communications skills, and his attentiveness to each individual case and circumstance.

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.
