EXCELLENT

Mr. Taylor and his office staff were courteous, prompt in their responses with excellent communication, both via telephone and E-mail. Mr. Taylor appeared in Brunswick County General District Court on my behalf, for reckless driving charge by speed (83/70 on I-85 South). He successfully persuaded t...he court and the Judge ordered a reduction of reckless driving charge to defective equipment charge with no points on driving record. The disposition letter arrived via E-mail the very next morning. I would highly recommend Mr. Taylor with no reservation.

Reckless driving ticket in Brunsvick County VA 82/70

I'm very glad that I decided to choose Mr. Taylor to represent me. He followed up on time, explained to me in detail what's needs to be done. He was able to reduce it to a no-point defective equipment charge without me needing to appear in court. Thank you Mr. Taylor.

Very professional and helpful! Quick responses!

I was in a pickle and Joseph Taylor really came through for me. He followed up in a timely manner and was very helpful and informative on the whole process and really made me feel at ease. He got me off my charges and I would recommend him to anyone.

Quick, Efficient and Cost Effective!

I received a ticket for Reckless Driving (driving in excess of 80mph) in Mecklenberg County. Afterwords, I received several offers from Attorneys to represent me in this case. After talking to a few, I selected Mr. Taylor to represent me. He and his office were very responsive, answered all of my ...questions, and informed me on the likely outcome. Everything proceeded exactly as Mr. Taylor had suggested, and within a couple of hours of my scheduled court date, his office had forwarded the disposition letter with a favorable outcome. I was impressed by how quickly and efficiently Mr. Taylor's office handled my case. I would not hesitate to call on his services again or recommend him to anyone else with a similar issue!

Great Attorney = Joseph E. Taylor, Jr.

Mr. Taylor was very professional and personable. He was the first attorney I came in contact with after receiving my traffic violation (speeding ticket). When I called him, he responded immediately, unlike a couple of the other attorneys I initially contacted. Mr. Taylor told me exactly what info...rmation I needed to provide to him so he could make a plea on my behalf without me actually coming back to court in Virginia (I live in North Carolina). He let me know what the fee would be and approximately what I might incur in court fees. He did not hesitate to give me pertinent advice and made sure I was aware of every portion of the process. His secretary, Ms. Cook was very efficient as well and made sure I had the proper paperwork. I had a very positive outcome - no points incurred on my license! Thank you Mr. Taylor!

"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."

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.
