Professional, Honest and Thorough

After receiving my citation I contacted several attorneys to represent me. Mr Taylor was the first to personally respond and agree to handle my case. He was very honest in assessing my situation but provided no guarantees on the outcome. Once I provided him the necessary documents via email he and hi...s staff took care of everything else. I did not even have to show up in court. I found out the results of the court decision the very same day the case was presented in Court and the outcome was as he had predicted. His fees are extremely reasonable given the situation and circumstances. If you are in need of an attorney to handle a traffic citation, stop your internet searching and look no further than Joseph Taylor. You will receive professional representation from the very beginning to the end.

Mr. Joseph Taylor Jr.

When I consulted with Mr. Taylor about my incident he told me what he would be able to do for my case which was exactly what I wanted to hear and expected to be done. I would definitely recommend his services to a friend/family member.

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)

Very effective!

Mr. Taylor spared me from having to travel from NY to Va to handle a traffic matter that (originally unbeknownst to me) was a misdemeanor for exceeding 80mph (85/70). My clean license remains clean, as he was able to have my violation reduced to a "defective equipment" charge with a minimal fine an...d requisite driver improvement clinic that can be taken online. I am highly satisfied with his handling of this matter for me, as it could have gravely affected me personally and professionally. His rate was very fair, plus he and his team were very respectful and professional. After speaking with several other firms, I am very happy with my choice,

"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.
