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.

Reckless driving reduction

Mr. Taylor showed up on my behalf in court and got my reckless driving charge reduced to guilty of defective equipment. He and his office were very professional and reliable.

Best of the Best

Mr. Taylor is the best lawyer I have ever used for a traffic violation. He is kind, smart, and an all around awesome man. He helped me get my traffic violation reduced to where I would NOT receive points on my license. Thank you so much for what you do Mr. Taylor. Hopefully I will not need his assis...tance in any other traffic matter, but if I do, I will undoubtedly be going back to Mr. Taylor!!!

Speeding ticket

I highly recommend Mr. Taylor for anyone seeking help with speeding and traffic tickets in the New Brunswick and South Hill, VA area. I am a military retiree that was given a speeding ticket (unjustifiably) on I-85S. Mr. Taylor got my violation reduced to improper equipment with no points assessed ...to my driving record. Great Job!

  • 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.
