Joseph Edward Taylor Jr.

I highly recommend Atty. Taylor and his office. I was charged with doing 91 in a 70 mph zone, so it was a Reckless Driving Speeding Misdemeanor charge. He appeared in court on my behalf and I ended up doing 24 hrs Community Service, completing an 8 hr online Defensive Driving Course, and paying $431... in fines to the court, and my charge was dropped down to an Improper Control/Driving charge, which is an Infraction, not a Misdemeanor. A win in my book. Regarding Attorney Taylor - he was great from the start. He responded to my call right away and was informative and reassuring. He clearly explained what the penalties and consequences of my charges were and explained what he could do to lessen the charges. I was totally stressed and at a complete loss as to what to do, especially since I lived out of state, and hiring him immediately took all that stress away. He was affordable and his services were worth every penny. His office was wonderful as well. Megan, a Legal Assistant at the office, was very responsive to all my emails, which I really appreciated. Getting through the whole process really would have been impossible without them, especially being out of state. The court appearances were scheduled and then continued 4 times! His Office kept me informed, finally appeared in court for me, and in the end, gave me a letter clearly articulating exactly what I needed to do and by when in order to fulfill the Deferred Disposition and get my charges amended. I can't stress enough how worth it it was hiring them. Thank you Attorney Taylor and staff!!!

I will start by saying that my driving record is NOT the best by far so when I received a reckless driving ticket in mecklenburg county, I freaked out and feared jail! After doing a little research I learned that its better to hire a lawyer that works in the county that you received the ticket in. Th...at's when I found Joseph E. Taylor. I called him on a Saturday morning and left a message and he called me back a few hours later! I explained to him that I lived in Richmond and he assured me that I would not have to go to court and that he would take care of everything.....for cheap! ( I think I paid him 250 bucks total!) He and his secretary told me everything that I needed to send to them and then they took care of everything without my presence! NOW HERE ARE THE CONS: after that first initial conversation, it was very hard to get back in contact with him. I would call a lot with questions and concerns and would never get a call back until I finally contacted him on his cell. When I finally did, he assured me once again not to worry and that he would take care of everything. He had my charges dropped from a 86/60 to a 69/60!!! Thank you again! If I (God forbid) received another ticket then I would definitely hire him again!

I contacted Mr Taylor to represent in me in a reckless driving ticket on June 12th. He meet with me before trial and explained everything about what to do and say in front of the court. He stood with me at the bench and asked for a dismissal. The state trooper gave her statement after which the judg...e brought down his gavel and dismissed my case. I have to say he was an excellent attorney who I would highly recommend to handle your case

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.
