Posted by Ian | May 23, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Mr. Taylor is a pro. Charges reduced!

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.

Speeding Ticket Representation and Resolution

I received a speeding ticket in Mecklenburg County Virginia which is about 150 miles from my home. I contacted Mr. Taylor, left a voice message and he returned my call within 30 minutes. During our conversation, he clearly explained my options, his services, that he personally handles his client'...s cases, and represented me on my court date. I travel a lot for work so it was very convenient and a relief to have Mr. Taylor appear in court on my behalf. Mr. Taylor was successful in reducing the speeding ticket down to defective equipment. No points were added to my driving record which keeps my driving record free of any violations and ultimately keeps my auto insurance rates from increasing. I would highly recommend Mr. Taylor for your traffic legal issues. He and his staff are friendly, knowledgeable and provide resolutions for speeding tickets.

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!

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!!!
