Joseph Edward Taylor Jr.

I hired Joseph Taylor almost 2 months ago. When I spoke with him after paying the $50 to talk him. He told me to pay him $1500 to take my child custody case and he would do the intake and talk to me within 2 weeks. I paid him almost 2 months ago and never ever spoke to him. All I needed was a court d...ate scheduled. He couldn't do that let alone even call me once. Finally, after 7 messages sent and calling the office somebody called me back today because last night I sent a message asking for a refund. He answered them about my refund but never would answer about when to take 5 mins to call me after lying to me and taking my money. Now I'm refunded with the money with no lawyer and no court date. I HIGHLY recommend you do NOT use this guy!!! Terrible terrible terrible!! Obviously doesn't care whatsoever about your situations and is too busy to ever take on a case or will take your case and not do anything with it!!! Now I'm starting from square one because of a lying, selfish lawyer!

I received a speeding ticket over the summer and received numerous letters in the mail from lawyers asking to be hired in support of my case. When narrowed down i called several to talk to on the phone and Mr Taylor called me back immediately. After deciding to go with Mr Taylor I realized I had a fe...w other questions about supporting documents I had for my case, and a few questions. After several emails with NO responses, voicemails, and phone calls over a two month period it was apparently impossible to reach Mr Taylor. All I ever heard was the same excuse from the receptionist “I will pass your message along and have him call you back.” We’ll my court date comes up now and still no word from Mr Taylor and I come to find out from again his receptionist after calling 5 days after my court date to find out the final judgement that Mr Taylor was running behind that day and they pushed the date out a month. Now another waiting game a month later my date comes up again I need to call Mr Taylor’s office to find out the final verdict and I’m told a letter is being typed up and when Mr Taylor reviews it she will send it out. Two weeks later In the postal mail I get a letter stating I owe a fine to the state of VA but no explanation whether i have points on my license or any other information. I am Extremely dissatisfied with this service and would not recommend Mr Taylor to anyone or trust him in that sense. If you cannot communicate with a lawyer your paying there is something VERY wrong. I’m sure your also thinking why didn’t I ask for my money back to hire someone else? Well I tried that and I was told “Mr Taylor will call you back about a refund” nope never received that call either !!!!

After receiving a speeding ticket in Virginia, and being an out of state driver from NY, I called Mr. Taylor's office and was greeted very professionally by his secretary. Shortly after Mr. Taylor promptly responded to discuss my traffic violation. Mr. Taylor was very thorough and maintained excellen...t communication with me. I would highly recommend Mr. Taylor for any and all traffic matters.
