BEST LAWYER IN LEXINGTON

I recently had a reckless driving case that was for speeding and was extremely nervous about the entire thing. Lee and his team were not only responsive and advisory, but professional, process oriented and people centered. His ability to explain very quickly the court process (because this was my ...first offense); calm my fears by sharing the honest possibilities and then sharing my responsibilities pre and post court gave me the confidence that I had chosen wisely in choosing Lee. I will say that is also important to me that he has a relationship with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and isn't afraid of sharing that with those who will listen. My outcome was favorable and I believe it is because of his approach and aptitude for the legal profession.

Excellent Representation in Reckless Driving Case

Mr. Taylor represented my 17 year old son who was pulled over for reckless driving (90 in a 70 mph zone) near Lexington, VA. Mr. Taylor concisely explained our options and had us assemble responsive information that resulted in the the court placing the matter under advisement for a 6 month probatio...nary period. We absolutely could not have achieved such a favorable outcome without Mr. Taylor's counsel and knowledge. Mr. Taylor also counseled my son about responsible driving and the dangers of distracted driving and speeding. I would highly recommend Mr. Taylor.

Speeding ticket

I was given a speeding ticket in VA a couple of months ago. I am new to this Country so I didn't know any lawyer I could contact for assistance. I had a look on Internet and found the names of a few layers working in the area where my case was going to be discussed. When I spoke with Mr Taylor I imm...ediately knew he was going to be the one I wanted. He was very professional, explaining in details the possible consequences of my traffic offense and his plan of action to give me the best chance of a favorable outcome. He was also very reassuring and I had the feeling I could trust him. My confidence in him was not misplaced. The court verdict exceeded my expectations: my charge was dismissed! I am very grateful to Mr Taylor and would definitely recommend him.

High Praise for Lee Taylor!

Roughly 2 and a half months ago I was pulled over on I-81 for driving 84 MPH in a 70 MPH zone, which, in Virginia, is a Reckless Driving offense. 2 days later, I solicited the legal help of Mr. Taylor, and from the first moment we spoke I knew that I was in the hands of an honest, knowledgable expert.... I spoke to Mr. Taylor extensively in the months leading up to my trial, and he was extremely thorough in collecting all of the necessary facts and documents for the trial, as well as extremely patient in explaining the process to me and quelling each of my many concerns. On the first day we spoke, Mr. Taylor assured me that he would get my charge reduced. After defending me at the trial with the level of expertise that I came to expert from Mr. Taylor from each of our exchanges over the past 2 months, the charge is going to be dismissed (pending 6 months of advisement). Truly, I could not have been more impressed with my experience with Mr. Taylor, and I recommend him to anyone in need of legal counsel.

Reckless driving

I HIRED MR TAYLOR LAST SUMMER FOR A RECKLESS DRIVING 87 /70 HAVENT HAD POINTS ON MY LICENSE IN OVER 10 YEARS. He was very responsive the first 3 times we spoke, but after i hired him he was very difficult to reach! HE ADVISED ME "THAT HE WOULD DO HIS BEST" BUT I HAD NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT HE KNOWS E...VERYONE REAL GOOD. I GOT MY DMV RECORDS AND WENT TO A DRIVING IMPROVEMENT CLASS. ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER I FURTHER FIND OUT THAT HE DIDNT DO ANYTHING FOR ME, IM FOUND GULITY, AND HAVE 8 POINTS ON MY LICENSE THAT FOLLOWS ME BACK TO MISSOURI. " Mr. Taylor took my $600 and did nothing for me" HE DID NOTHING TO KEEP ME INFORMED AND AVOIDED ME AFTER I PAID HIM. I asked for a refund or some kind of compensation that he completely avoided BRIAN
