Great Legal Representation

Mr. Taylor represented me in court for my recent reckless driving charge in Lexington Virginia. He was knowledgeable with regard to what I needed to accomplish and demonstrate to the judge in order to have the charges reduced. He told me which classes I needed to take and what information I would nee...d to have ready to present to the judge at my court date. Leading up to my court date, I found Mr. Taylor's office staff to be very helpful and informative. They provided quick and accurate responses to my questions and made me feel confident that I had all the necessary information to ensure a successful trial. As a result of working with Mr. Taylor, following his advice and instruction my ticket was reduced from a reckless driving charge to a speeding ticket. I am greatfull to have worked with him and I would recommend him for any traffic related legal defense.

Not worth it.

He didn't do anything that I couldn't have done myself yet I paid him my money and ended up paying my fine too. Conviction. He requested items and did nothing. I wasn't asking for much but for him to be a lawyer. He didn't even try.

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.

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.

Great counsel, great outcome...and even better people!

After being found guilty of reckless driving in traffic court, I switched to Mr Taylor's services for an appeal. It was evident from day one that Mr Taylor and his team were knowledgeable, straightforward, and eager to give me the best possible legal representation that they could. Mr Taylor and his ...staff kept me informed and in front of all the requirements and possibilities of my case and trial; as well as answering my endless questions. Despite the overwhelming odds against me, and due to Mr Taylor's representation, the court reduced the charge to speeding and handed me the most favorable outcome I could have hoped for. Mr Taylor and his staff not only provided me with superior legal support, but throughout the entire process their warm personable attention created a family environment with which (despite the circumstances of our acquaintance) I am honored to have been associated.
