Highly recommend!

I recently hired Mr. Taylor for a Reckless Driving charge in Rockbridge County. Both Mr. Taylor and his paralegal answered all of my silly questions, as I have never been in this sort of scenario. He is a very reasonable and approachable professional. I know who I will be calling if I have any more t...rouble in that area. The price was worth it and the outcome was good. He is friendly, yet hardworking. I highly recommend him to anyone in a similar situation.

Exemplary Attorney

I was pulled over and charged with reckless driving (87 in a 70 zone). I had a speeding ticket within a year and other in 2007. I would have certainly been convicted if it were not for Mr. Taylor's excellent service. Mr. Taylor is a very reliable and trustworthy attorney, with extraordinary knowledge... and skill. His professionalism is exemplary. He did the most thorough preparation before we appeared in court. He represented me extremely well and made an impossible case work. The charge was dropped! I most enthusiastically recommend Mr. Taylor!

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.

Review of Lee Taylor-reckless driving case in Rockbridge

Counselor Taylor represented my in a reckless driving case in Rockbridge County in May 2013. We spoke a couple of times prior to the court date as he helped me prepare for the court date. He was in contact with the prosecutor a couple of time before the trial. The prosecutor would not settle prior t...o the trial because of previous traffic offenses. On the day of the trial we met and reviewed the trial process and logistics. I felt prepared when I entered the court room. The end result was a deferred judgement that will result in the reduction of the offense upon the completion of community service. I have finished my assigned community service and Counselor Taylor is following up with the Court to make sure all of the required information and fees have been received. In Virginia, reckless driving is a Class 1 Misdemeanor. Had I not engaged Counselor Taylor, I have no doubt that I would have been found guilty of reckless driving. While waiting for my case to be heard, I observed several similar cases with other defendants and attorneys. I was represented by the best attorney that was in court that day.

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.
