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.

A shining example of the BEST of his profession

I acquired a Reckless Driving by Speed (85/70) while trying to put too many miles in too short of a visit in Virginia. I live in Missouri, and currently work in Nebraska. Dealing with this issue in person was not an option as I was in the process of transferring from one Nebraska assignment to anoth...er, and had no additional time I could spare in Virginia to hire counsel in person, much less to appear in court. Back at work I made several web searches and telephone calls. I connected with Lee Taylor...who graciously agreed to take my case sight unseen and at a very reasonable fee. Lee was not judgmental and his personality was a positive addition to an embarrassing situation on my part. He did not 'sugar-coat' my situation, but was gently realistic. He identified the needed documents I would obtain, i.e. a notorized DMV report from my home state, and recommended my attending a Driver Improvement class as well. Lee and his staff kept me apprised of every step. I had no uncertainty regarding what was expected of me or what results could be anticipated in court. I was kept up to speed via email and phone, and was repeatedly contacted if I failed to acknowledge the most recent attempt. Happily, Lee Taylor's professional expertise resulted in a positive outcome. I would like to say that I will never use him again -- but only because I have promised my children that I will behave. However, if I ever find myself in that uncomfortable situation Lee will be my first request as counsel.

Wish I used him...

I actually did not use Mr.Taylor's services, although I am wishing I had. He was very informative and truthful in the outcome I should have expected in my case. I truly believe he would do anything to fight for his clients as he said he would "bend over backwards for me".

Possession

A simple traffic stop for window tent, turned into a search. During the search a smoking pipe and small amount of marijuana was found. The case was simple but had a few rough edges, I knew I needed an attorney. I called Mr. Taylor he seemed to be interested and felt we had a shot at the case. He was ...very knowledgeable of the terms to use in the court room an had the officer back peddling. He is very respective to his clients and seems to be well known in the court house. The first court date Mr. Taylor done all the talking, he is very smooth and knew what to say in response to the officers words on the case. The case was continued, due to argument of was there an illegal search, but i felt like we had it won. The following time Mr.Taylor and the officer had to write letters of why the case should be in there favor. The second time in court lasted all of 5 mins and the judge dismissed the case. If your looking for an attorney to represent you Mr.Taylor should not be over looked. His prices compete with the rest, but there fair for his job. He also put in a lot of extra work on my case and I was please with the outcome. We all know possession is 9/10 of the law to win the case was magnificent. Thank you Taylor & Taylor lawfirm
