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.

My desired verdict was achieved with Mr. Taylor's help

Although I had a very unusual case to work with, Mr. Taylor did an extremely thorough job of familiarizing himself with the material relevant to my charge and dissecting the statutes to determine their meanings to ultimately obtain a verdict in my favor. Mr. Taylor made himself extremely accessible t...o answer any of my questions, providing immediate responses over email and meeting in person with me on very short notice. As it was my first time appearing in court, Mr. Taylor quelled any uneasiness with his meticulous explanation of the entire court procedure. I highly recommend Mr. Taylor if you are looking for a lawyer that is very professional and attentive to his clients.

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.

Phenomenal Lee Taylor

I was traveling with my two cousins and my sister through Virginia and was stopped by a state trooper for speeding (92/70). I received a citation for reckless driving and a court date. I live in Florida and needed representation. After calling a sister church in the Lexington area I received Mr. ...Taylor's name as a possible attorney. The minute I spoke with him I knew he was the person I wanted to represent me. He was able to reduce the reckless driving charge to improper driving with 3 points on my license and a fine of $150.00 which is almost unheard of for such a conviction. But it didn't end there. He filed an appeal to the case the next day and on March 9, 2012 the charge was dismissed completely with no consequences whatsoever. I had a lot of prayer support from family and friends but I have to say that Mr. Taylor ROCKS!!!! What a great attorney and what a great staff (especially Janet!) - he went above and beyond the call for me. He is truly all of the above - reliable, honest, informative, caring, and efficient!!!!
