Phenomenal Representation

I received my first ever ticket for reckless driving by speed (91/70) at the end of September. After searching websites such as this one, I contacted Mr. Taylor after receiving my ticket and was impressed by how quickly he responded to my request and how much advice and information he gave me even be...fore I had officially requested him to serve as my attorney. The staff was also so accommodating and friendly, and I was also very impressed with the price of his representation! Mr. Taylor made me feel extremely comfortable at my court date and was extremely upfront and honest with me about how he felt the trial would go and what to expect. He was easy to talk to and was very professional. It was also very nice to see that he was friendly with and even joked around with the officers and prosecutors present at the court house. The hearing itself went very well and we got an even better outcome than we had really expected! I received a deferred judgment with a 12 month probation time along with community service, but will have the reckless driving charge dropped completely as long as those two conditions are carried out. Overall I am extremely pleased with the outcome and would not at all hesitate to ask Mr. Taylor for representation again. He is fantastic!

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.

Reckless Driving Ticket

Mr. Taylor is truly an exceptional attorney. Upon receipt of my reckless driving ticket (87/70), I contacted several attorneys in the Rockbridge area before deciding to go with Mr. Taylor - and I must say I am very pleased I did. With two prior speeding tickets in the past 5 years, it seemed unlikely... that I would see any relief. After retaining Mr. Taylor, he was very informative about what steps I could take to best help my case and was always willing to talk or meet in person whenever I had concerns. Throughout the entire process, he handled my case as if he were personally invested in it. After I was initially convicted, he encouraged me to appeal and we were able to a VERY FAVORABLE outcome! I would recommend Mr. Taylor to anyone!!

I received a speeding ticket while passing through Alleghany County last November. Lee Taylor identified my options and advised me on the best course of action. He and his staff were responsive, polite and professional. Needless to say, I am very pleased with the outcome. I highly recommend this ...practice.

Not your average attorney

Mr. Lee Taylor is not only an excellent attorney but a genuinely caring professional who obviously remembers WHY he wanted to practice law in the first place. I was given an appointment the same day I called. ( I am not from Lexington and was in town visiting my son a W&L student who had told me at t...he last minute about a serious traffic violation) Mr. Taylor worked me in his obviously busy schedule. It was abundantly clear he has a genuine concern for those who have a need for a lawyer. He explained in detail exactly what we were facing and the possible outcomes. I left knowing my son was in capable and caring hands. Unfortunately I have had far too many dealings with attorneys over many years. Mr. Taylor is from the old school - when integrity was the norm and not exception. I strongly recommend him to anyone who needs top quality representation in Virginia. Lastly his fees are extremely reasonable.
