Great Representation, Service, and Outcome!

During a trip from down South to Virginia and back, I was pulled over and charged with Reckless Driving (85 in a 70 zone). Was surprised that this was considered a misdemeanor charge since the laws in my home state are much different. Found the AVVO site and narrowed it down to two attorneys that r...epresented the Rockbridge county area. After speaking with both, I decided on Lee Taylor and I'm happy that I did. He immediately requested a continuance which gave me time to gather my driving record (which was clean) and to schedule a driver improvement course (National Safety Council, 8 hour classroom). A letter to the judge was drafted based on my previous conversations with Mr. Taylor that included circumstances of the day I was pulled over, along with some personal background which I think added a human element since I could not be physically present in court. In summary, the charge was reduced down to a 80/70 speeding infraction which does not carry the misdemeanor label. A very pleasant experience given the situation. Highly recommended!

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.

Reckless driving in Lexington Virginia? Give Lee a call.

Lee Taylor provided superior service while handling my reckless driving citation that I encountered while traveling on I81 thru Rockbridge County, Virginia. I was an out of state client from Florida and he worked with me as I provided his office with information that he requested in my defense (driv...ing record, calibration report and the account of incident). He was very knowledgeable and provided guidance through out the process. It was a tough case but with Lee's help I was able to gather a favorable outcome (reduction to speeding with completion of community service in Florida). I would recommend Lee and his staff if you are in need of an attorney in the Lexington area. Thanks again to Lee and his staff.

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.
