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.

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.

Speeding ticket

I was given a speeding ticket in VA a couple of months ago. I am new to this Country so I didn't know any lawyer I could contact for assistance. I had a look on Internet and found the names of a few layers working in the area where my case was going to be discussed. When I spoke with Mr Taylor I imm...ediately knew he was going to be the one I wanted. He was very professional, explaining in details the possible consequences of my traffic offense and his plan of action to give me the best chance of a favorable outcome. He was also very reassuring and I had the feeling I could trust him. My confidence in him was not misplaced. The court verdict exceeded my expectations: my charge was dismissed! I am very grateful to Mr Taylor and would definitely recommend him.
