Professional Attorney

I was speeding on I-81 in the Lexington, Va area, live in NJ & needed a Professional Attorney to represent me. After checking this website, reading the Bio on Atty Lee Taylor, and speaking to others by telephone in the community, I contacted Mr. Taylor's office. We conversed over the telephone and... I received sound practical advice. Everything Mr Taylor told me, that day, he would do was thoroughly & professionally accomplished. Mr Taylor suggested I attend an 8 hr AAA driver training course rather than an on-line course. This advice played a major factor in the judges decision because the Judge knew, by my actions, I was serious about what I had done and the far reaching implications of speeding. Mr Taylor had the court date changed to give me time to attend the AAA course and for him to become familiar with the details of my case. The day before the rescheduled court appearance, Mr Taylor met with me in his office to review exactly what would transpire in court. He allayed my fears & I knew once meeting Mr. Taylor that this was a professional man of integrity. The next day we met outside the courtroom and when called before the judge, Mr Taylor had all of the supporting documentation ready to substantiate my testimony. He asked relevant questions to keep me on track & I felt he did an outstanding job representing me. It was most obvious that Mr Taylor has developed a tremendous respect over the years from the Judge, prosecutor and members of the court. I could sense their total appreciation for Mr Taylor's honesty & integrity. I do not plan on speeding anywhere, nevertheless in the great State of Va; however, if I needed an Atty in the Lexington, Va area I would go to Mr. Taylor immediately. He truly is an outstanding Attorney with the highest degree of character and I highly recommend him.

Excellent Service

Mr. Taylor is an absolute beast. He represented me for a reckless driving ticket and had the entire case settled with the prosecuting attorney before we went into the courtroom. Great result and great service, couldn't be happier with the outcome of the case.

Reckless driving Speeding ticket in Rockbridge County

I got caught speeding in Rockbridge county well over 20 mph and got lucky that I didn't go to jail that day. In my research for a good attorney I called several and I spoke to Mr. Taylor. He took the time for a phone consultation to answer all my questions even though I wasn't his client yet. I real...ly liked the way he presented all the things I had to do and several options for my case. His helpfulness and honesty led me to hire his law firm. Mr.Taylor and his firm worked with me step by step to provide different options that would help my case (traffic school, community service, speedometer calibration, etc). I live in Florida and traveled there for the day of court, well worth it! Because Mr. Taylor had prepared everything so well and explained to me everything that would happen, we had a great outcome and my ticket was reduced to a regular speeding ticket. I know that this is a rare outcome at such a high speed in rockbridge county, but thanks to Mr. Taylor and his team and expertise (and my following their directions), we were able to achieve the best result. I highly recommend Mr. Taylor and his firm.

Mac traffic offense

Excellent preparation and handling of a case that may have resulted in jail time. Mr. Taylor acted with extreme adaptability when faced with changing circumstances. At the very last minute, he became aware that there would be a visiting judge. Mr. Taylor sat in on several cases to determine how th...is judge reacted and handed down decisions. Once called into the courtroom, the case going on at the time was very similar to what Mr. Taylor would be defending. He conferred with the Public Defender and secured a very favorable decision based upon the judge's ruling in the previous case. It was, in my opinion, a brilliant strategy. Although Mr. Taylor prepared us, he saw the opportunity to work with the prosecutor and the appearance took all of 10 minutes.

Highly recommend!

I recently hired Mr. Taylor for a Reckless Driving charge in Rockbridge County. Both Mr. Taylor and his paralegal answered all of my silly questions, as I have never been in this sort of scenario. He is a very reasonable and approachable professional. I know who I will be calling if I have any more t...rouble in that area. The price was worth it and the outcome was good. He is friendly, yet hardworking. I highly recommend him to anyone in a similar situation.
