Reckless Driving Case

I was charged with reckless driving for going 87 in a 70. Despite my prior speeding ticket, Mr. Taylor reassured me that we had a fighting chance after many lawyers that I spoked with told me I had no chance. In the end, I was charged with speeding instead of reckless driving. Thank you Mr. Taylor f...or all that you did.

Highly Recommended

I recently hired Mr. Taylor to represent me on a Reckless Driving ticket (87/70) received in Rockbridge County by a local officer. Being from a neighboring state, I wanted to ensure I had someone that was thorough, and also familiar with the local courts. Mr. Taylor delivered on all accounts! I ...always believe in giving credit where credit is due. Mr. Taylor phenomenal job in representing my case, and was able to negotiate a favorable outcome in court without my presence. He and his paralegal were always prompt in keeping me updated, highly informed, and always willing to answer any and all of my questions/calls.

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.

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.

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.
