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.

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.

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.

High Praise for Lee Taylor!

Roughly 2 and a half months ago I was pulled over on I-81 for driving 84 MPH in a 70 MPH zone, which, in Virginia, is a Reckless Driving offense. 2 days later, I solicited the legal help of Mr. Taylor, and from the first moment we spoke I knew that I was in the hands of an honest, knowledgable expert.... I spoke to Mr. Taylor extensively in the months leading up to my trial, and he was extremely thorough in collecting all of the necessary facts and documents for the trial, as well as extremely patient in explaining the process to me and quelling each of my many concerns. On the first day we spoke, Mr. Taylor assured me that he would get my charge reduced. After defending me at the trial with the level of expertise that I came to expert from Mr. Taylor from each of our exchanges over the past 2 months, the charge is going to be dismissed (pending 6 months of advisement). Truly, I could not have been more impressed with my experience with Mr. Taylor, and I recommend him to anyone in need of legal counsel.

Great counsel, great outcome...and even better people!

After being found guilty of reckless driving in traffic court, I switched to Mr Taylor's services for an appeal. It was evident from day one that Mr Taylor and his team were knowledgeable, straightforward, and eager to give me the best possible legal representation that they could. Mr Taylor and his ...staff kept me informed and in front of all the requirements and possibilities of my case and trial; as well as answering my endless questions. Despite the overwhelming odds against me, and due to Mr Taylor's representation, the court reduced the charge to speeding and handed me the most favorable outcome I could have hoped for. Mr Taylor and his staff not only provided me with superior legal support, but throughout the entire process their warm personable attention created a family environment with which (despite the circumstances of our acquaintance) I am honored to have been associated.
