Well prepared and knowledgeable

Mr Taylor was exceptionally well prepared and knowledgeable in my case. I was charged with Reckless Driving by Speed. Mr Taylor accurately and confidently presented my case as well as countered any challenging questions from the prosecuting Attorney. Easily accessible throughout this entire process. ...Absolutely would not want to go through this process without him.

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.

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.

Exemplary Attorney

I was pulled over and charged with reckless driving (87 in a 70 zone). I had a speeding ticket within a year and other in 2007. I would have certainly been convicted if it were not for Mr. Taylor's excellent service. Mr. Taylor is a very reliable and trustworthy attorney, with extraordinary knowledge... and skill. His professionalism is exemplary. He did the most thorough preparation before we appeared in court. He represented me extremely well and made an impossible case work. The charge was dropped! I most enthusiastically recommend Mr. Taylor!

ETHICAL LAWYER

I received a speeding ticket (80 mph in a 70 mph zone) in March and since I live in CT, I called Mr. Taylor (I found his company information on the Internet) to ask if he would represent me in court. He spent time on the phone with me listening to my case and the fact that I had also received a spee...ding ticket the previous year. Based on that previous ticket, he said it would be better for me to appear because the courts are very strict with repeat offenders, and they might look on my situation in a more positive way if I was personally there, instead of being represented by counsel. I did exactly what he said (even though I had to drive 10 hours each way to the court appearance -- I don't fly anymore) and he was totally correct. I was given the opportunity to attend driving school in CT, to send a CT clear driving record to the court and to pay a small fine, so it was not reported to CT or my insurance company. Most important, I still have a clear driving record. I know that Mr. Taylor could have charged me $300-$400 for representing me, but the outcome might not have been as positive, and he was honest enough to decline the business because he didn't believe he could help the situation. He didn't charge me anything for the conversation and his advice was most appreciated.
