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.

The best you can expect from a lawyer

I had a ticket for reckless driving (rockbridge). After listening my case , Mr Taylor made a perfect assessment w/o false expectation nor overstatement. He assigned to me different actions and followed up with me directly o through his team. I have been working for months with him and his team to hav...e the best outcome possible from the court case. I end up in court feeling I was in good hands and I was right: the outcome has been very positive. Ticket reduced. I would reccomand to hire him if you have a ticket for reckless driving : you could not have any better advise and professionality working with you.

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.

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.

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.
