William Chandler Bonham Taylor

I contacted William C. B. Taylor / Taylor Law Group after receiving a referral for help with a serious SNAP/FNS administrative disqualification matter. My case involves a disputed Intentional Program Violation finding, an administrative hearing record, disqualification consequences, and possible repa...yment issues. I was not calling for casual advice. I was trying to find legal help for an administrative/public benefits legal matter. During the call, I was told that I “didn’t sound like I needed SNAP benefits” because I “sounded educated.” I was also told that instead of paying $100 for a lawyer, I “should go make an income.” He also said his minimum was $800, even for five minutes of work. In addition, he made a comment that I understood as implying I did not need his help because I am a white female. A law firm does not have to accept every case. I understand that. But there is a professional way to decline representation, and this was not it. The comments were dismissive, judgmental, and completely missed the legal issue. The question in my case is not whether I “sound” like I need SNAP benefits. The issue is whether DSS properly sustained an Intentional Program Violation finding and whether the hearing record supports that decision. Based on this experience, I would not recommend this firm for public benefits, DSS matters, administrative hearings, or anyone seeking respectful legal guidance.
