I am a graduate of North Carolina A.&T.State University where I received a B.S. degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Banking and Finance.  I received my law degree in 1991 from North Carolina Central University School of Law, in Durham, North Carolina, where I was a member of the Law Journal and Chairman of the Moot Court Board. 

 Early on in law school, I knew I wanted to return to my hometown to practice law. I opened my practice in my hometown in 1991.  Practicing at home offered me many opportunities to handle a variety of cases ranging from family law, adoptions, criminal cases, workers compensation, and wrongful death cases.  After eight (8) years in private practice, I went to work for the Catawba County Department of Social Services where I handled cases ranging from abuse and neglect of children, terminations of parental rights, adoptions, child support, and adult protective services.  In 2001, I opened my practice in Gastonia.  I have also worked as a contract attorney for the Alexander County Department of Social Services, Gaston County Department of Social Services, and the Lincoln County Department of Social Services.  

I am licensed to practice law in North Carolina and am admitted to practice in the U.S. Federal Courts for the Western District of North Carolina and the Middle District of North Carolina.  My professional memberships and affiliations include the North Carolina Bar Association Family Law, Bankruptcy Law, and Business Law Sections; the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys; the American Bar Association; and the Gaston County Bar Association.  

I believe in giving back to my community.  I am the leader of a Girl Scout troop.

Practicing law is what I always dreamed of doing as a child and I am thankful to be living my dream.

Simple, Smooth and Professional
Attorney Taylor helped my family to update all wills and other documents needed for our family and my business as a financial advisor. She has the 3 most important things for her practice; skills, experience and personal touch. My wife and I fully recommend her and her firm for any services that she can do for you. Thanks again Regina, Job well done.

Our experience was outstanding!
I was told that she was the go to attorney for adoptions. And we are glad we did. Our experience was outstanding! We could not have asked for a more caring attorney with excellent customer service, friendly staff. She is very knowledgeable about adoption procedures and was always there to answer questions and give advice through the entire process.

Divorce
In June of 2016, Ms. Taylor prepared my uncontested divorce, and i was very pleased with her professionalism. I must add that this is one attorney that returns calls and or emails within 24hrs. (that's great!). She speaks to you and not at you. She is very pleasant, professional and her price is reasonable. Most importantly, she kept me informed by mail with each piece of correspondence that was sent to the other party. Her staff has great customer service skills, and there is always a real person to answer the phone. My divorce was done in the specified time as she promised. I am a very satisfied client. Thank you Ms. Regina Taylor, it was good doing business with you.

Specializes in Excellence!
Both of my parents and several of my family friends have went to Regina and we all have received wonderful outcomes. I battled a divorce and custody battle a few years back and decided to represent myself; I still received mostly what I wanted with our custody situation but in reality I needed a lawyer to benefit our son to the fullest. Things started to change within a year and I was having our son a lot more than our prior court ordered arrangements. Running to Regina was the best thing I have done to make sure my son has a stable home environment! I truly appreciate everything she has done and she was very reasonable in price. Every penny spent was worth it to have the 100% security of no other changes to ever be made in the future and no risks for changes of paperwork to bite either parent in the rear at a later date. She has made me feel so comforted, easy to talk to (via phone, email, in person), she is very patient, and I am assured and happy with my outcome. I would recommend her to everyone (which I have) and I would return to her if needed at any point in time.

Honest, deligent, easy.
My experience with Mrs. Taylor has been as wonderful. From the start she was upfront with me & made things as simple as possible. She was real with me, & never sugar coated anything or gave me false hope. She was easily accessible by phone, email, or dropping in at her office. If she wasn't available she contacted me back quickly. She got me an outcome that I was very pleased with & I would highly recommend her.

Divorce
I had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. TAYLOR to handle my divorce. She greeted me with a warm smile and a friendly handshake. She answered al my questions I sent her by email in a quickly manner. MRS. TAYLOR made sure I understood everything that she was saying before I signed any papers due to me being hearing impaired. To me she went above and beyond her job as a lawyer to help me with my situation. I would most definitely recommend her to my family and friends. If I should need lawyer services in the future I will be certain to contact her. Thank you for a job well done Mrs Taylor. .

I had the pleasure of working with Ms. Taylor throughout my adoption. She went above and beyond to make sure that I clearly understood all aspects of my decision. She was readily available and had very timely responses to any and all questions or concerns of mine. She bondes with my family and made it clear that she had my best interest at heart. Very trustworthy.

Adoption
Mrs Taylor did a great job in getting the paperwork filed and our adoption finalized. She was very nice and patient with my impatience and me wanting things "yesterday." We are now the legal parents of two beautiful children.

Wonderful Experience
Mrs. Taylor is a wonderful attorney. She was caring and understanding through a very embarrassising time of my life filing for chapter 7 bankruptcy. She gave me great advice and treated me like and friend and a person. I would recommend Mrs. Taylor to anyone needing help.

Recommend to Anyone!
We filed bankruptcy during a stressful time in our lives. Regina helped us from the beginning to the end. She was very knowledgeable, responsive, caring and supportive. Our case has just been discharged and we want to say "thank you" for all that you did for us. We would highly recommend her services.

Good experience
We had a good overall experience with Regina. We used her to finalize our son's adoption. Due to some other factors out of her control it has taken almost 8 months to get the adoption finalized. She is professional and generally responds to emails fairly quickly. She was a little vague as to what to expect after we got our son home and sometimes hard to reach to answer a question but overall a good attorney.

A dangerous choice
Regina has a very hard time returning calls, answering questions, remembering her clients names, anything you tell her seems to go in one ear and out the other. She will forget tasks she agreed to complete, mistakes on paperwork, causing wrong names on court documents! She's moved her office at least twice since we hired her. We have paid over $2500 and she never returns my call. She was a good lawyer but she may be reaching a time where she needs to retire. I think we have made a dangerous choice that could cost us dearly.

Do NOT use !
I have had the worse possible outcome and time with this attorney ! If you want your case to be over looked and you to be over charged for staying on top of her at doing her job be my guess ! This law office is not whom you are wanting to represent you at all! I had to beg and plea for help the entire time this was dragged out. $8,000 later was not worth it…the defendant was even willing to settle for MORE before court and she turned down the request. I never Got documents on time or informed of my case in detail. I was Told one thing and the defends attorney was told something else after court. This law office is a JOKE and I will be going to the BBB and NC Bar !
