Clarence O. Taylor IV is passionate about the practice of law and his ability to combine his legal experience with his background in psychology during his representation of clients.
Clarence received his Bachelor's Degree from the University of Georgia in 1991. In 1998 he was awarded his Doctorate from the Department of Counseling and Psychological Services at Georgia State University. He then received his Juris Doctor from Georgia State University College of Law in December of 2000. Clarence was admitted to the practice of law in Georgia in May, 2001 and is presently the owner of The Taylor Law Group.
After gaining significant experience with a boutique family law practice, Clarence left the firm to begin a partnership which subsequently became Clarence O. Taylor IV, P.C., and The Taylor Law Group. Presently, the Firm maintains a family law practice in Marietta and Savannah.
The Taylor Law Group is focused on the areas of divorce, contested child custody matters, child support actions, modification of child custody, support or alimony litigation and contempt issues. Clarence offers his clients tremendous insight in handling their cases by combining his psychological knowledge and legal experience.
Clarence served as a Magistrate Judge while maintaining the Firm's private law practice. Clarence's judicial experience gave him tremendous insight into the legal process, including the issuance of criminal warrants, warrant applications and small claims matters. This experience allows Clarence to better advise and help clients navigate an otherwise overwhelming and often intimidating legal system.
Clarence is a trial lawyer whose fundamental premise is honesty and integrity with both clients and the Court. He represents clients zealously and believes that parties to family law litigation are entitled to maintain the dignity and respect they enjoyed during the marriage. Clarence has tried numerous domestic cases before juries and judges, all while merging compassionate representation with zealous advocacy.

could not ask for better representation
Mr. Taylor was most impressive as a guiding light and professional "hired gun". Mr. Taylor went over and beyond what one might expect from their modern-day attorney.... he did what was expected, but seldom seen from today's attorneys. I'm most thankful for his/and his staffs, hard, experienced, dedic...

I struggle to find words that could possibly express the experience I had with Clarence, and his firm. I walked in as a very broken and desperate woman. I needed help in ever possible way imaginable... not just for myself, but my children. The situation was dire.. at best. Clarence, sat down wit...
Thank you for your review and candor--and honestly, I can only say "thank you" as humbly as possible via a "message." Your review was both humbling and appreciated. It was truly our pleasure not only representing you, but standing by your side and getting to know you and your family--not to mention seeing you through such a tough time. Thank you again Shannon and we look forward to seeing you (and your family) grow for many years to come! Humbly, Clarence

Fresh Start
When I first consulted with Clarence, he asked me the very same question I'd been constantly asking myself about my spouse. Paired with his insight as a psychologist, I knew I'd found the attorney that understood what I needed. When I finally met him in person, he was warm and friendly, and very disa...

Fail to prepare
This lawyer fail to prepare for the case properly after several months of evidence had been provided and the trial rebuttal was put together the day before the trial, which displayed poor representation in court. This case was drawn out for his personal monetary gain.
Unfortunately, I am at a loss to respond to you personally as this posting is "anonymous" and no contact information is given. I have no way of knowing even what your case concerned. I am sorry for your frustration and certainly understand the emotions that are sometimes involved in domestic and divorce cases. I can assure you that all cases are prepared prior to trial and our representation is never half-hearted. I am happy to speak to you personally about your specific situation if you would like to reach out to me directly. Thank you. Clarence.
