Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Chris is someone I do not hesitate to send business to. In an era where lawyers are not known for their "bedside manner," Chris is a compassionate, intelligent stand-out. I endorse and highly recommend him.
Shane Herbert, Family Attorney on Oct 8, 2015
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Chris and I have worked on a couple cases together. While both cases were highly contested, we maintained good communication and professionalism throughout the litigation. I highly endorse Mr. Taylor.
Kevin Vagovic, Family Attorney on Nov 6, 2014
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I have known Chris professionally for almost 2.5 years, and he has extensive knowledge and experience pertaining to all areas of family law. He consistently conducts himself with a professional and caring demeanor both toward his clients and fellow attorneys.
Jonathan Lucas, Family Attorney on Sep 17, 2014

I have known Chris Taylor for nearly 6 years and hold him in very high regard. My firm does not handle family law matters and I have referred numerous clients to him with the utmost confidence that he will handle their cases with a strong knowledge of the law as well as compassion. I would strongly recommend Chris Taylor to anyone looking for a family law attorney.

I do know Mr. Taylor personally but I have reviewed his answers on this site, especially in the area of family law. His answers are not simply telling a person with a legal question to see an attorney like so many do here, but informative answers helping direct those with legal issues in the right direction.
Matthew Majeski, Divorce and separation Attorney on Sep 17, 2013
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Attorney Taylor provides excellent legal advice for the Avvo community and would make an excellent choice for family law issues.

Stephen Mosca, Intellectual property Attorney on Jul 17, 2012
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse this lawyer. Any business interested in protecting its most essential elements needs to have a guy like Christopher Taylor. Chris stays abreast of the latest developments, knows how they can benefit or harm his clients, and makes the appropriate recommendations and actions to benefit or insulate as needed. And in the area of Family Law, Chris is compassionate and highly effective, two traits that are often difficult to find in a single family law attorney. I would recommend Chris to anyone needing advice and services in these areas. He's a good lawyer and a good person.
Robby Cook, Family Attorney on Jul 16, 2012
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Taylor is a smart, detail oriented, and diligent attorney. I would strongly recommend him for any contract, family law, intellectual property, and general legal matters.

Mr. Taylor meets the highest standards and has proven to be one of the best in his field in the areas of copyright and trademark law. He is professional and knowledgeable.
Graham Syfert, Family Attorney on Jul 14, 2012
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Faced with a family law issue, I would hire Chris to represent me. He is trustworthy and loyal to his clients and causes, and incredibly knowledgeable in his practice areas.
