Mr.Taylor is nothing shy of extraordinary

Hired Mr. Taylor twice. He exceed expectations in both cases. Highly organized, punctual, and most importantly, HE KNOWS THE LAW. Highly recommended. And very reasonably priced. For what we got, I’d have paid double!!! Can’t thank him enough. Thanks Leland Taylor !!!

Very Gratful

Leland is an excellent attorney. He was always available when needed. He thought outside of the box when it came to my son's case. I am know without Leland's representation my son would have received a much longer sentence. He went above and beyond to represent my son.

Above and beyond

Honestly, I could right volumes about what this man has done for me and by extension my family. Leland Taylor defended me with a Stand Your Ground defense. He took my case to the 2nd DCA after our judhe, Judge Smith Jr., decided that case law didn't matter. I am so grateful to him and to his family f...or believing in me. He is compassionate, exceedingly knowledgeable and argues a case better than any TV lawyers. He also doesn't charge exorbitant fees. He even spent his holiday weekend meeting me and getting me out of jail. I would recommend him for anyone but especially for gun charges..

OUTSTANDING!!!

A family member made the mistake of being in the wrong place, wrong time, and in a bad situation. After trying to protect someone, things went drastically wrong, and they were arrested weeks later on a felony charge. Mr. Taylor - what can I say? You are an OUTSTANDING lawyer! We contacted him aft...er the arrest; he was able to get our family members' bond reduced and the race was on for trial!! This gentleman did everything in his power to perform his magic. Ultimately, he was able to get the major charge reduced from a 1st degree felony to a misdemeanor. He was not only proficient and capable, he was heartfelt, and available to talk to all of us whenever we needed to. We love you, Mr. Taylor, and can't thank you enough for keeping our family together!
