Great Lawyer

I hired Mr Taylor during an extremely hard period of my life. He and his staff were always there for me to answer any questions and to bring my stress levels down. I have recommended other people to Mr Taylor for domestic help and traffic violations and all have been just as pleased as me. Mr Taylor... is the guy to hire!

Excellent

I hired Shane for my divorce. I had been served but waited several weeks to hire him. He was still able to quickly get into the case and get a a favorable result. He and his staff were always there when I needed them. Shane even returned my call when I was having visitation issues over a holiday ...weekend. I hope I never have to go back to court again but, if I do, I will hire him again.

GREAT ATTORNEY FOR LARGE AND SMALL ISSUES

One afternoon, at 4:30 pm, my daughter told she had a court hearing scheduled the next day at 9:00 am for a moving violation. I know that no matter how small an issue may seem, you will receive a better outcome when represented by an attorney. I called Shane's office 15 minutes before they closed for... the day and to my surprise I was told they could be in court the next morning. I immediately hired Shane to represent my daughter in court. Shane is extremely prompt, educated, informative and effective. If ever needed, I would hire Shane A Taylor and Associates again!

highly recommend!

I met Shane & his employees in 2016 and the only thing i regret is that i didn't retain them sooner. You can call the office at any time during the day and you will either talk with someone right then or they return your call promptly. Abby is the senior paralegal for this firm and she really is ...a person that you just feel comfortable talking to about anything. It's easy to open up to her and she always has the best advice. I love that she will tell you what you NEED to hear, not what you WANT to hear. She is an absolute sweetheart but she doesn't sugar coat the truth and I really respect that. Shane's associate, Mary Kristen Galanos, represented me in court recently and I can honestly say I've never had an attorney fight so hard for me. This was family court so it was important to me that I be represented by someone who was a mom or parent so that they'd take my case personally and Mary Kristen exceeded all of my expectations. She could have came to court and been in and out in 45 minutes but she really took her time negotiating with the other parties attorney. We spent a total of 4 hours at the youth center that day. Since that day, she has always returned my phone calls promptly and she has even responded to e-mails promptly even on the weekends. If you're looking for a female attorney that will fight for you and your family no matter what, Mary Kristen is your girl. I've visited their office on numerous occasions for different reasons... it doesn't matter who I am there to see or what for, everyone makes it a point to introduce themselves. They go out of their way to be professional, courteous and quick to meet your specific needs. I highly recommend Shane Taylor & Associates to all of my friends and family needing legal counsel and I hope that this review helps you make the decision to retain them as well.

•BEST•FIRM•EVER•

I initially hired a different attorney in my area but when it came down to a month before my court date, and my attorney wasn’t responding to my e-mails or phone calls, I quickly retained Shane Taylor & Associates and never looked back. Mary Kristen Franks (Shane’s associate) represented me in court... for contempt & no access to school or medical records - I was the plaintiff. After 10 1/2 months with little - no contact with my 12yr old children, I was given visitation that weekend. Mary Kristen even saw to it that my children and I were awarded court ordered counseling to see us through the painful year we had to endure. Parental Alienation Syndrome is a very real thing and when you meet an attorney or paralegal that knows all about that, it gives you some hope.
