William James Taylor

I hired Knoxvegas law and Attorney Bill Taylor to handle a very difficult child support case for me. For more than 3 years I have had money taken for child support by both TN and VA (where my ex lives). Although I have had custody of my daughter for more than 3 years, VA continued to intercept my t...axes and TN kept trying to hold me in contempt for not paying and being in arrearage. Finally, yesterday.....Attorney Taylor showed the judge how I have overpaid child support owed and finally got it settled. The time and effort he put into my case got me the outcome I deserved. He is a great lawyer in my opinion.

I went to Mr Taylor to get my child support judgement from out of state transferred to TN. My goal was to get a hearing that would allow me to obtain a garnishment. Mr. Taylor was unsure of what could be done but offered to speak to a judge personally to find out the best avenue to take. He stated... he would not charge me until he had this answer. I did everything that his office asked me to do, then waited. Nothing. Another visit to his office, same promise, same no charge until I get the answer. Fast forward several more months. He finally emails me and tells me he spoke to two attys, each with a different view of what to do, and dumped my case. His excuse moving more into criminal representation. In my opinion he made no attempt to speak to the Judge, could not figure out how to file the foreign document with Chancery Court, (a clerk told me it was a simple file which would then allow a hearing to be set), and did nothing to assist me. His secretary did call me and tell me it was time to pay something. My response was that I would gladly pay when he did what he said he was going to do. My case was simple, I shudder to think how he will handle a criminal case. If Mr. Taylor had no intention of doing anything until he received payment, he should have not made the statements he made. Bottom line, he just didn't do the job. Big talker, no action.

Mr. Taylor took my Personal Injury case and 2 years later was nothing but a waste of time. He put the case off onto his paralegal who was overwhelmed and gave information that was completely wrong on a number of issues. His paralegal left in the middle of my case and for a whole month I called trying... to speak to my lawyer about the case. All Mr. Taylor cared about was how fast I would take a settlement, did not care about me actually getting better, only what he could get. Whenever I tried to focus on my ability to get better he would get aggressive and verbally defensive towards me, even in front of witnesses. After I fired him I was given 30 days by the court to find a new lawyer and his office took 29 days to get me my records so I could find a new lawyer. I also found out that he hadn't given me all the info and even though I had moved twice he never updated the court.
