About Joshua

Charged with a crime? Call me as soon as possible. It is important that you do not place yourself in a bad position by answering questions, making statements, etc. My consultation is free and it can’t hurt to get some sound legal advice.

As an Attorney I respect and follow the oath I took when being admitted into the practice of law. Most importantly, I strive to be a zealous advocate for my clients by always putting their best interest first. Our Firm is dedicated to fighting for the individual and providing the best results possible through hard work, skill, and knowledge of the legal community. 

 

Over the years, Attorneys have received a bad perception. I believe this is due to lack of transparency, dishonesty, and an overall lack of work ethic. I address those perceptions by making sure I work hard and am honest with my clients.

    Review Joshua Taylor

    He does what he says

    Posted by

    Mr. Taylor has represented myself and 2 family members. My case involving a reckless driving ticket was thrown out of court. My mother in law was charged with DUI and he had it reduced to 6 months unsupervised probation and expunged off her record. An fellow employee was written for speeding and he had that dismissed. If you need a mature smart energetic attorney that will take care of your legal problems Mr. Taylor will represent you in a orderly fashion. 3 separate occasions I have called upon Mr. Taylor and he has handled the legal problems presented.

    Great trial attorney

    Posted by

    Mr. J. D. Taylor represented me on a D.U.I. along with a possession charge and careless driving. Mr. Taylor was very professional and knowledgeable. After trial, I was found not guilty of all the charges. I did have some trouble contacting Mr. Taylor as much as i wanted but his secretaries informed me he is in court most of the time. Mr. Taylor told me not to worry about my tickets and that he would handle them. He certainly did and i could not be happier with the service he provided. I would highly recommend him to anyone, especially if it is a criminal matter.

    Great job and results

    Posted by

    Mr. Taylor took his time explaining everything and making me feel comfortable through the whole DUI process. I will definitely be referring him to individuals in need going forward in the future

    I hired josh Taylor for multiple charges for two different county’s. They were both felonies. He went above and beyond. He’s very possnate about every case. He worked with me on payments and was even their when I got released. I’m so happy I hired him to fight for me and that’s what he did.

    Outstanding Attorney!

    Posted by

    My husband and I hired Mr Taylor to handle a fairly complex case and although we were nervous about his capabilities, he did nothing but assure us not to worry. In spite of it being hard to contact him and to get a returned phone call, in the end JD held true to his word. After a year of court appearances all charges were dismissed against my husband due to JD Taylor’s perseverance and commitment to the case. Although I never got the chance to formally meet Mr Taylor ( live out of state) I would like to thank him from the bottom of my heart for being the voice my husband needed to fight his case. Your work is greatly appreciated and we will be recommending you to any family or friend who ever needs a criminal attorney. Thank You again

    I hired Mr. Taylor to represent My boyfriend in his case, this case seemed a simple no brainer case but turned out to be difficult, despite the facts he made it happen with such a positive impact! I couldn't have been more happier, he also made me feel I had nothing to worry about, being that I was not in MS. I truly am thankful for his work and professionalism a outstanding attorney to say the least. His family like myself are truly grateful!

    Best Lawyer!

    Posted by

    Mr. Taylor is an amazing lawyer! He assisted with me with all of my traffic tickets and DUI charge. He was successful at getting everything dismissed. Mr. Taylor always kept me well informed and was available to discuss my questions or concerns. Another plus is that he is great eye candy, which helps especially in a stressful situation! If there is ever another time where I need a lawyer, I would definitely hire Mr. Taylor again!
