Highly recommended

Attorney Taylor has a thorough knowledge of the law and defended many cases with determination and commitment. Attorney Taylor was always available to answer my questions and concerns. He put me at ease throughout the legal process. I highly recommend him for a defense attorney.

The Best!

We hired Mr. Taylor to represent our son on 3 different felony charges. Mr. Taylor went well above our expectations and his assistant was beyond helpful! I could never say enough good about this man. If you are ever in need of attorney, this man and his assistant are the best team around! Caring, com...passionate, knowledgeable and understanding are still not enough to describe these people. They are absolutely the best around!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
