Professional Attorney

Richard Taylor is an excellent attorney. Very professional and astute. I was very uncomfortable from the start but he put all that to rest and helped decrease my anxiety by providing the best information for my case. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney. Most impor...tantly, he won my case hands down and I am very greatful.

Couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag

Doesn't answer his phone. Literally just suckling off of the judicial system tax dollars. He could care less about right or wrong. Just wants that government cheese.

MisConduct

Mr. Taylor was very negligent with providing information to me as a client. I felt early on I could not trust him. He would rarely respond or even speak to me about my case until the day before. My case could not be lost UNLESS I did not show for court. Of course, he failed to inform me that date... of hearing was in person, and I was on zoom as ALL previous court dates had been held. He then calls and stated the Hearing was to be in person. The judge then Dismissed the Case as I could not make it there on time. He NEVER once, informed me that it was in person, even asked me the day before if I receive the meeting notice--- which is usually sent out for Zoom hearings. I believe he made a deal with the defendant in my case, as she was a police officer. Intention and Direct Negligence.
