This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

A rising star in Lafayette. He is above and beyond better than any attorney in this area. And I've vetted several attorneys

He knows the law and will go to the fullest extent to make sure you're heard and taken care of. I gave him a shot in the dark and he's been better than I could ever expect. You re not just a number

Exceptional

I've reached out to Taylor on a few separate occasions and each time he has been extremely helpful. If I was ever unable to reach him, he responded in a timely manner and had all of the answers I needed readily available. Taylor is a well rounded attorney that I would recommend to any family member o...r friend that I have. He truly is there to help.

Fantastic Lawyer

I hired Taylor for my divorce and property settlement and he was really easy to work with. He took time to answer all of my questions and was very knowledgeable. He was also very understanding of my financial situation and worked with me so that I could afford his services. I would totally use him ag...ain and recommend him to everyone I know!!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
