I'm still in shock
When searching for a lawyer for my son I was turned down by many in my local area and told by one, "you can try one of those young lawyers around little rock, they might work with you". So I did and I am so glad I did! He listened, he asked questions, he was timely, clear and upfront about everything...

I met Taylor after I received a DWI, which initially started with a minor traffic infraction. I wasn’t sure what to do other than seek legal counsel, and I am beyond pleased that I did. Taylor was professional and very forward with my situation, and extremely informative every step of the way. He was...

Fantastic criminal defense attorney
He represented my son in Van Buren County. My son was told he was facing prison time and Taylor took his time to review his case and the outcome was fair and just. Highly recommend him for criminal cases. Reasonably priced. Thank you !
Taylor D. Martin's Lawyer Endorsements
"As a former public defender, I had the opportunity to work with Taylor Martin on an almost daily basis. He is a knowledgeable and experienced attorney who does not back away from a fight. If there is a legal argument to be won, he will absolutely not let it go, fighting diligently until the judge makes a decision. An incredible benefit with Taylor Martin is his experience with the Prosecutor's Office for several years. His insight into the inner workings of that office will no doubt be invaluable. He has a good working relationship with the deputy prosecutors, and is respected and well-liked by the judges with whom he works. His experience handling cases from both sides coupled with both his tenacity and his compassion makes him an absolutely fantastic choice for anyone in need of a defense attorney."
"Taylor is an experienced trial attorney, versed in all areas of criminal law, including but not limited to all major felony crimes, DWI, Drugs, Trafficking, Sex Assault Defense. Taylor has extensive courtroom and litigation experience. Highly recommended!"
"Taylor worked for my law firm prior to joining the prosecuting attorney's office for the 20th judicial district. I can easily recommend Taylor without reservation or hesitation for any of your criminal defense or personal injury needs!"
"I endorse this lawyer wholeheartedly! We have worked on numerous criminal cases together and he is definitely an advocate for his clients!"
"Taylor is an excellent attorney who has the experience and know how to get the results his clients want."
"I endorse this lawyer. Attentive, fair and responsible."
"Taylor is an excellent trial attorney, I can say that as someone that’s tried cases with him! Also, a great guy all around, highly recommended!"
"I endorse this lawyer. He was a Prosecutor for years. Always prepared. Good trial skills. Most importantly, he cared about justice. He respected me and my clients. I highly endorse him."
"I have known Taylor for several years and worked many cases against him when he was a prosecutor. He has extensive experience in criminal law, in and out of the courtroom. He is a great lawyer, a fierce advocate."
"Taylor was one of the best prosecutors I've ever gone up against. He uses those same skills as a criminal defense attorney, much to the benefit of those accused of crimes."
"I have known Taylor Martin for several years, and I have worked opposite him on a number of different types of criminal cases. He was a deputy prosecutor for the 20th Judicial District, and has a lot of experience on the other side of the aisle. It is my understanding that Taylor recently opened a solo criminal law practice in Conway, and will be handling criminal defense matters all over central Arkansas for clients lucky enough to hire him. The prosecutor's office's loss is the public's gain - Taylor will be a valued member of the criminal defense bar, and will do a good job for his clients. I endorse him as a criminal defense lawyer."
