Walter L. Taylor

It’s hard to keep a review short when it comes to sharing how professional, kind, and caring Walt Taylor is. After a simple surgery on my foot, an infection set in within a few days. The infection was misdiagnosed and treated incorrectly. Due to the infection, the battle to save my foot from bein...g amputated began. I lost the ability to walk for over six months, received two different IV antibiotics twice daily for three months along with a wound vac for four months to grow back the portion of my foot that was debrided. In less than a year I had two hospital stays and four aggressive surgeries on my foot. Shortly after the fourth surgery I developed what is known as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome in my foot and calf. CRPS, is known as the Suicide Disease and I know why. The pain NEVER stops and there is no cure. After the yearlong fight to save my foot and being diagnosed with CRPS I reached out to a few local law firms in hopes that someone would listen to my story and help me find justice for the unjust care I received. Unjust care, that I would be reminded of each day of my life because of the severe pain of CRPS. The law firms I reached out to told me they were not equipped to take my case. I was giving up hope until someone told me to reach out to Walt Taylor. Walt took time to meet with me and hear my story. He never wavered, looked at me right in the eyes and said, “I will represent you.” My lawsuit was a complex case, it was long and tedious, but Walt Taylor NEVER gave up the fight for me. Walt explained the steps of my lawsuit in simple terms and helped me understand all that took place. He fought for me and made sure my story was heard and that I would receive financial support to help care for future medical needs. Walt Taylor is one of God’s angels here on earth to protect and fight for those who cannot fight for themselves. Thank you Walt…thank you for “seeing” me for “hearing” me and for “fighting” for me.

Walt took on my long and difficult case with great skill. It required overcoming sovereign immunity for a large state institution. He was tenacious and skillful in doing so and it was a delight working with him. He is smart, and ethical and values justice as much as I do. The outcome of our case is... resulting in significant and positive changes in my institution and many others as well. https://www.dmagazine.com/healthcare-business/2023/06/utsw-settles-discrimination-lawsuit-with-renowned-scientist-dr-ellen-vitetta/ He is the best!

Walt did outstanding work for us from beginning to end. In the beginning, he set expectations by laying out possible outcomes to our case and let us know what to expect regarding the process and timing. As it progressed, he kept us updated and communicated as things changed and reset expectations alo...ng the way. It was clear all throughout the process he was our biggest advocate and only wanted the best possible outcome for us. We were extremely satisfied with the outcome of our case and the work Walt did. He was easy to work with, highly knowledgeable and, perhaps more importantly, genuinely seemed like a good person.

From the day I met Walt he was the utmost professional, helping me navigate a very difficult situation, not just in dealing with my employer and the court system, but also just being there for me as a friend. Walt is a God-fearing man, and one of the highest character people I have been around. Every...thing he did was done the "right way" and I will forever appreciate him being such an incredible person and lawyer. Our first court date he absolutely knocked it out of the park. I was just amazed at how intelligent and well spoken he was, getting the judge to see eye to eye with our point-of-view right out of the gate. Due to his decades of experience he truly understands the subtleties not just of law but of how people think and act, an incredible skill for such a talented lawyer. Later, my former employer tried once again to get our case dismissed, and Walt went toe-to-toe with not one, not two, but three high-paid prestigious lawyers, and was able to have the judge rule in our favor on both counts. It was just an incredible show of his talent and ability. At my deposition, I was having to re-live some very difficult times in my life, and not only did he help me get through it on a personal level, where at times I was in literal tears, but also coached me through how to say my piece and tell exactly what happened without letting my emotions distract me from being able to answer the questions concisely. Meanwhile, he did an amazing job in his depositions with my former employers, allowing them to set themselves up to show exactly what they did to me and why. Finally, Walt is a uniquely skilled attorney in that he can handle every stage of the legal process himself. He’s not only an experienced trial lawyer but also highly skilled in pre‑trial litigation and appellate work. Instead of needing separate lawyers for each phase, he provides seamless representation from start to finish, which on top of just being convenient, in fact keeps the strategy consistent throughout the case. There really isn't enough positive things I could say about Walt, as in my mind he has been a literal Godsend. My case against my former employer is still ongoing, but no matter how it turns out, I feel blessed to have met and gotten to know Walt and to have him in my corner during what has been the toughest time of my life. I would highly recommend him as an attorney for anyone going through issues with their employer, as I have no doubt he is the best in the business.
