Great Austin/San Antonio Attorney

I live in Austin but got in some trouble while visiting my college buddies in San Antonio. I asked some of my attorney friends for a referral of an attorney to fight an intoxication case. Several people recommended Ms. Taylor. She seemed like a good fit since I could meet with her at the Austin offic...e and didn’t have to travel back to San Antonio, except for required court appearances. She is also very experienced in these matters. Ms. Taylor thoroughly investigated my case and did everything she could to get me the best resolution possible. She made sure I was excused from court, and I only had to appear for a final disposition. She kept me informed of everything that was going on and made sure I fully understood every step of the process. Now this case isn’t hanging over my head and I can get on with my life—and we made sure my record was preserved. Thankful my friends knew of a fantastic lawyer and grateful for a smart and capable defender in Ms. Taylor. I would trust her to represent any of my friends or family.

Carly Taylor is LEGIT!

Oh man, where do I start? I had been living it up with my bros and was just actin a fool! Long story short I got arrested for public intoxication, which I was like ok, no big deal, just a class C, I’ll go take care of this myself at the court. Wrong! I’m not the kind of guy to know a bunch of lawyers... so I started looking around on Google and Ms. Taylor showed up as specializing in these types of cases. At the first meeting I was so nervous! But she made me feel so comfortable. She didn’t talk to me like the dumb fool I am for getting in trouble! I don’t know much legal stuff and was nervous to meet up with a lawyer, but she made sure I understood everything. I didn’t realize how just a little ticket could impact my future. Ms. Taylor took care of my case quickly and I didn’t have to do much. I couldn’t be happier and would recommend her to to all my friends. THANK YOU MS. TAYLOR!!!!

Thankful for representation out of town!

I live in San Antonio, but I had an “incident” when I was on a beach trip out of town for vacation. I was in need of representation for a minor matter, and I was dreading calling local attorneys because I knew it was going to cost so much to hire someone for an out of town case. I was more than pleas...antly surprised when I got in touch with Ms. Taylor’s firm and she assured me she could handle my case AND make it as painless as possible. As soon as she was hired, she was proactive and began working on my case. The matter was resolved quickly and I am so grateful for the outcome. No matter what sort of legal representation you may need, Texas-wide, big or small, Ms. Taylor will handle it all!

I kept my job AND my clean record!

When I was on the “wrong side” of the criminal justice system for the first time in my life, facing not only tarnishing my reputation and my clean record, but also the prospect of termination from my job, I sought out one of those big, well-known firms with big fancy law offices all over Texas. I...’m in the legal profession, but I hold a position where it would be a major conflict to have pending criminal charges - usually resulting in packing up an office as soon as word of the arrest hit - so I thought I needed a “big law” name, one of those recognizable so-and-so-&-so-and-so type firms to help me. I went that route, and I was very unhappy. I never felt heard or really that anyone actually cared about my circumstances. I was just a number. I fired that firm and needed representation. A friend of mine told me about Ms. Taylor and her experience. I met with her and was immediately put at ease. Her experience speaks for itself, but that first meeting let me know I was in good hands. She scrutinized every detail of my case and was proactive in seeking a resolution. She immediately identified what a building full of lawyers could not, and my case was dismissed. I kept my job and my clean record. Thank you, Ms. Taylor - never underestimate what ONE great lawyer can do for you!

Anonymous

I had a youthful indiscretion many years ago. I thought after having a case dismissed it would no longer be an issue in my life. However, when I applied for my private pilot's license, I discovered that even a dismissal on a very low-level offense can be an ordeal later in life. I did some research o...n my own and discovered that I could get my record expunged. I sought Ms. Taylor's counsel, and she advised me that she could easily handle this matter for me. Once I hired her, my old case became a thing of the past. Actually it became NOTHING. Now, I can proceed with my pilot's license, and any other endeavor, and never have to disclose anything because it is now expunged. Thank you, Ms. Taylor!
