Traffic and DUI case

I want to thank Taggart Howard of Causey & Howard for his help and representation of our daughter. As a result of a traffic stop and confusion over an antibiotic she was taking she was charged with DUI and other related charges. While we knew that the blood test would come back negative it was an ext...remely uncertain and emotional time. Taggart worked on her case and helped us to provide an honest and detailed response to the charges. He did an excellent job of navigating the legal system and working with the authorities to generate a very fair and favorable outcome. From my first call to him late on a Saturday night to the final agreement we were kept informed and felt confident in his ability to help resolve this case. I would recommend Taggart Howard to anyone seeking legal help.
