Traffic Violation

Taggart Howard went above & beyond in helping me with my legal situation, and I would highly recommend him for anyone that needs representation. I had another lawyer hired that was taking the “let’s wait & see how court goes” approach. A friend suggested Taggart. I immediately changed lawyers afte...r our first conversation. Taggart was professional from start to finish, keeping me informed of all the options along the way. He was incredibly “proactive” by having me do a few things prior to the court date, that ultimately made a huge difference in the outcome of my case. I am so grateful for his kindness, negotiating ability, & compassion during a time of crisis.
