Daniel Dean Taylor

My son was arrested on a serious charge, after going online I found Sawtooth and they claimed and then promised the very best representation, a large legal team, investigators, what ever it would take to get him the very best . But, the best cost money, they pressured us in to paying 65,000 up front... and said Dan Taylor would be the lead att. for my son. We met with a att. in Eagle Id. at a temporary office, Mark said he was a hot shot att. and they were building an office soon in Eagle. We found out later Mark wasn't an att. but a legal aid. We kept trying to communicate with Dan Taylor but, just kept getting pushed off to this Mark (liar) and never could get any answers to our question except that they were working hard. When my son had court dates, he was represented on zoom by some guy named Rusty that had no clue what was going on, and never presented any objections or, anything whatsoever. Dan wouldn't return calls, emails, or texts. He never even talked to the prosecuting att, never filed any paperwork, didn't file on a civil rights violation done to my son. So time ran out on the statute for that case that was a slam dunk that could have resulted in a huge financial gain for my son, according to att. who we talked to later, after finally firing Dan Taylor. Because of his non action not filing, or even talking to the DA, Taylor missed zoom meetings with my son, missed court dates and reminded to appear in court by my ex-wife because he wouldn't talk to me even though I paid all the money up front. The second lawyer we hired had his hands tied, and couldn't help an innocent man from being forced into a plea that put him in prison for 2 years. Taylor's office finally sent their supposed billing hours, what a fantasy, the absurdity of the charges, the hours supposedly spent are more than ridiculous.!!They agreed they owed a refund, a paltry 4,000 dollars, but of course we never saw it. And he has his phone disconnected and has disappeared. He basically stole the money and did absolutely nothing for my son. Don't hire this crook!!!
