Review of Joseph taggart

Consulted, hired taggart for my custody case. He is a terrible lawyer. Should not be practicing. Uses excuses not to communicate with me. Slow in filing motions. Did absolutely nothing to help me. Would not return my calls or emails. Do not waste your time with this guy. Hire a more expensive lawyer... that will actually work for you. He just doesn't care for his client or their situation. Makes excuses not to get back with me. Terrible attorney. Don't waste your time with him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
