Taylor has more than a decade of experience working as a lawyer and advocate in Arizona. He has helped shape the law in the courtroom, at the legislature, and via the ballot box. An excellent writer, oral advocate, and strategic thinker, Taylor successfully managed one of the busiest civil appellate practices in the state, advised numerous ballot measure committees, and run public affairs and grassroots campaigns. Taylor is also an engaging speaker, teacher, and writer who designs and delivers educational and training programs for lawyers, business leaders, and university students at both graduate and undergraduate levels.
If you'd like to see Taylor in action, here is a link to a video of his oral argument before the Arizona Supreme Court in 2010. This argument was conducted in the Great Hall of the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law--Taylor's alma mater. His portion of the argument starts at the 21:04 minute mark and runs for approximately the next twenty minutes.

APPELLATE ATTORNEY
Though I haven't had the pleasure to meet Atty. Young, yet, only by AVVO email system. It's his photo eyes/facial expression that caught my attention that shows he's an articulate-motivated person (a person's eyes is the window into their soul/mind). I'll be lucky for him to allow me to hire for his...

Won an unwinnable case for me with his expertise
Taylor advised me at our first meeting to take the money I was going to pay him and use it to settle with the opposing side citing the superior courts findings were too damning to win in the appellate court. Once he realized this was not going to happen he came up with a plan explaining the possible...

Non-Responsive, Arrogant and Unprofessional
I contacted Mr. Taylor Young to provide both consulting & representation for an Appeals case. After leaving him a voicemail, he surprisingly called me back 30-mins later. We spent about 20-mins on the phone discussing my case, in which I followed up sending him a copy of my recent Order. He told me t...

Getting the job done, and done well
I was and am currently a client of Taylor Young. He has represented me on multiple appeals cases, which is one of his specialties. His understanding of the law and quality of work is peerless. Performs thorough research. Listens to the client and integrates suggestions intelligently and appropria...
Firm policy is not to comment on client reviews. Readers should note, however, that despite the reference to "specialty" in the preceding client review, the State Bar of Arizona has not yet established a certified specialty in appellate law. Although Taylor Young has extensive experience in appellate law and focuses his practice in this area, he is not--nor does he hold himself out to be--an appellate "specialist."

Taylor was a godsend
Mr. Young was very knowledgeable, helpful and responsive even at odd hours in the days leading up to and following hearing. He is very good at explaining procedure which allowed me to understand processes much better than I was able to on my own. I would highly recommend Taylor to anyone seeking rep...
