Very Knowledgeable and reponsive

Emily consulted with us and advised us regarding the ALTCS. She provided us with our options and after more research we decided we needed her expertise. She was very responsive to our needs and kept us focused on the issues. We are out of state but that did not impact our ability to contact her. I w...ould definitely recommend her .

Knew I wanted her for my lawyer right away

Emily contacted me by e-mail the same day I found her on avvo.com. She called the next day exactly when we agreed she would call. And I knew she knew her stuff because I had researched my legal needs and talked to other lawyers. I felt comfortable with her knowledge, commitment to help me, and her t...ransparency about fees. I'm glad I found her!!

"Emily Taylor is one of the most diligent, competent people I've ever met. In an area of law that requires attention to detail, she exudes all the necessary qualities to accomplish the matter at hand-- all the while keeping the client informed and comfortable through what could be a very overwhelming process. Attorneys can refer their elder law matters to Emily and feel confident that their clients will be taken care of from beginning to end, and clients can feel that their attorney, Emily, is handling their matter dutifully and with integrity."

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.
