"I worked with Taylor in a freelance capacity assisting him on a contract matter and witnessed the quality of his work and communication skills first hand. Taylor went above and beyond to make the engagement effective and be a truly enjoyable attorney to work with overall. He provided a wealth of knowledge and expert guidance on the topic in advance and his ability to communicate complex contract law issues in a manner that is digestible, informative and clear was impressive. He was highly professional and made the entire engagement feel effortless from start to finish. He was generous with his time and support and if my experience is anything similar to what he offers his clients in terms of skill, customer service, and reliability, they are all in outstanding hands. Highest regards!"
"Taylor is a sharp and knowledgable attorney. He has years of real world experience, which he uses to help his clients navigate through legal and business challenges. Taylor is particularly well versed in intellectual property matters, and I consult with him on tough cases."
"I've only had a few reasons to be involved in entertainment law/contracts, but for each one of those times, I've trusted Taylor's advice because I know one main thing about him: He does his due diligence to make sure he does the best for his clients/friends. I endorse this lawyer."
"Taylor is an extremely smart, experienced, and aggressive attorney who strategizes with his clients to collaborate on projects at his clients' paces. He is not pushy and builds his relationships with his clients for the long-term. I highly recommend his services for entertainment and copyright law."
