Alicia Dora Taylor

I hired Alicia two and a half years ago to resolve a complicated separation agreement. There aren't enough words to express the OUTSTANDING job she has thoughtfully performed! She is a highly experienced, creative professional who is as intelligent as she is compassionate. This winning combinatio...n will richly reward anyone who has the opportunity to work with her. If you are looking for a fair, capable and caring lawyer to assist you, look no further. After working closely with Alicia for over two years, I can personally attest to her stellar work ethic and abilities. She consistently makes herself available to answer any and all questions that her clients might have. Her commitment to human decency and the quality of her character are just an added bonus when you choose this highly dedicated professional.

My former wife and I were looking for options to go through the painful process of negotiating a separation, when we hired Alicia Taylor. Alicia was very helpful in explaining current laws and norms for California. She guided us through a difficult process to a creative and well-structured separati...on agreement that served our needs very well. Throughout the process, she was an intent and compassionate listener, and she came up with fair solutions for us both. I would strongly recommend Alicia for anyone seeking legal assistance for a separation or divorce. Aside - Dear Avvo Editor. This is my 3rd attempt at leaving a review for Alicia. The Avvo editorial review process has been frustrating, having destroyed both of the last drafts without offering any comment as to what failed the guidelines. I have read the guidelines carefully, multiple times, and I do not see any conflict. If you choose to refuse this review again, please provide specific comments or delete my Avvo account profile. Thank you.

My ex-husband is a business litigation attorney. So, when he suggested that we try to resolve our divorce informally, I was concerned that he would use his knowledge and skill to take advantage of me, but a friend recommended Alicia as someone who would not let this happen. My ex-husband did try to n...egotiate like a lawyer, but Alicia was very effective to balance the power. From the very beginning, she let us both know that she would make sure that we each had equal bargaining power. She took the time to understand my needs. Although I could not express them in legalese like my ex-husband (and did not even know what all of my rights were), Alicia was able to explain everything to me and negotiate for my best interests. There were some valuation questions we had and Alicia recommended a real estate appraiser and a business valuation guy who gave us information we needed to fairly divide our property. Alicia was a miracle worker.

The thought of losing time with your children is so overwhelming and Ms. Taylor kept us focused on the best interests of our children . She was impartial, creative and knowledgable and presented several clever options that helped us agree on a plan that worked for us and our children. You could t...ell that we mattered to her.
