Immigration 20%

I have been practicing immigration law since 1995. I have done hundreds of asylum and green card, and citizenship applications. I am familiar with the ways and means of getting legal status in the United States. I am comfortable in all levels of representation from interview, to immigration court to appeals. I am also comfortable with various visas from B1, B2, E1, E2 to F1 and J1.

20%
Estate Planning 10%

I have been practicing estate planning since 1995. The basic package is a will, DPAHC and DPAFA. The will allows your property to be transferred after your death in the way you wish. The DPAs allow a designated representative to handle your affairs if you become incompetent. A will does not avoid, time, expenses and taxes involved in probate. By putting your property into a living trust, the time, expense and taxes of probate can be avoided.

Power of Attorney 10%

These give other persons the power to represent you in various matters.

Ed Taylor

I engaged Mr. Taylor's services for a security deposit problem with a former landlord. Ed was very straightforward and took decisive steps to reach an agreement quickly and efficiently. I appreciated his calm and direct demeanor, and the fees he charged were extremely reasonable. I would definite...ly recommend Ed Taylor and will consult with him in the future for legal needs.
