No one else thought I had a case

I wish I could have talked to Todd first. I had spoken with a few other lawyers before him and each one said I didn't have a case. Todd let me know that it was an uphill battle but stood by me the entire time and in the end I got more money than I thought I would and that was after all the legal fee...s.

Car Accident

I found dealing with the aftermath of my car being hit extremely overwhelming – insurance company not wanting to pay, seeing the doctor, trying to heal, etc. Todd was amazing! He took care of my case so I only had to worry about healing. He had my best interest in mind and fought for me. I highly... recommend Todd Taylor!

Great service for a great price!

Todd Taylor and his staff handled a very personal suit in a timely manner. I was expecting this lawsuit to take years to come to a settlement and he cut that time in more than half, while also keeping me informed and providing support where I needed it. Highly recommend and will use again if ever nee...ded. Thank you!

Top Personal Injury Law firm in Oregon

Todd Taylor is one of the 2 best attorney's I've ever come across. The first... his law partner Ryan Johnson at the Johnson Taylor Law firm in Salem, Oregon. Todd is super smart, knows all the angles and really cares too. That is rare in an attorney. He is such a great attorney and is easy to talk ...to. He is very knowledgeable. He explains things well and gives you informative information about your personal injury case. If you are personally injured in an accident and you need help he is the man to call. I have used him, referred him and very glad I did. He and his law office is simply the very best!

Thank you!

After making numerous phone calls to find an attorney that could point me in the right direction, I reached Todd Taylor. He not only listened to my long story, but took the time to refer me to an amazing attorney who had vast experience and knowledge in the area of law that I was franticly seeking.... Very much appreciated Mr. Taylor!

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.
