After making one appearance Mr. Taylor was able to plead the reckless driving down to faulty equipment and a $395 fine.

Truly appreciative of Mr. Taylor’s effort during my case. I am so glad that I chose him to represent me. He presented my evidence, impeccably. Thank you!
Mr. Taylor is a life saver! I had gotten a reckless driving ticket 91/65 in charlotte county and which means i was initially charged with a misdemeanor. I found him online and he patiently answered all my questions and handled everything for me (i didnt even have to go to court). Since this was my first infraction, he was able to get my charge reduced to enhanced speeding and all i had to do was pay a fine and complete a driving improvement clinic. I am forever grateful to Mr. Taylor.

We retained the firm to handle a speeding ticket for my son. They mishandled/misscomunicated the court's instructions. Joe wrote us a detailed letter instructing us on what to do in accordance with the plea agreement to reduce the ticket. He neglected to note a provision of the court in that letter resulting in my son receiving a reckless driving for non compliance of the court order. My son was found guilty in absentia because this firm did not inform us of that provision and my son did not take the required driver safety course Joe omitted from his letter to us.
WORSE yet, I called 6+ times over 2 weeks asking to speak to Joe and see what happened and what could be done. NO reply or response. 6+ emails met only one brief reply from his paralegal stating she would let Joe know. Bar complaint filed. Find someone else who pays attention to details AND returns calls. One of the most unprofessional experiences I have ever endured and now my son has a misdemeanor on his record....

After receiving a speeding ticket, multiple offers to represent me arrived in the mail. I called Mr. Taylor and he returned my call within a few days. He explained my options, offered to represent me and followed the phone call with a written email explanation and a receipt. The day after my court date, I received a letter explaining my court costs and the court requirements to avoid points on my licence . Mr. Taylor delivered what he promised and I appreciate his services.

He did a great job with my ticket. Most frustrating part: trying to reach the office, I was able to call him directly and get the information I needed.

Amazing attorney. The first ticket I received was a 77/55, got this reduced down to a 0-point violation. Second ticket: 70/55, called with less than a week to spare until my case, still came through and reduced this to a zero-point violation. I know everyone is different, but you can’t lie about these results.

Mr. Taylor is a great attorney. He is very knowledgeable in his field of expertise. My husband and I found that he was very compassionate and attentive to our situation. He helped us with the nurture and care as a gentleman in his field. Our experience with him as our attorney ended up being a favorable one and we highly recommend him.

I received a speeding ticket over the summer and received numerous letters in the mail from lawyers asking to be hired in support of my case. When narrowed down i called several to talk to on the phone and Mr Taylor called me back immediately. After deciding to go with Mr Taylor I realized I had a few other questions about supporting documents I had for my case, and a few questions. After several emails with NO responses, voicemails, and phone calls over a two month period it was apparently impossible to reach Mr Taylor. All I ever heard was the same excuse from the receptionist “I will pass your message along and have him call you back.” We’ll my court date comes up now and still no word from Mr Taylor and I come to find out from again his receptionist after calling 5 days after my court date to find out the final judgement that Mr Taylor was running behind that day and they pushed the date out a month. Now another waiting game a month later my date comes up again I need to call Mr Taylor’s office to find out the final verdict and I’m told a letter is being typed up and when Mr Taylor reviews it she will send it out. Two weeks later In the postal mail I get a letter stating I owe a fine to the state of VA but no explanation whether i have points on my license or any other information. I am Extremely dissatisfied with this service and would not recommend Mr Taylor to anyone or trust him in that sense. If you cannot communicate with a lawyer your paying there is something VERY wrong. I’m sure your also thinking why didn’t I ask for my money back to hire someone else? Well I tried that and I was told “Mr Taylor will call you back about a refund” nope never received that call either !!!!

Mr. Taylor and his office staff was awesome. They handle our traffic issue for my daughter in a professional manner and was able to get the charges reduced. Their rates were affordable. I only had to email all the information and they took care of our entire case. I recommend Mr. Taylor for traffic issues. Great experience.

After waiting to hear from him and his office regarding my reckless driving ticket. I ended up with a 400 dollar fine and a drivers ed class that has to be approved by the courts. I'm giving Mr. Taylor's law office a two-star rating because him and his office staff never picks up the phone and is Lackadaisical when it comes to the communication. I wasn't satisfied with the outcome and I wouldn't recommend his services. My ticket was originally 200 dollars with the possibility of points on my license. I am not from the State of Virginia. In Georgia, it is rare that a person receives a ticket for going 83 mph because the maximum speed limit on the highway is 75 mph.

Absolute horrible customer service. I have tried multiple times to talk with Joseph again after he "represented me" in court and he has never had the courtesy to call me back. I feel pretty confident after over $500 and 14 hours of community service, I could have done a better job representing myself in court.

I just literally got out of court with Joseph. I was charged with reckless driving, and the prosecutor was adamant about giving me jail time. Joesph countered that, and I ended up paying a fine, along with a 60 day VA suspension which is fine considering I live in MD. I couldn’t be more satisfied. Not only was his firm affordable, but they are thorough in representing their clients. I would definitely hire Joseph again (if needed). Hopefully this will be the last time lol.

After receiving a speeding ticket and needing to find an attorney. The first thing I did was look for good reviews. I now see why this office has so many great reviews.

The entire case from initial contact to disposition letter was EXACTLY what I wanted for my money. Joe was very professional. stated risks and cost up front I was informed of every step counsel would take, followed by direct contact from the administrative team. Megan was also extremely professional. I enthusiastically recommend Taylor Law Firm to everyone with criminal traffic cases. One charge was completely dropped and the ticket was reduced to 9 over. all of this was for a very affordable rate. Outstanding Job Joe and Megan.

I received a reckless driving speeding ticket (78/55) in Mecklenburg County, VA (first offense) and had Mr. Taylor represent me. The process was very easy; I only had to provide Mr. Taylor with my driving record and payment, then he went to court on my behalf. He was able to reduce my reckless driving charge (misdemeanor, 6 points) to a defective equipment (infraction, 0 points). These are very good results and I was extremely pleased with his performance. His rates were reasonable as well. I would highly suggest him if you are in need of representation for a traffic offense committed in the Mecklenburg area.

I honestly can not thank Mr. Taylor enough for his representation on my reckless driving ticket in Mecklenburg County, VA. Megan his legal assistant was so pleasant to work with as well, she always answered my emails and calls right away and very pleasant. He was able to get my ticket reduced to defective equipment, a non-moving violation with zero point! I will take an 8 hour driving improvement course and mail that in and it will be completed! Hands down I am so grateful for trusting my gut to hire him. I had my verdict later that afternoon, so I was not stressing.
I received 9 different attorney solicitations in the mail to assist with my ticket. Some of the marketing was impressive and I called a few different ones to interview starting with the fanciest marketing material and was immediately I was going to pay almost the same cost of the ticket if I was charged ($2500) and that was not talking with the actual attorney nor was it the court cost and fines, just his fees. This ticket could have resulted in $2500 fine, 6 points, loss of license for 1 year and 1 year in jail if found guilty. I called and felt extremely comfortable after talking with Mr. Taylor directly and immediately had trust in what he said and his actual success rate, plus knowing he was going to represent me not another junior.

I was charged with Reckless Driving for going 83 mph. I contacted Joseph Taylor and discussed my case with him. He told me he would negotiate the charge down to operating with faulty equipment, a charge which carries no points because it is not a moving violation and I didn't have to make the 3+ hour trip to court. He delivered as promised. My fine and court costs totaled $275, far less than my insurance would have increased annually with a reckless conviction. I, also, found his fee to be reasonable. I would highly recommend his services.

Attorney Taylor was very helpful and effective in getting positive results for traffic violation I received while driving out of state on a road trip through VA headed to a conference in Atlanta. I was driving over the set speed limit and had been distracted at the time it occurred and had not realized how much over the speed limit I was.
He was prompt in getting back to me through correspondence and in his service and attention to my case. I learned of his services through mail received as a result of public info generated by traffic ticket I received for speeding as well as several letters offering services from other law offices. I was also directed to call him personally if I had further questions and he called back when message was left.
I chose him because after notifying him, he directed that I could email him personally or call with any questions and explained my options of paying ticket fine with uncertainty of outcome vs being represented by him with the possibility of having no points against my record, which I thought was great since I had not had that response from others contacted. He seemed more personable.
The cost was comparable to other lawyers. He explained that he had experience with dealing with the court I would have to appear in. He was gladly available to stand in for me at my court date so that I would not have to drive 300+ miles to go in front of the judge (600+ miles, round trip), which helped me avoid a conviction and possibly get a mark on my driving record or an increase in my car insurance which would’ve been devastating to me. I have not had any citations against my record for over 10 years. I have been proud of that and I did not want the penalties.
I paid the legal fee promptly for representation and he took care of everything with assistance from his legal assistant until court date. He notified me in official letters of details until case was completed and sent receipt of payment. I appreciate his services which were professional.
