There was a lot of confusion around an otherwise minor legal matter that I needed a lawyer's opinion on and Taggart was extremely helpful in helping me resolve it. He is professional, timely, courteous, came to our meetings having gone above and beyond, and was very patient helping answer all my questions (dumb ones and all). I really enjoyed working with him and would certainly do so again.

I highly recommend Taggart. He clearly explains the what, how and why and keeps the client informed. His approach is no nonsense, explains each step clearly, and offers sensible actions for the client as the case progresses. Trust him; he will guide you through it all.

Taggart was really helpful in getting a traffic violation resolved in Eagle County. For a very reasonable fee, he made the process extremely smooth, explaining each step along the way. He was able to get my violation and points reduced and help me avoid an in-person appearance at the Eagle County court, which was a huge relief being from Denver.

Knowing Taggart Howard is an Attorney for the 5th Judicial District, I knew he was the right Attorney to represent me. It was the 1st time I had ever been arrested. I was scared and stressed out thinking I could lose my job, home and possibly my wife. Taggart used his knowledge of the law and expertise to explain in detail the possible outcomes of my case. He was prompt in his emails to me, to keep me informed of what was going on. He gave me hope. The outcome was better than I expected. Taggart Howard represents the true meaning of compassion, respect, open/ honest communication and in the end, all the happiness in the world. I would highly recommend his services to anyone who needs a great down to earth Attorney.

Working with Taggart made a challenging situation feel manageable. He was cautious to make promises but over delivered when the case was settled. I had no surprises and knew exactly what to expect each step of the way. He is well worth the cost and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking counsel.

If I could give 10 stars to Taggart Howard, I would. I did not even know that the bare minimums I received in every aspect of my sentencing (fines, points, community service, probation, and zero jail time) were even possible, given the severity of my DUI. I could not recommend Taggart more highly. He was an absolute godsend, and I will be forever grateful. Thank you, Taggart!
