James was professional and available to chat whenever I had questions. He helped tremendously throughout the probate process and went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. He was referred by another lawyer and we are happy with James's service!

I hired James to defend me from a lawsuit in 2025 after being unhappy with my previous lawyer. After 5 years of litigation facing an enormous judgement with no end in sight. 2 weeks after hiring James my lawsuit was settled and over and done with. I cannot express how happy I am with James Taylor. He treated my case as if it was his own. He is knowledgeable, professional and most of all he truly cares about his clients. Not only is James a great attorney he is an even better person and I am so blessed to have found him. I would recommend him 10/10 times I cannot be happier with the job he did on my case.
