He saved my whole life when I expected the worst he helped me. Daniel and his assistant Robin are amazing.

I’m confident in saying, that Daniel did everything possible to get me the best results in my case. There was not a single time I felt like my Attourney didn’t have my back. I really appreciate his effort, and care for me. I don’t know how I would’ve gotten through it, without him. I felt cared about.

Daniel Taylor and might I add his paralegal Robin Lewis represented me in a high profile murder case. I am so thankful Daniel and Robin took my case. I knew I wasn’t guilty of this horrible crime and my family and I had been suffering for over a decade. At trial I was found not guilty of the one and only offense on the indictment of premeditated first degree murder. I was not released after this verdict and held in jail for 18 days and Dyer County Sheriff came and re arrested me with a new indictment of manslaughter and aggravated assault even though double jeopardy attached and statute of limitations had expired. Daniel and Robin knew this was wrong and fought hard filing appeals for my release and freedom. It took another 9 months of hard battle before the judge agreed with the law of our land to give me my freedom back and dismiss the case. I owe my life to God, my freedom to Daniel and Robin. Daniel and Robin would work day, night and even weekends on my case. Robin has become a cl

He is very trustworthy and determined to seek the best outcome for a client. He walked me through the whole of the process and had my back every step through to the end. Allowing all the evidence to be thoroughly Reviewed and all of the facts of the case laid before the court. I am extremely satisfied with the council and defense of Mr Taylor and if I could recommend any attorney he would be the first recommendation I would seek.

Mr. Taylor is extremely professional, while still showing compassion and patience for his clients. I felt completely confident in his knowledge of the law and his skills as an attorney. I live in Central Arkansas and had to choose a local attorney based son internet research. I chose Mr. Taylor to represent me because of his years of experience and his impressive track record. All of the glowing reviews just reassured me that he was the right choice.

From the beginning there was no question about who to select for the situation. Daniel's reputation proceeds him and does not disappoint. From beginning to end Mr. Taylor was open to conversations, fielded questions and maintained a calm and professional demeanor to not only a win, but a full acquittal. I would highly recommend Mr. Taylor with hesitation.

Mr Taylor told what the facts where, did not sugar coat (which most ppl wouldn't understand how to feel) but was compassionate with my case. He was very flexible with payment to him, as most are not. If need be in future endeavors I would hire him again but I hope not to have his services again lol.

Working with Mr. Taylor has been the best experience I have had. After fighting to get a public defender a speaking with many other lawyers. He took my case in a really short time crunch and won my case. He got my charges dismissed. I strongly recommen him to anyone looking for an attorney he is the best in Tennessee.
