  • Taylon, was excellent in all aspects of our case.

    We hired her for an expungement of charges for my wife that happened many years ago. She had great communication, keeping us posted along the way and her fee was less than I had expected. I highly recommend her for any needs.

  • Taylon went above and beyond handling my cases.

    We had many meetings at her office where she explained to me every step that she was doing to get me the best possible outcome. I feel she fought to the very end and was unlike any lawyer I have ever used in the past. I would highly recommend her to anybody needing help.
