Martin Taylor, PLLC Law Firm

5.0(397)✓ Google-verified

Martin Taylor picks up his own phone and works cases through to resolution in days or weeks, not months. Reviewers consistently describe him as warm, calm, and willing to work on payment terms. He handles speeding tickets and criminal charges efficiently; one reviewer noted he helped resolve an FTA without requiring self-surrender, and another credits him with getting a citation reduced from 70 in a 35 to 9 over. His professionalism and accessibility stand out across 397 five-star reviews. Staff appear to be Taylor himself. He appears in court personally, returns calls quickly, and sometimes goes beyond standard service (one client mentioned receiving a ride to the bank). Reviewers praise his knowledge of the Gaston County court system and his ability to manage expectations from the first conversation.
