Client Reviews:

Taylor Polk – 5.0 stars – Posted by Cliff on Mar 15, 2014

Taylor Polk is a young attorney who is very thoughtful and personable – Not qualities that most lay people, like me, associate with lawyers.  In my case he did the research and got the job done in an efficient manner and completed the process in a few months that had been sitting on others desks for many years.  He kept me informed the entire way, answered or returned all calls and emails and was very attentive to any of my concerns.
