Verified ClientConsulted Attorney 2025There was a lot of confusion around an otherwise minor legal matter that I needed a lawyer's opinion on and Taggart was extremely helpful in helping me resolve it. He is professional, timely, courteous, came to our meetings having gone above and beyond, and was very patient helping answer all my questions (dumb ones and all). I really enjoyed working with him and would certainly do so again.

His approach is no nonsense, explains each step clearly, and offers sensible actions for the client as the case progresses. Trust him; he will guide you through it all.
