"“I will always be grateful to Taggart Howard for the way he stood by me during one of the most stressful times of my life. Facing the legal system was overwhelming and frightening, but Taggart gave me strength and peace of mind. He treated me not just as a client, but as a person — showing compassion, patience, and genuine care. Every step of the way, he explained what was happening, reassured me when I felt lost, and gave me confidence that I wasn’t alone in this fight. His calm presence and clear guidance made an incredibly difficult situation bearable. What truly sets Taggart apart is his dedication. Even after the courtroom process ended, he continues to monitor the next steps to protect my future. That kind of commitment is rare, and it shows how deeply he cares about the people he represents. If you ever find yourself in need of a lawyer who will fight for you and stand with you through the hardest moments, I cannot recommend Taggart highly enough. He is not only an exceptional attorney, but also a remarkable human being.”"

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.
