Reviews

Hired Attorney 2011-2019In 2011 when I was getting a divorce, a neighbor in my book group recommended K.Leigh Taylor as a "bulldog in a dress." She's definitely all that and more! My ex-husband is an attorney and can be tricky. Leigh is never fazed or blind-sided by his--or his attorney's--antics. She keeps the facts straight and never wavers from the truth. She's extremely clever. She also doesn't waste her time--or legal fees--on nonsense. I really value that. She's cost-sensitive and a hard-worker. Several times she worked late into the evening and often was available on weekends. She also never once missed a deadline. Recently my teenagers confronted major issues, and Leigh was extremely kind and empathetic. She's a mother herself so she naturally "gets it" and wants to help and rally on their behalf. We know we're very lucky and grateful to have Leigh in our corner.
