The Law Offices Of Lawrence Taylor - Lawrence Taylor
Ripoff charges a lot then hires cheap, incompetent lawyers to perform work

Lawrence Taylor Sucks!!!

(The Law Offices of Lawrence Taylor, Inc. And duicentral suck too)

If you are considering hiring The Law Offices of Lawrence Taylor, Inc. For your legal defense please read this article before you do so. From my personal experience with The Law Offices of Lawrence Taylor, Inc. I would strongly recommend you to go elsewhere for your legal defense needs. The Law Offices of Lawrence Taylor, Inc. Is not worth nearly as much as they charge for their services. The only thing they do well is marketing and sales, the actual legal service they provided me was well below average but they charged me far above average for it.

The Law Offices of Lawrence Taylor, Inc. Markets their services through their web site: www.duicentral.com and the book Drunk Driving Defense (ISBN 0735511462) published by Aspen Law & Business Publishers and written by Lawrence Taylor. I have not read the book, it may or may not be good.

However, when I hired them I did not get to speak directly to or enjoy the services of Mr. Lawrence Taylor himself and I don't think you will either. The attorney I was assigned was an average attorney, these types of attorneys are available for about 1/5 of the price I paid to The Law Offices of Lawrence Taylor. So save your money and go directly to those attorneys who charge about $1,500 for the first DUI. I was hoping to get the best defense possible and was willing to pay for it but got ripped off instead.

At www.duicentral.com you will find all sorts of credentials of Mr. Lawrence Taylor, however keep in mind that it's not Mr. Taylor who will defend you but some other attorney. Mr. Taylor will be just a middleman between you and that attorney. You can hire a lawyer like that directly by paying them $1,500 or so, if it's your first DUI.

What they did for me as far as legal defense was little more than filing paperwork and going from me to the prosecutor during the plea bargain process. I made all the decisions and their legal advice was minimal to non-existent.

Most of the time, advice I received from them was directed towards pushing me to except an offer from the prosecution in order to avoid a trial. Here I should mention that somehow they convinced me to pay them a flat fee of $8,000 so it was in their best interest to finish the case as soon as possible (and to avoid a trial).in their agreement they call it a "true retainer". Even if after reading this you will still decide to hire them don't fall for the "true retainer" and don't pay them a flat fee upfront.

During the last appearance in court on my behalf (which, I was told, was done as a "favor" to me rather than as a normal service, and in order for them to do me this favor I had to raise some noise) their attorney did not properly file a piece of paper and as a result I was later charged $40 to correctly file it. My request to them to reimburse me $40 that I had to pay as a result of their mistake remains unanswered.

During my community service and DUI classes I met many other people who got DUI. Many had similar circumstances to mine or worse. None of them paid nearly as much as I paid to The Law Offices of Lawrence Taylor. And none of them got a worse sentence than mine, measured by the period of license suspension plus duration of alcohol program plus days of community service.

I would like to hear from anyone who has used The Law Offices of Lawrence Taylor for their legal needs. You may also contact me with any questions or comments.

Thank you,
Nick L.
