My husband and I have hired Ms. Gretchen Taylor multiple times over the last few years for one of my young adult children for criminal cases. She has always been available for my son. She responds quickly to emails, phone calls and keeps everyone informed. She is extremely thorough and knowledgeable on all court proceedings and we always know what to expect. She listens, she cares, she is positive and most importantly to me does not judge him. We are given straight answers and not just what we want to hear but all the possible scenarios of what could happen and we as a family were able to decide on what course of action we wanted to take. We as a family have been very satisfied with the outcome of his cases. I highly recommend Ms. Gretchen Taylor. Lee R. Northern Virginia

Gretchen Taylor was nothing but helpful from the start. She looked into every small detail of my case and made sure nothing went unnoticed. As nervous and upset as I was to be in that situation, she put me at ease and I knew I was in great hands. I can’t thank her enough for helping me through this grueling process.

Gretchen is smart and savvy. She is the ultimate legal professional and met all my expectations. The outcome was excellent and I recommend her highly. Also, Debra is the perfect support person for the team - friendly and extremely capable. Thanks again! Barbara D.

Ms. Taylor provided expert representation when a young family member found himself in trouble. She helped us understand how the process worked and what the realistic expectations would be in every step of the way, and was always available to answer our calls and emails in the time leading up to the day in court. On the court date, Ms. Taylor helped navigate discussions with the prosecutor which was vital for us to present evidence from our side with regard to our family member’s steps to make positive changes in his life. We were very pleased with the final outcome, which we feel was very fair. As the very worried mother in our situation, I can wholeheartedly recommend Gretchen Taylor for any family that unexpectedly finds one of their children in a troubled situation.

Gretchen- We can not tell you how appreciative we are of your efforts in successfully defending us.  Your attention to detail, copious note taking, and excellent cross examination skills brought the truth of the matter to light.  It was quite clear that the plaintiff had many holes in their story and you made sure they were all duly noted.  Your professional approach and court room demeanor were flawless in defending our case.  The stress that we felt in the months leading up to this case were completely relieved when we walked out of the courthouse last Tuesday.  If any of our friends or colleagues finds themselves in need of an attorney in your specialty, we will highly recommend you and Taylor Law Company!

I hired Gretchen on appeal after being convicted on a DUI charge in District Court.  Why:  Gretchen Believed: After explaining the case details. She was excited about all the opportunities my case provided to obtain a dismissal or not guilty verdict. We encountered several obstacles with logistics and evidence, but she never seem discouraged; or waned in our ability to win.  Gretchen's Resourceful: As an asthmatic, I needed a medical expert to provide credible testimony of the challenges asthmatics can sometimes face providing breath samples. She was able to identify and retain an expert in less than 10 days; whereas my withdrawing attorney initially opted not to and later could not find one with 90 days time.  Gretchen Communicated: Clearly, concretely, and regularly about what needed to be done, by who and when. Between Gretchen, the medical expert and I, it felt like I was a member of my own "high-power legal team." We all had our part to play, not only in trial, but research and preparation. The more and better tools we placed in her arsenal, the more dynamic her defense.  Gretchen is good with detail: She understands and/can quickly learn great detail. She demonstrated command of breath testing machinery, variances between devices and limitations. Gretchen was able to draw out uncertainty and contradiction in the officer's testimony; while also spotlighting the officer attestations to behaviors the officer testified I demonstrated properly.  Gretchen's Cool Under Pressure: We drew a prosecution friendly judge who was very "generous" to the prosecution on objections, frequently rushed ; who, at the end, effectively pleaded for the prosecution to give him case law that would allow him to convict beyond the statute both the prosecution and defense agreed was applicable. Gretchen was able to use the judge's zeal for throwing out testimony or sustaining objections against defense witnesses against the prosecution’s witnesses; in one case totally eliminating one witness’s ability to testify all together (the officer was dismissed prior to answering a single question about the case).  Gretchen's Adaptive: Gretchen was able to take the feedback I provided during the trial of the officer's testimony and integrate it into her cross to further tease out questionable testimony.  Bottom Line: Gretchen Argued The Case That I Was Totally Satisfied, Regardless of the Verdict.  nevertheless . . . the verdict was: NOT GUILTY

 Well I was recently arrested for a pretty hefty misdemeanor and was very uncertain and pessimistic about what the outcome of the case would be (also was my first time dealing with the legal system), but Counselor Taylor kept myself and my family well informed and reassured through the whole ordeal and I was more than happy with the outcome. She is very understanding and really fights for your best interest as well as the best possible outcome. Represents her clients with honesty, perseverance, and great optimism when you truly need it most. You are in good hands by hiring Gretchen Taylor as your attorney. My family and I truly thank Counselor Taylor for all her work and expertise in all this. Awesome, Highly recommended!!
