I used Barry Taylor for my case several years ago and he was the best lawyer I had in a while. He was very open honest and transparent. I would use him again.

hired them to represent me in a custody case, told them my budget, i was assured it was going to be enough to complete my case, then once hired getting a response from emails or phone calls was next to impossible, the GAL assigned to the case kept having to call me because they were not responding to her either. Gave them a retainer of $2500, received one bill showing that I had only used have of it, but they were showing i only had less than half of my retainer credited to me and asking me for more money, left multiple messages and emails to find out where the rest of my retainer was, never answered, finally, because I used all the money i had to hire them, i was forced to negotiate a settlement on my own, when i sent them the notice that they didn't represent me anymore (GAL wouldn't talk to me until i did because they were supposed to be "representing me") it took them 2 weeks to even acknowledge they received it, and then it was lies and excuses, i asked for the rest of my retainer back since I only got 1 invoice showing i had used only half of what I gave them, they, all of a sudden had all these invoices I was never sent that made no sense and listed the same thing multiple times, and said i was actually out of money, when i first met with them, i was told, that because i was referred to them, i would receive an hourly rate of $250 instead of $300, but none of the invoices reflected that, and when i questioned them, they acted like they had no idea what i was talking about. the settlement i got, i could have completely gotten with out them, as it was basically the same as the GAL's recommendation, get a real lawyer and don't go to this chop shop, they clearly only care about getting retainers and nothing else

Barry R. Taylor was accused of lapses in his bank accounts and prolonged delays in two personal injury disbursements. The bar said his explanations did not hold water. Taylor “knowingly made false statements of material fact to the VSB regarding his trust account” and in regards to two disciplinary matters, according to a March 19 discipline subcommittee determination.

The bar also accused Taylor of “dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation which reflects adversely on his fitness to practice law.”

The VSB Disciplinary Board approved an agreed disposition for the three-year suspension beginning Aug. 22.

Really champions their clients and doesn't leave them hanging. Will recommend 100% and definitely use again as long as they're in practice! Thank you so much for your help!

In my opinion, condescending and unprofessional. I cannot believe people would allow a suspended attorney to handle their money. Multiple violations of breech of trust. All a matter of public record.
