Blake Taelman Lawyer Reviews & Ratings - Daytona Beach

National Merit Scholar, Northwestern Law graduate, former felony prosecutor.. I grew up in South Bend, Indiana and travelled to sunny Gainesville, Florida for undergrad, where I majored in Finance and minored in Entrepreneurship.  After college, I went back home to work in the family business as a custom home builder and residential developer for four years.  In 2010, I decided to heed my calling to the law and attended the Northwestern Univeristy School of Law, where I concentrated in Litigation and Alternative Dispute Resolution and represented the law school in the Midwestern regional negotiations competition, placing third in the entire Midwest.  I was a summer associate at two prestigious law firms, and I externed with two different judges while in law school.. After law school I accepted a position as a litigation associate at Foley & Lardner in Tampa, Florida.  After two years and while expecting our second child, my wife and I decided to move closer to family and I accepted a position at the State Attorney's Office as a prosecutor.  As a prosecutor I had a 90% success rate at trial, and ended my career on the State side of criminal law as a felony prosecutor.  It was at that time that I joined Delgado & Romanik, where I now spend my time defending the rights of my clients.
