Taylor Fields grew up in Georgia, but his family moved to Detroit (his father was a pilot for Northwest and then Delta) briefly when he was young before they ended up in Memphis.. He supplemented his bachelor’s degree in history at the University of Tennessee with a minor in philosophy. A philosopher he’s taken note of is Arthur Schopenhauer; Taylor is drawn to his concepts of will and consciousness.. Among his favorite authors are science writer Carl Sagan, horror-fiction writer H. P. Lovecraft, science-fiction writers Thomas Ligotti and Gene Wolfe, and detective-story writer Raymond Chandler. Taylor and fellow attorney Jim Webb have been known to swap books and recommend authors to each other.. He’s also a big fan of Stanley Kubrick’s films, including 2001: A Space Odyssey and Full Metal Jacket. He enjoys bourbon and cigars (“Every once in a while”) while listening to ’70s bands, including Genesis and King Crimson.. He used to be a big home brewer of beer (“A whole lotta hops can cover many mistakes”) though his work at the firm has cut down on his time for that. He nonetheless brews up a batch now and again and has also made mead—fermented honey. He considers home brewing a generally solitary effort, but he looks upon enjoying it as a sport.. During and after law school, he did pro-bono legal work at a Memphis community legal center. He discovered that many of the clients there needed help with divorces, obviously a potentially expensive and often acrimonious undertaking. His work there led him to his current position with the firm.. Education and Experience. University of Memphis School of Law.

I understand that your case involves the most important thing in your life--your family.  I also understand that each case and each client are different.. My philosophy is that there is no "one size fits all" divorce.  I work actively with my clients on all aspects of their cases.  I know that working closely and communicating effectively with my clients ensures that I understand each client's unique goals.  This allows for the best possible outcome for every individual client.. My approach is to avoid the expense and stress associated with litigation whenever possible, utilizing collaborative law and mediation when appropriate.  This approach preserves family relationships, minimizes trauma to children, and saves tremendous amounts of money and time.. Unfortunately, sometimes settlement is not an appropriate option.  In litigated matters, I rely on thorough trial preparation and aggressive advocacy to protect what matters most to each client, keeping in mind the client's goals and budget.. As a mediator, I assist both parties and their counsel (if represented) in settling their disputes themselves.  I help both sides work together to attack the problem instead of each other.  The successful result is a settlement that best meets the needs of each individual family.  Avoiding litigation saves money and time, but more importantly, preserves important family relationships for the future.

I have always wanted to be an attorney. My Father, Jerome M. Hoffman, (may he rest in peace) was a lawyer who was highly respected throughout this community. He was my mentor and instilled in me a strong work ethic which always included service to the community.. I was raised to believe that the profession of law is a noble one of the highest order. He made sure I understood the concepts of respect, dignity and integrity. I strive to serve my clients with those same tenets.. My goal, as an attorney is to create outcomes which improve the lives of our clients in concrete ways. We are partners with our clients.

I am moving my practice more into the Elder Law as I am getting more and more questions in this area.  I didn't like the answers I was giving to people who had questions in this area so I started to educate myself more and more into this area. I joined a national group of attorneys specializing in this area and through them I have found I can give answers that really help my clients.. I am a proud father of three wonderful kids (now adults) the youngest still in college but currently studying abroad in Australia.. In addition to practicing law, I enjoy running, biking and an occassional triathalon.  I have run several marathons (New York, Marine Corp, Twin Cities, Rock'n'Roll San Diego, Memphis), biked 100 miles (threre different times) and participated in many triathalons.. Currently I lead a team training cyclist to ride 100 miles, the Bluff City Blues 100 Training Team.

I always tell my friends and family to please refer their friends to me but that I hope they never personally have a need for my services. The reason is because I'm an accident, injury and divorce lawyer.. I help people who are going through some of the worst events of their life. My clients come to me when things are bad and they need help. Sometimes it can be tough seeing the pain an accident victim is going through or the heartache of a mother or father whose spouse has just left them. But it's rewarding to know that I can have a positive affect on someones life.. I'm extremely lucky and I realize that. I love what I do and I love making things better for others, and it doesn't hurt that doing this usually means that all of us become better off financially.. If you've been in a truly serious car wreck or have been badly injured and just want to call someone who is going to be straight with you, give you honest opinions and treat you with integrity please give me a call. I'd be happy to spend some time to help you better understand whatever predicament you may be in..
