Experienced family law attorney. Focusing on divorce, separation, paternity, alimony, custody, visitation, child support, and guardianship matters.

As an athlete, I am as competitive as it gets. I played basketball from the time I could walk all the way through college. I took every loss personally and spent hours in the gym practicing. Basketball taught me how to capitalize on my losses and to always work harder to achieve my goals. I apply this dedication to my position at Taylor & Taylor Law Firm, P.A.. Before joining the firm, I worked in accounting; I initially went to law school to become a tax attorney. After only two days of working for a family law attorney during law school, however, I knew I had found my calling. I enjoy practicing in the area of family law because I feel that I can make a difference in some of the most intimate aspects of a person’s life. I enjoy working hard for my clients to ensure that their story is heard and the competitiveness that comes along with it.. The majority of my leisure time is spent with my family, mostly at church or competing in games like Rook, Dominoes, Monopoly, Spades…the list goes on. Also, my husband has somehow convinced me to start playing golf with him every weekend, which I have quickly learned is a very frustrating sport!

I zealously advocate for my clients in the areas of personal injury, criminal defense, and family law.

Finding the hidden assetsearly in the process can show the spouse deceit won’t be tolerated..
