FAMILY LAW

Ms. Taylor draws on many of the skills she developed as an Assistant District Attorney in her family law practice. There is often significant overlap between criminal and family law matters, particularly in the investigation, evidence gathering, witness evaluation, and case preparation required in each.

If you don’t hire an attorney like Ms. Taylor, who understands how a case should be properly prepared and investigated, you risk missing out on presenting valuable and persuasive information to the Judge or Jury who will decide your case.

D. Morales

"I’ve been a client of the Law Office of Dawn Taylor for the past three years during a very difficult divorce, and I highly recommend her. Dawn was honest, supportive, and always guided me toward the best decisions for me, my children, and the overall situation. She was strong and effective both in court and during mediation, helping me achieve a fair outcome. Her legal assistant, Lynne, was also outstanding—always responsive, organized, and genuinely supportive throughout the entire process."

M. Cooper
