Mr. Taylor is one of 11 founders of the 2300-member National College for DUI Defense and served on the Board of Regents and as its Dean. He was an Orange County Deputy Public Defender for 10 years, during which he was assigned to be Supervising Attorney for misdemeanor cases (including DUI), and has handled well over 5000 criminal cases from DUI to murder.

The National College has recognized Mr. Taylor for his accomplishments by awarding him the “Lifetime Achievement Award” at Harvard Law School, and in 2018 he was selected by Southern California peer attorney nominations as a “Super Lawyer” — as he has been for 14 of the past 16 years.
