When it comes to family law issues, children, parents, spouses, former spouses, grandparents and other parties enjoy many protections under state and federal law. But will your lawyer have the legal skills and knowledge to effectively fight for your rights? And does your attorney have the passion and persistence to fight for your family law goals? At the Phoenix, Arizona, family law firm of Burns, Nickerson & Taylor, we are here for one reason — to help Arizona families. For over 25 years, lead family law attorney Neal C. Taylor has fought for his clients in state and federal courts throughout Arizona, and has helped hundreds of families. Passionate Advocacy. Compassionate Understanding. A former criminal defense lawyer and prosecutor, Mr. Taylor's goal is to give his family law clients the same "…intense advocacy that I would give a death penalty case, while tempering that fire with the compassion and understanding necessary for family law.” Our commitment to you begins at the onset of your case. Each member of our three-member lawyer team has practiced for at least 20 years, and, as an established firm, our business model is to put clients' family law needs first. We pay close attention to your concerns and to legal opportunities as we work together to find an appropriate resolution for each case.
