Guided by the nationally-renown "Dean of DUI Attorneys", The Law Offices of Taylor & Taylor is a 4-attorney firm specializing in DUI defense exclusively since 1979, and maintains offices in Long Beach, Beverly Hills, Pasadena, Irvine, Riverside and Carlsbad. A former Marine and graduate of the University of California at Berkeley (1966) and the UCLA School of Law (1969), Mr. Taylor served as deputy public defender and deputy district attorney in Los Angeles before entering private practice. He was the trial judge's legal advisor in People vs Charles Manson, was Supreme Court counsel in the "Onion Field" murder case, and was retained by the Attorney General of Montana as an independent Special Prosecutor to conduct a one-year grand jury probe of governmental corruption. Turning to teaching, Mr. Taylor served on the faculty of Gonzaga University School of Law, where he was voted Professor of the Year, was Visiting Professor at Pepperdine University Law School, and was finally appointed Fulbright Professor of Law at Osaka University in Japan.
