In addition to trying cases to verdict, Taylor has appeared and argued before the Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District and the Kansas Court of Appeals, and he has also handled appeals in the United States Court of Appeals both for the 8th Circuit and 10th Circuit.
A Kansas City native, Taylor earned bachelor’s degrees in both Spanish and Criminology from Kansas State University, graduating summa cum laude, before attending the oldest law school in the United States, William & Mary Law School in Williamsburg, Virginia and graduating cum laude with his JD.
