About Chris: I’m Chris Taylor.
Divorce and family law is all I do.

I grew up in Colorado and Montana and knew from an early age that I wanted to become a lawyer. I also spent a great deal of time working on my family’s ranch. The work ethic I learned there stayed with me through college, law school, and into practice.

As an undergraduate, I studied under Sherman Finesilver, then Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Colorado, and constitutional scholar Norman Provizer. I later attended the University of Denver College of Law and graduated a semester early.

After marrying a fourth-generation Northeast Florida native, Northeast Florida became home.

I practice family law because it combines difficult legal issues with the opportunity to help people through an important and often difficult period in their lives. Both parts of the practice matter to me.

I intentionally keep my practice small and use technology to operate efficiently. That allows me to remain directly involved in my cases and provide clients with personal attention throughout the process.

My approach is to look for reasonable opportunities to resolve a case without unnecessary litigation. At the same time, I prepare cases with the understanding that some disputes will ultimately need to be decided by a judge.

I try cases regularly in Northeast Florida family courts. That experience helps me give clients a practical assessment of how the law may apply to their particular circumstances and what they can reasonably expect as the case moves forward.

Preparation also makes meaningful negotiation possible. It is difficult to evaluate a settlement unless you understand the facts, the law, and the possible outcome at trial.
