Taylor & Ring LLP

Profile

In just six years, Taylor & Ring has become a plaintiffs’ personal injury trial firm that remains small in size but is a powerhouse in terms of the significant cases it handles, the jury verdicts it obtains and the reputation it has established among other lawyers.

John C. Taylor’s and David M. Ring’s high standing in the legal community is evident, as both were named to the Top 100 Southern California Super Lawyers® list for the second consecutive year.

ANOTHER IMPRESSIVE YEAR

The firm’s accomplishments in 2007 include an $18.6 million verdict for an injured motorcyclist, which was the largest personal injury verdict ever rendered in the Norwalk branch of the L.A. Superior Court, and one of the largest personal injury verdicts in California for the year. The firm continued its representation of the family of Lana Clarkson in its wrongful death lawsuit against music producer Phil Spector.

Also in 2007, the firm obtained seven-figure settlements in several personal injury cases, which included those on behalf of young victims of sexual abuse.

The Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles (CAALA) nominated Taylor and Ring for Trial Lawyer of the Year.

OUTSTANDING RESULTS

With a combined total of almost 50 years of trial experience, Taylor & Ring has obtained record results for its clients: $57 million (insurance bad faith); $18.6 million (motorcycle accident); $14.4 million (trucking accident); $13 million (products liability); $10.8 million (child sexual abuse); $6.75 million (police shooting); $6.75 million (child sexual abuse); $5 million (bad faith); $4 million (motorcycle accident); $3.7 million (road design); $3.3 million (wrongful death); $3.1 million (battery); and multiple seven- and eight-figure verdicts and settlements.

Their peers repeatedly select Taylor and Ring for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America. Both serve on the board of governors of the CAALA.

DIVERSE TRIAL WORK

The firm has a vast background of jury trial experience in a wide variety of matters, with a focus onplaintiffs’ personal injury, wrongful death, products liability, premises liability, sexual abuse and civil rights.

LAWYER REFERRALS

“We pride ourselves on the strong relationships we have developed over the years with other lawyers who frequently refer cases to us,” says Ring. Taylor adds, “Because the firm accepts only a limited number of cases, each client receives committed, personal attention. It's the perfect recipe for practicing law.”
