Lee
R. Taylor holds a B.A. in Psychology from Mercer
University in Macon, Georgia, and his J.D. law degree
from the Mercer University School of Law. While still
in law school, he had already started his career in
the legal profession as part of the university’s
third-year practice program. Taylor has considerable
experience on both sides of the courtroom: Before moving
into a private practice that involves both civil litigation
and criminal defense cases, he had served as an assistant
district attorney for Dalton, GA; as city attorney for
the city of Ellijay, GA, and as county attorney for
Gilmer County, GA during the 1990s, a time of transition
for the county from rural Appalachian community to suburb
of the greater Atlanta metropolitan region.
He
went on to serve as Special Assistant Attorney General for the state
Department of Transportation and also for the state Department of Human
Resources – dealing with rights-of-way cases, title transfers and
condemnation litigation for the former, with cases for the Division of
Family and Children Services for the latter.
Taylor
is a certified mediator who has worked in general and
domestic relations dispute resolution. In Ellijay, he
was an active member of the United Methodist Church.
In other parts of his life, he can boast extensive experience
in the creation of stoneware pottery, stemming from
his family’s pottery business. An active member
of the Lexington Baptist Church, he resides with his
wife, Rebecca, on a family farm in Rockbridge County,
where Taylor says the current crop is horses. The Taylors
have four children.
