The Managing Partner at Taylor Law Firm, Varney Taylor, is among 100 top attorneys featured along with Lee London, Managing Attorney for the nine-11 Victim Compensation Fund Practice at Barasch and McGary in the United States.
Atty Taylor, a Liberian, is on records for knowing how it feels to be in limbo, to be uncertain and anxious about the future but also striving for it.
When Mr. Taylor first went to the U.S. from Liberia, he found himself on temporary status, without a green card and unable to get into law school and build a life especially with war raging his home country, he could not return either.
“My dreams fell far away,” he remembered. But Taylor driven to succeed, earned his Juris Doctor degree in law from Western Michigan University and his LL.M in international business and economic law from Georgetown University.
Since then, this attorney has worked to help people in the same position he was in and to date, he successfully manages the Taylor Law Firm which he founded in 2015 in Washington, D.C. with focus primarily on immigration law throughout the entire U.S
In addition to drafting and negotiating international contracts, Taylor, with a dual master’s in business and public administration, he is not only able to help his clients overcome the legal hurdles, but also help them with their business goals.
“Many immigrants want to start small businesses, so I help them with that, as well,” he says. Varney’s past experiences in mortgage, accounting, and financial services makes him a doubly valuable resource for clients.
Mr. Taylor is not just helping recent immigrants through his legal and financial services, but people back home where he started a foundation named the Varney Taylor Foundation which provides health care, education, and vocational training to young and unemployed Liberians.
Mr. Taylor also volunteers at the D.C. Bar Pro Bono Center offering legal advice to small business owners.
