Before joining O’Hagan Meyer, Taylor gained litigation experience representing the Oregon Department of Justice in Oregon’s unique post-conviction relief system.

After deciding to pursue a legal career, he devoted his studies to both criminal and civil law before ultimately focusing on civil litigation. Taylor earned his J.D., with honors, from Lewis & Clark Law School in 2026.

Outside the office, Taylor can often be found in the mountains, in Hood River, or along the Oregon coast, depending on the season. He is also a dedicated practitioner of Brazilian jiu-jitsu and has trained for nearly a decade.
