About Russell
Russell Taylor took a circuitous path into law. He began in the sciences, earned an associate degree in physics, then moved into accounting before turning to legal studies. That sequence of degrees — an A.S. in Physics from Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College (2006), a B.S. in Accounting from Georgia Southwestern State University (2014), and a J.D. from Atlanta’s John Marshall Law School (2018) — shows a mix of technical and financial training that informs his approach to cases.
Those academic years were more than line items on a resume. They shaped how he evaluates evidence and numbers. The physics training encouraged careful measurement and skepticism. The accounting background trained him in records and analysis. Law school added courtroom procedure and legal reasoning. Taken together, the education suggests a lawyer comfortable with detailed fact patterns and financial documentation.
Taylor’s early legal experience includes internships that put him inside local criminal and judicial systems. In 2017 he worked with The Honorable Warren Davis of the Superior Court of Gwinnett, gaining firsthand exposure to trial court operations. The following year he interned with the Gwinnett County Solicitor, a role that offered perspective on charging decisions and courtroom advocacy from the prosecution’s side.
Records list a partnership role at Daniels & Taylor, P.C., beginning in 2014. That entry appears alongside his later academic credentials. Whatever the chronology, Taylor is currently associated with Daniels & Taylor, P.C. He is admitted to practice in Georgia and holds memberships in local professional groups, including the Gwinnett County Bar Association since 2019 and the Georgia Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers since 2020. Those affiliations place him in the company of local trial attorneys and criminal defense practitioners.
Colleagues describe Taylor as methodical in preparation and direct in court. He draws on his accounting background when cases involve financial records or complex billing questions. His courtroom internships gave him an understanding of both bench and prosecutorial perspectives. That combination has shaped how he evaluates plea offers, motions and trial strategy.
He practices out of Daniels & Taylor, P.C., and handles matters that include criminal defense work and related litigation in Georgia. He currently practices at Daniels & Taylor, P.C., concentrating on criminal defense matters.
