Andrew Taylor | Blue Bell Family Lawyer

I practice family law in Montgomery, Chester, Bucks, Berks,  Delaware and Philadelphia Counties.   I also handle  family law appeals for cases all over the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.  One of my recent  successful appeals was the published Pennsylvania Superior Court decision of Hanrahan v. Bakker, 2016 PA Super 255 (2016), which I then argued before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in November 2017.

I was the 2017 Chair of the Montgomery Bar Association Family Law Section.  I was selected by my peers for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America® (2015, 2016 and 2017 Editions) in the field of family law, one of the legal profession’s oldest and most respected peer-review publications, published by U.S. News & World Report. I have attained an “AV Preeminent®” rating by Martindale-Hubbell, which is the highest rating available from Martindale-Hubbell. The American Institute of Family Law Attorneys (AIOFLA) selected me as a recipient of the Pennsylvania AIOFLA “10 Best” Client Satisfaction Award, which recognizes commitment to the field of family law and a high level of approval from peers and clients.

I have been named a “Rising Star” from 2008 through 2017 by the publisher of the Pennsylvania Edition of the Super Lawyers magazine, an honor given to the top 2.5 percent of attorneys in Pennsylvania who are 40 years or younger or in practice for 10 years or less. I have also received an Avvo® Rating of “10 – Superb.”

I have been named a “Top Divorce Attorney” by Mainline Today Magazine, a “Top Family Law Attorney” by Philadelphia Life Magazine and an “Awesome Attorney” in the area of Family Law in Philadelphia by Suburban Life Magazine. In 2011, I received the “Lawyer on the Fast Track Award,” an honor given to only 27 Pennsylvania attorneys under 40 years of age by The Legal Intelligencer recognizing the future leaders of Pennsylvania’s legal community.  I speak and write frequently on a number of family law topics.
