About L.
I have practiced law in Johnson County since 1975 with a focus on personal and business planning. I represent individual and business clients on issues that are important to them. My practice is motivated by what I can accomplish for my clients rather than by whose file I can bill. I believe this philosophy ensures quality representation at a fair cost.
Frank Taylor has practiced law in Johnson County since 1975 and has extensive experience in estate planning, drafting wills and trusts, estate administration, preparing related tax returns, and estate and trust litigation at both the trial and appellate court levels. He has represented small and large corporations in initial start up, expansion, merger, acquisition and liquidation of corporate and partnership entities, both general and limited. He has represented clients in all phases of commercial lending, including structured and secured transactions and loan workouts within and outside bankruptcy. He is the author of two chapters of the Kansas Bar Association's Kansas Estate Administration Handbook, and a chapter in the Kansas Corporation Law Handbook. He has frequently acted as a presenter at estate and trust law, business law and real estate seminars. He is Fellow of the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel.
Mr. Taylor has served since August 1, 1999, as president and CEO of the Olathe Chamber of Commerce. In this capacity, he supervises a staff of fifteen people in providing small business services, economic development support and convention and tourism activities. The Olathe Chamber of Commerce has over 1500 members and was designated "Nations Best Chamber" for 1999-2000 by the National Association of Membership Development.
Mr. Taylor has an undergraduate degree in physics and mathematics from Doane College. He served as an engineering officer on a U.S. Navy nuclear-powered cruiser. He earned his law degree at the University of Kansas in 1975 where he was editor in chief of the Kansas Law Review and was awarded membership in the Order of the Coif, a national legal honorary society.
Mr. Taylor was a member of the Board of Education of Olathe USD #233 from 1987 to 2003 and was its President 1990-91, 1993-4, and 1999-2000. He served in 1992 on the Kansas Commission for Education Restructuring and Accountability, and has been involved in many facets of the education improvement process on local, state, and national levels. He serves as Chancellor of the Episcopal Diocese of Kansas.
Mr. Taylor lives in Olathe with his wife, Kathy, who is a registered pharmacist. They have two adult daughters, Laura and Debbie, both graduates of Olathe North High School. Laura is a graduate of the University of Kansas School of Education. Debbie has a degree in Spanish and a law degree from the University of Kansas.
