From Brandi Reagan, Executive Director, Children’s Advocacy Center

“For 15 years, Rob Taylor has been the constant force behind our work. As an assistant district attorney, as a founder, and as the leader of our multidisciplinary team, he has never wavered in his commitment to children. He has walked with us through challenges, celebrated our successes, and put out more fires than I can count. His dedication to this mission is unmatched.

Rob has been the heartbeat of our multidisciplinary team, leading professionals from law enforcement, DSS, medical, mental health, and advocacy to work together for the best interest of children.

Since day one, Rob has carried the weight of both prosecuting child abuse cases and building a system where children are heard, believed, and protected.

Rob Taylor doesn’t just fight cases in the courtroom – he has built the partnerships and systems that give children a chance at healing.”

From Anna Smith, Child Sexual Abuse Survivor

“Words will never be enough to thank him for walking beside me through the hardest journey of my life. For five years, he carried the light when all I could see was darkness, helping me navigate through the maze of the court system, the grand jury, the upheaval of COVID on criminal justice, and finally, my own trial. He made sure I never felt alone, and because he bore witness to my truth, I was able to begin healing. He saw me. He heard me. He believed me. He is an extraordinary man.”
