Meet Attorney Walwin Lee “Wali” Taylor
Experienced. Strategic. Relentless.
Attorney Wali Taylor is the advocate you want in your corner when facing workplace injustice. Based in Broward County, Wali represents employees throughout Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and Palm Beach who have been mistreated, harassed, or wrongfully fired. With experience as a litigator, corporate counsel, and former Assistant Public Defender in the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, he brings powerful insight and strategy to every case.
Whether the fight is workplace discrimination or retaliation, a hostile work environment, or a serious car accident injury, Wali takes it on with the same relentless preparation.
If you’re dealing with discrimination, harassment, retaliation, or a wrongful firing, you don’t have to face your employer alone. As a Fort Lauderdale employment discrimination and retaliation lawyer, Wali Taylor helps Broward County workers understand their rights under federal and Florida law, gather the evidence that matters, and pursue the compensation they’re owed — from lost wages to emotional-distress damages. He also represents clients injured in car accidents across South Florida. Every case starts with a free, confidential consultation, and most are handled on a contingency fee — so you pay nothing unless he recovers for you.
An Investigator’s Approach to Proving Your Case
If you were fired or pushed out, you were probably given a reason. A performance problem. A restructuring. A policy violation. The truth is, in Florida an employer usually doesn’t have to give you a reason at all. But you were given one — so the question becomes whether it was the real one, or just disguised discrimination or retaliation.
Wali answers that question the way a trained investigator does: by testing it. He examines the employer’s explanation against the record — timelines, personnel files, emails, what witnesses saw and heard, and good old common sense.
He is a trial attorney who has taken cases to verdict, and a licensed private investigator with over a decade of experience. He represents employees, not employers. Wali currently serves as Programming Vice President of Florida NELA, the Florida chapter of the National Employment Lawyers Association.
