Graham C. Taylor

Graham C. Taylor is an attorney at Marrs Ellis & Hodge LLP in Austin, Texas, concentrating his practice on condemnation, eminent domain and property rights. His practice is dedicated to protecting land rights for property owners facing government takeovers or condemnation actions by state and local authorities. With extensive experience in Texas real estate litigation, he helps clients secure just compensation and preserve their constitutional rights throughout every stage of the condemnation process.

A skilled advocate, Mr. Taylor has successfully protected property owners both inside and outside the courtroom. He regularly represents clients in judicial proceedings and before special commissioners’ hearings across Texas. Beyond litigation, he has mediated and settled dozens of eminent domain cases out of court. His strategic, results-driven approach guarantees landowners receive strong representation, whether resolving disputes through suitable settlements or vigorously defending property rights at trial.

Before pursuing his law degree, Mr. Taylor earned his undergraduate degree in political science from the University of St. Thomas. He then proceeded to enroll in the University of Houston Law Center, where he earned the LEX Award for the highest grade in legal writing. He also clerked with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Texas, gaining early exposure to judicial proceedings. He received his Juris Doctor in 2018 and, in the same year, was admitted to the State Bar of Texas.

Outside of the courtroom, Mr. Taylor is an active contributor in the legal community. He serves as an adjunct professor at the University of St. Thomas, teaching constitutional law and environmental law. He also works as the assistant coach of the university’s mock trial team, training upcoming professionals in the art of effective trial advocacy.
