Collapse all
|Alexandria completed her undergraduate studies at Michigan State University and also obtained a Master's in Business Administration from Eastern Michigan University. Alexandria completed her law degree at University of Detroit Mercy School of Law.
Alexandria took the leap, opening her own practice in 2015. Taylor Law Firm is a boutique law firm located downtown Detroit. Alexandria's practice philosophy is servant first, leader second. Alexandria is passionate about teaching and mentoring young lawyers and currently is involved in the internship program at Wayne State University. Additionally, Alexandria is an Adjunct Professor at University of Detroit Mercy School of Law teaching the Small Firm Law Firm Program.
Alexandria is a mother of three children (Jackson, Jillian, and Juliana), one dog (Oliver), and passionate about being a voice for justice and upholding the integrity of the judiciary.
- All of my life experiences have led me to this point. To whom much is known, much is required. I have the integrity, temperament, and experience that is needed to restore faith in our court system.
- The 34th District Court is mainly a Criminal/Traffic docket. I have dedicated my career to fighting for the Constitutional rights of my clients as a defense attorney and for the community as an assistant city attorney. I have the experience that this court needs.
- I am running for judge because I have a deep and profound love of the law. Throughout my career, I have held trials across the state. Those experiences shed light on the good and bad within our system. What I love most about the law is its redemptive qualities. This system is full of imperfect people. Part of my career has been dedicated to teaching and molding the next generation of lawyers. This seat isn't about me. I am running for the betterment of our entire system.
As a parent of 2 school-aged children, I realize that we only get one shot at getting it right, educationally. I grew up in Romulus and am a proud product of our public schools. I have marched and picketed with our teachers as their fight is my fight. No matter what position I hold professionally, supporting education in our district will always be a priority.
The epidemy of class and strength. My mother migrated to the North as a young single mother and moved mountains that seemed insurmountable. She landed a job at NBD Bank, now Chase, downtown Detroit. She worked her way up the corporate ladder and became an Executive Officer. She spent 17 years in corporate America when she decided to take a leap of faith and open her own business. She opened Amour Adult Foster Care, a homebased group home for the developmentally delayed. My mother operated group homes in Romulus and Sumpter. When I was in Middle School, my mom wanted to open a business in Romulus. She opened a clothing store, Dynasty Fashions. The name came from the show Dynasty. Even though she ended up closing Dynasty years later, she never saw it as a failure. I was taught that true failure is never trying.
In 2014, I was in the midst of an 18-count CSC case with my old boss Todd Flood. I stayed in Lansing during the week and came home on the weekends. I noticed my mom was going to the doctor more than usual, but her and my stepdad were evasive whenever I asked. I found out that she was diagnosed with stage IV Ovarian cancer. That was in May of 2014. In November 2015, a few days after Thanksgiving, I said my final goodbye to her.
Life can deal some breathtaking blows at times. I found myself parentless at 34 years old. For a while, I lived my life bound up in fear. Fearful that something bad would happen. Throughout the healing process, I had to rebuild the pieces. Maybe it wouldn't be like before but that doesn't mean it wouldn't be something beautiful. I had to redefine myself and what I truly wanted.
Through my law firm, I have spent the past few years working with Wayne State University providing a unique internship experience to students aspiring a career in the law. Changing our system takes more than just me so I am pouring into the next generation of trailblazing lawyers. I am running to not only set an example but to pave the path for them. This seat isn't eve about me. It's about restoring faith in the system as a whole and that is why I am running.
In Michigan I watched some of the protest footage and saw many protests where law enforcement walked hand in hand with the protesters. Specifically, one in Flint. We get it here in Michigan. We understand that injustice to some is injustice to all. Nationally, we have the opportunity to set the stage for the great redemption of our entire legal system. I consider it a deep honor and privilege to even be considered as a part of this movement to come.
