Temporary Suspension Ordered

A temporary suspension has been ordered by the Kentucky Supreme Court

In its Petition, the Inquiry Commission sets forth the following factual basis for its request for a temporary suspension. Taylor worked for the Law Offices of Blake Maislin, Esq. (“Maislin Law Office”) until he was fired in September 2023 for belligerent behavior toward clients and other employees. According to Maislin Law Office, after leaving his employment Taylor showed up unannounced and physically threatened employees on several occasions.

On the afternoon of April 8, 2024, while Maislin Law Office employees were assembled outside to see a solar eclipse, Taylor drove up blaring loud music, exited his vehicle, and pulled a baseball bat and either an axe or a hatchet from his trunk. According to affidavits filed with the Inquiry Commission’s Petition, Taylor stood in the middle of the road and began to scream in a threatening and hostile manner for Blake Maislin to come outside and face him. Taylor had shaved his head and his face was covered with markings. Taylor yelled that he had his “war paint” on and was “ready to do this.” Maislin was not with the group of employees or in the building at the time.

The assembled employees retreated into the building while Taylor’s former assistant Teresa Mounce approached and spoke with him. Law enforcement was called. Taylor eventually drove away quickly with his tires squealing before police could arrive. Five to ten minutes later he drove by again slowly but did not stop or say anything.

On the same day, Taylor’s wife obtained an emergency order of protection (“EPO”) against Taylor. The District Court also entered an order requiring Taylor to surrender firearms.

That evening, a text to the former assistant

I’m a Blackfeet Warrior. You want to do work? I will take scalps. I was praying that Blake would come out. I was praying that he would choose the bat since he likes baseball, so I could execute my plan and take his scalp and drink his blood in front of you while I raged like a deranged starving cornered vengeful beast that prayed on its predator.

Bring it 300 like the Romans, The Trojans. The warriors. Every single person in my family ever besides my dad who had asthma and was disqualified from Vietnam, has been military, marines, navy, Air Force, green berets, rangers, naval gunners, nuclear engineers on submarines, police officers, MPs, snipers, scout snipers, covert officers, advanced lead, intelligence, no pilots unfortunately. That was my goal and why I joined air force ROTC, in hopes of becoming an Aviator. Even if it was flying a cargo ship, that I parlayed into what Stacy’s husband does.

So don’t think that the jew whose dad was a judge and family was in the trucking industry, who I outweigh by 40 lbs of muscle, who I shaved my head in preparation for would ever have a chance in warfare.

I drew a bulls on on my Adams Apple and jugular in case he chose the hatchet, but that would have fucking seriously pissed me off because I couldn’t take scalps until I brained him with that bat.

The bat can reach out. So I didn’t consider it a disadvantage. He pissed himself in his office.

There is another device called a Molotov cocktail that I think would be tremendously effective during like a big mediation, bring some innocents into it, to exponentially heighten the mother fucking horror.

A bar complaint was filed

This Court has reviewed the uncontroverted allegations of the Inquiry Commission and agrees that probable cause exists to believe Taylor’s conduct poses a substantial threat of harm to his clients or to the public. We further agree that probable cause exists to believe that Taylor is mentally disabled or is addicted to intoxicants or drugs and does not have the physical or mental fitness to continue to practice law. As such, we agree with the Inquiry Commission that his license to practice law should be temporarily suspended pursuant to SCR 3.165(1).
