Talley earned his bachelor of arts in philosophy and history at the University of Alabama and a juris doctorate at Harvard Law School. He was an articles editor for the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy.
Talley joined the Washington D.C. office of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher and was a clerk to Scott Coogler in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama, and to Judge Joel Dubina on the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta, Georgia. He worked as a senior writer for Mitt Romney's presidential campaign and also for Ohio Senator Rob Portman.

In September of that year President Donald Trump nominated Talley to a seat on the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Alabama, based in Montgomery.
