Review of My Favorite Attorney
Peggy Cruz-Townsend was not at all what I expected when I hired her as my attorney. Peggy cares. She cared about the case and she cared about how I was doing. She made frequent telephone calls to check on how I was feeling about how this case was going, updating me all the way. I'm 73 years old a...

The personal & professional care is top level!
I first called Miss Cruz-Townsend over the phone very nervous and heartbroken over a pending divorce. Her listening skills and compassion lead to a meeting in her office in South Florida. I hired her then she guided me on the journey through divorce over many months. She advocated for me and guide...

Horrible Immigration lawyer
I wish there were negative rankings so I could have done justice to this review. I came to this country 3 years ago through a legitimate visa, and applied for my green card. I used the services of Ms.Townsend to help me with the process. (I fear paperwork and thought it might be a good idea to go thr...
I remember this case clearly. My staff and I always strive for excellence in service. In this case, the client was treated professionally and courteously. This client hired me to assist him in obtaining a permanent residency card, and he obtained said card through the diligent efforts of my staff and I. All documents were properly prepared and submitted to the immigration department. On the day of this particular client’s scheduled interview with the immigration officer, the client arrived at the immigration office quite early and decided to take an earlier interview appointment than the appointment that had been originally scheduled for him. When I arrived on time at the originally-scheduled appointment time, I was informed by the immigration office that the client had arrived early and changed his interview to the earlier time. However, the client never informed my office that he had taken an earlier appointment. As such, I could not possibly be present at an appointment of which I had no knowledge. Nevertheless, the documents that my staff and I prepared were so detailed and well drafted, that the immigration officer that interviewed my client immediately approved his case at the interview. This client is now a permanent resident of this country due to the efforts of my staff and I. While we respect the client’s point of view, our memory of this incident differs greatly from that of the client. Our office will continue to strive to provide excellent service to all of our clients. As such, we encourage the client to contact our office should he wish to discuss the matter further.

Attorney Cruz-Townsend did a great job for me.
Ms. Cruz-Townsend got great results for me in my social security case. At our first meeting, she told me that, with my condition, I had a chance to get disability payments. The Attorney told me the steps that we would need to take for the application process. She was thorough when she prepared my ...
"I have known Peggy as a fellow attorney for approximately 16 years. Over the years I have been a mediator on cases she's handled and I have found Peggy to be professional, knowledgeable and very confident in her abilities. I have been so impressed with Peggy's abilities that I have confidently referred many cases to her that are outside the scope of cases my firm handles."
