Only helped stall my case

I hired Zach under a contract for my divorce case. I was told we could get everything accomplished rather quickly. In 3 months my retainer was spend in 3 court status hearings before I was sent to billing for an additional monetary supplement. Was not worth the 6 K retainer for him to go to court ...and say no change to the judge. I was grateful he was able to file but abhorred the money hungriness shown with zero results in 3 months. Ultimately changed lawyers. At the charged rate It would have taken me over $42,000 for 21 appearances to accomplish nothing by saying no change your honor. Can't even imagine what the cost would have been to go to trial as ultimately 2 trials were associated with my case before divorce was finalized. Ultimately changed to another lawyer who at least did follow-up and more than stand in front of judge and say no change and schedule himself back in court within the month.

Zach Townsend recommendation

If you want a lawyer that listens to your needs then you need to call Zach Townsend at Pro Forma Legal Care at 815-200-8802. I have known Zach for 5 plus years and he has helped me in ways that have shown my ex wife that its not all about her. Zach can help you write any kind of court papers that you... may need but if there was ever a time that he couldn't he will help you find someone that could help you. He treats you like family not just a number or paycheck like the big firms do. Call Zach now with all your legal needs and tell him that Ron sent you.

Amazing advocate

Attorney Townsend was the best advocate for my divorce. He was patient and involved in every step of the process. I felt heard and like he fought for me every step of the way. I would gladly recommend him to anyone.

Amazing Lawyer

Mr. Townsend was with me all the way through my divorce, almost like a friend when I need the advice and consult. Would refer him to anyone going through the process as it's hard enough having to divorce.

Zach is highly recommended.

Zach has an amazing attention to detail. He was able to help me through my divorce. When it came to myou custody he was the guy for the job.
