Zachary Thomas Townsend

About a year ago I hired this lawyer to help me recover and protect my young daughters trapped by a known violent abusive felon in Wheaton. I knew going in, that DuPage corruption was in play, and we might not succeed. I didn't ask him to guarantee success, just do everything possible. During the cou...rse of his representation, we paid nearly a hundred thousand dollars to find protect and save my daughters from a nightmare. In the end, his office accomplished nothing that proved the girls were alive. During this time of his representation (and his astonishingly weak in court performances), we got a fraudulent restraining order on the girls beloved Grandmothers funeral, and a denial of all contact including phone calls, despite zero allegations of harm by me (the Father) to anyone anywhere. In the end (today) its became plainly obvious the only things he really cared about, was soaking my elderly father desperate and grieving with the loss of his wife of 60 years, and only hoping to re establish contact with his lost beloved granddaughters trapped in sexual exploitation and violence by corruption in DuPage. Throughout this time I pleaded with Townsend to take offensive legal action to protect these children, which he refused to do at every single turn, claiming those actions were not legally justified. A two min search on Google, revealed to me those actions to save these girls were enshrined in State and Federal Law. He lied to me about our legal rights and refused to file legally justified motions to protect the children. In the end all he could muster was to advise me to waive my constitutional rights, the ones he was hired to protect. 5 months after Covid hit, he advised me he would no longer meet wirh me in person no matter what safety precautions breaching his representation agreement, and then withdrew from representation leaving my innocent daughters exposed, because I brought it up to him. Today he refused to address the Judges systematic bias trapping children in violence with felons because he was scared of the Judge. He has knowledge but a bloated staff which I believe warps his view of responsibilities to protect his clents rights, and proved to me he was only interested in covering his own behind and churning an old grieving grandfather out of his family assets, right before he cut and ran leaving little girls trapped with a known violent felon. Words cannot explain how bad he hurt my family for $ while refusing to honor his representation contract.
