This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Highly Recommend - Very Satisfied

Rodney helped me with an auto accident claim and was very helpful. Could not have gotten thru it without his help. I struggled getting treatment after my accident and he immediately helped me find medical care. He always followed up with me and was right on target with everything he promised. I will ...definitely recommend him to my family and friends. You won't be disappointed!

Great attorney

I was involved in an car accident and needed help fighting the other drivers insurance company. I felt pressured to settle so I could move on with my life. Thank goodness I followed a friends advice and hired Mr. Townsend. He handled my case professionally and always had my best interests in mind. I'...ll never hire anyone else, he is the best!

Highly recommended

People make mistakes and deserve a second chance. That's what Mr. Townsend got me, my second chance. He kept me informed about my case, returned my phone calls and ended up getting my criminal case dismissed. I am highly pleased with him and would recommend him to anyone facing any criminal matter. T...hanks to you and your staff.

Client review

When tragedy struck our family Mr. Townsend was there for us and was not going to back down against the big company that injured my husband and my children's father. He will always be our lawyer.

"Rodney has an acute keenness with respect to all the moving parts in a lawsuit. In my discussions with Rodney about cases, he was always one step ahead. He had analyzed the consequences of every move. A master strategist. When an issue comes up in one of my cases, he is always on the short list of people I call. He is an excellent trial lawyer. Juries love him. I would hire Rodney Townsend in a second for any type of matter."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
