Review Rodney Townsend

Highly Recommend - Very Satisfied

Posted by

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

Posted by

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!

Rodney is a tireless advocate for his clients and an honorable and trustworthy man. I am proud to call him a colleague and friend.

Eric Edwardson, Insurance Attorney on Aug 18, 2015
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

Rodney cares about his clients and works hard to make sure that they get the highest level of representation. His character is sterling, and he is very effective.

Paul Fukuda, Criminal defense Attorney on Jul 3, 2012
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I have known Rodney for many years. He is a tireless advocate for his civil clients. It is so nice to see attorneys going the extra mile for their clients. I endorse Rodney without question.

Dean Gresham, Car accident Attorney on Jun 20, 2012
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Rodney emodies the integrity and values that made me want to become a lawyer. He is not only a role model to many other lawyers, but also the lawyer that I would call if my family or friend was injured or in need of help. Rodney is a zealous and fearless advocate that always has his client's best interest close to his heart and in his mind.

Michael Gerke, Personal injury Attorney on Jun 11, 2012
Relationship: Worked together on matter

I have known Rodney for over 15 years. Not only is he an excellent lawyer, but he is an outstanding person. If I need legal assistance in the Golden Triangle area, Rodney is my "go to" guy.

Jim Bearden, Personal injury Attorney on Aug 12, 2011
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

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.

Brian Mazzola, Personal injury Attorney on Aug 10, 2011
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Rodney is an excellent trial lawyer. He cares very much for his clients, always gives 110%, and ultimately gets the best results possible. I unequivocally endorse this lawyer.

Steven Parkhurst, Car accident Attorney on Aug 10, 2011
Relationship: Worked together on matter

I endorse this lawyer. I have personally handled personal injury cases with Rodney Townsend, and have been impressed with his knowledge of the law and his ability to convince others of the value of his client's claims. Rodney personally handles the cases he accepts, and he is diligent in informing the client and keeping the client involved in all aspects of the litigation.
