Honest and reliable

I have used Mr Townsend in several business and personal dealings and each time he has been great. He responds in a timely manner, follows up when he says he will, gives me honest advice (even if it’s not good news). I highly recommend giving him a call for whatever your need is. If he can help, he certainly will - if not, he will give you some great advice on how to proceed and who to proceed with.

I was in a bad auto collision. Another driver slammed into me from the side, breaking my leg. Mr. Townsend helped me get a recovery for my injuries, pain, and for my wages I lost from being out while I was in the hospital. He was very helpful and patient with me. I could always talk to him throughout my ordeal. I am extremely satisfied with the work he did for me.
