Awesome attorney

JOSH WAS AWESOME!! quoted me a retainer that was slightly less than what I'd been getting quoted at other places. He got my things done quickly and was even able to give my back some of my retainer. He also got me more money than I was asking for.

Way better lawyers out there!

Mr. Townsend was a terrible divorce lawyer. He never returns emails. He submitted our divorce papers and they were denied and tried to charge us more money for his incompetence. We decided to go with another lawyer. That lawyer charged us $740 to fix Mr. Townsends mistakes. Hire him as your lawyer if... you want someone that does not return calls or emails. Oh...and by the way. I have a coworker that used him as well. Says the same thing.

Best Thing To Ever Happen To Me

When Mr. Townsend took on my child custody case I was at the end of my rope. My ex-husband had my daughter against my will and court order for over a year. I didn't know where to turn. Within weeks of having this lawyer take my case, I got to see my daughter for the first time. Within a month see was... back in my home. My ex even got the treatment he needed for his alcohol addiction through court order. What he has done for my daughter, for my family....I owe him more than money can buy. But his rates where extremely fair to boot! I highly recommend Mr. Townsend to anybody looking for an awesome lawyer with heart. You won't be disappointed trust me.

Awful attorney

He took 2000 from me and did not return calls, emails, texts or anything. I had my child custody dragged out for a year and I finally got a better attorney and filed a board complaint against him!

Messy divorce

If I hadn't of had Josh as my attorney I would of been broke from my ex-wife . She tried to work me over by taking more than 50 50 custody , and tried to combine both my incomes from my part time job and main job. She didn't get but my main job income used for child support and I kept 50 50 custod...y. My kids and Myself aren't going to be starving and cold when they were with me trying to pay my bills to live and pay child support. I don't mind paying child support what so ever but being fair was all I wanted. JOSH TOWNSEND is by far the only attorney I would recommend. He is cursed with memory and can recall my kids names birthdays and my case after 7 years past. We were in court again battling recently and he helped me again with a support modification after some discoveries where found we kept the modification fair and reasonable. Thank God for Josh he's a great attorney.
