Josephine C Townsend

I hired Josephine last year to help with my case. My ex-wife was trying to take full custody of my child. She went to all extremes, threw me in jail, had over 10 declarations written against me, claiming neglect of my child, taking her to emergency after each of my visit, etc. It got ugly, and Josie ...gave me that piece of mind in the end. She was very up front of what to expect and didn't sugar coat things. I got more then I ever imagined and now I have a friend for life!

Josephine Townsend truly saved my Fiances life, and both myself and my Fiance will forever be in debt to her. In April of 2013, my life took a turn for the worse on a Thursday Morning when my Fiance was arrested on a probable cause charge for Child Molestation in the second degree. From that point on..., Josie was the only person who believed our story, and fought for his innocence over a years time period. Little did I know, prior to the arrest, that in the state of Washington a simple 10 minute game of soccer during broad daylight, in a public park, with a stranger, (14 year old girl), who has had a troubled past and multiple sexual molestation occurrences with other people, which has made her a hyperventilate individual, could somehow turn into a two year, superior court case in which my Fiances entire life and judge of character was put on the line. Throughout the most emotional, heart breaking, and frustrating situation that I have ever been through thus far in life, Josie was the only one by my side. When all was said and done, we endured an intense four day trial, and my Fiance was now looking at three counts of Child Molestation in the Second Degree, and three counts of Assault in the fourth degree. As my Fiance sat next to Josie in a court room of 12 jurors, myself, the prosecutor, my Fiances Father, the judge, and the judges clerk, we all awaited the verdict on the edge of our seats. I hope to God that I never have to feel that sickening feeling ever again as I pondered what was about to happen. However, the feeling that swept over me when the jury found my Fiance NOT GUILTY of all 6 charges, was by far the happiest feeling that I have ever felt thus far in my life. Without Josie, my Fiance could have been wrongfully put in prison for the rest of his life. I truly cannot thank her enough, and I would absolutely recommend her in ANY circumstance. Josie is a fighter, and will stop at nothing to defend her innocent clients. She is strong, trustworthy, intelligent, and caring. The time and effort that she put into my case was way more than I ever expected from the get go. Josie will forever be a friend of mine, and I know that GOD FORBID anything like this ever happens again, she is the lawyer that I want on my side.

I've had many lawyers in the past as I spent a lot of time in the judicial system as a juvenile. I had an unfortunate incident this last year that left me facing possible tens of years in a state penitentiary. Josephine was an excellent defense attorney and from the beginning she was proactive at cre...ating the most reasonable and allowable sentence for my situation. The end result of all of her hard work warranted a 6 month work release incarceration. She is caring, thoughtful, intelligent and very resourceful. I will continue to recommend her to all of my relatives and close friends.
