Josephine C Townsend

Pay attention. Be respectful, be assertive. This attorney may just *give* you some knowledge. Josie was the last of three attorneys I had appointments with regarding my PI case. A fairly straight forward, perhaps even routine case. I went to the other two much higher priced, highly recom...mended attorneys with the exact same info I went to Josie with. I had higher expectations at the higher priced, nice office, downtown PDX attorneys. Guess what. All the high priced, highly recommended attorneys wanted was for me to sign their 33.33% PI contracts before I left the initial "consultations". Like I said, my case was pretty straight forward. I thought so anyway, but wanted professional reassurance, and I had questions. I was injured, in a lot of pain. I was lucky to have survived, but with life long injuries. I had questions. Questions the other higher priced attorneys didn't want to answer without a signed contract. I felt like a dollar sign to them. I was kind of discouraged. I considered signing with one of them. I just wanted some answers! I had reasons for wanting representation. What if there wasn't enough insurance to cover my medical bills, etc. Perhaps simple answers cost money these days. Nope. I decided to keep my appointment with Josie, even though [internet] research revealed some less than favorable results about Ms. Townsend. All attorneys are sleazy, right? No. Do not [pre] judge. Everything you read on the Internet is not always indicative of an outcome, or even true, duh! I took the same documents, same set of questions to Josie as the other two highly regarded attorneys. Guessing it could be another high pressure, low info waste of time. Nope. Opposite. Josie went right in to helpful, educator mode. She helped me understand just how much I was on the right track, showing me how what I thought I already knew was in the official documents I had. How strong my case was. This info was not immediately obvious, because it was encoded in my documents. Impressively, she printed out the key and showed me how to use the key to decode my documents. She was honest. Basically told me I didn't need an attorney's help, but would do all she could for me if I chose to hire her. I had to ask her for her contract! She told me to take the contract home with me and return a signed copy if I decided I wanted her to help me further. She did not want me to sign it during that first meeting. WTF? Yep. I hired her. Her fee, lower than most every other attorney, was worth it (to me) just for the education. Money is money. Knowledge... is power. Thank you Josie. For giving me knowledge. Before I ever committed to giving you a penny. I will forever be grateful for that. Money comes. Money goes. Knowledge is forever. It may be routine for you. My injuries will never fully heal. Nobody can ever take away the knowledge I have gained by being patient enough to meet with you. I hired you mostly for that reason (and, also a little because I think you challenge the establishment). Doing the right thing. Not just the most lucrative things. No regrets. I will recommend your services to anyone I know. Don't ever change. Your life experience and willingness to challenge the establishment is refreshing. All of these things are why I chose to work with you. High 5! Thank you!

Josephine help me in the past with my divorce ten years ago. Last month, she helped us with an adoption process. She handle the process with care and professionalism. I highly recommend her for her hard work and determination to take care of what is needed. What she did for me and my kids during my d...ivorce process, made a difference in our life's. I was happy to contact her again to help us with the adoption process. My husband and I feel blessed that she help us with it. Thank you!

I have had the honor of having Josephine Townsend as my Attorney for the last 3 and half years. Not only does she abide by the laws, she gives 150% to her clients. She is honest, trustworthy, dedicated and knowledgeable. She is always available to answer your questions and help you to understand the ...Justice System. She is one of the last few Lawyers I know that cares about her clients and not just the fees she can charge. You can tell she has dedicated her life to her practice and her clients. She is diligent in her research of your case and making sure that your rights are protected. She is the example that most Lawyers need to follow, that being: That your Client and their rights are the most important thing, not the money or the "Glory". I would HIGHLY recommend Josephine Townsend to anyone who needs an honest, dedicated and hardworking Attorney.

Ms.townsend is handling my divorce and child custody case. She has been an amazing resource to my family and has always gone above and beyond what my expectations are. She works hard, 7 days a week and is available to me most nights until late evenings. She has ALWAYS returned my calls and emails pro...mptly and has never disappointed me with her communication skills. She is a wonderful person, compassionate, and caring and will fight for what is right for all her clients. There were times I was not being realistic in my pursuits and Ms. Townsend was very clear always giving me advice even if it was not what I wanted to hear it was what I NEEDED to hear. She is fair, honest and forthright and will always look out for everyone's best interests that she represents. Josie has helped me out of one of the darkest periods of my life and helped me back on my feet. I will recommend her services to anyone needing legal advice. She is a true professional that restored my faith in the law profession.
