Attorney

When I first got Josephine Townsend pointed to me in court I said we had one long talk and I hadn't heard from her and last 2-3 months I called every single day and so she would never get back to me and finally she did told me I didn't have to go to court and it was just for reviewing if we're readin...ess and so she was going to go take care of that and it turned out I got a warrant because she lied to me didn't need to be there she would take care of the readiness court date

Did nothing to help me.

Ms. Townsend did very little to defend me. Presented very little of the information I gave her or even what was on the detective's report. Said she filed an appeal but didn't. Her assistant responded to my calls and emails not her.

Do not hire ,waisted money

Hired to represent me in divorce case,no communication at all, not responding to emails or call,texts messages. Moving the court dates just to change more money. Just before the trial date she withdraw because I insisted to know what is going on and and didn't had any response back with paper tha...t was filled and discoveries. Empty words said that she'll do,she's persuasive in doing the work,just took the money for nothing. I do not recommend at all,no heart in this person,just taken advantage on people in bad situation.

When a client asks you to perform work that you cannot do, because it would be unethical, you have to withdraw. Multiple meetings, emails, and phone calls with the client. The response was "I do not care how much it costs, as long as she goes to jail". Hours and hours of work performed, remainder of fees waived for the client. Not every relationship with a client can work, we do work hard for our clients, and do everything we can under the law, but we will not cross the line for them. We wish the best to the client and hope that he finds a good match in legal services going forward.

Not trustworthy

Asked Josephine to access my legal options. Under her recommendation that we had a legal case and should file suit, we entered into a contract. She took a sizeable advance and payments for a case that she didn't seem to work on. She ended up missing a statue of limitations through her neglect to f...ile timely. She was hard to reach and didn't always respond.

Disciplined by the state bar.

I hired Josie to represent me in my child relocation case against my ex wife. She did a mediocre job at best, it was annoying that she was constantly late for meetings, and often required several phone calls before she would get back to me. When I was picking a lawyer I asked her point blank if sh...e had ever been investigated by the state bar. She said no. Now I have read multiple news stories in the Columbian that she was investigated by the Bar in 2006 and entered a diversion agreement to avoid official sanctions in 2006 or 2007. I hired her in 2010.
