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!

When my marriage of 24 years came abruptly to a halt, I was very scared and confused. Josie was recommended by 2 people I knew. She answered my email right away and got me in immediately for a consult. In just one meeting, she was able to put my mind at ease and connected with me as a person, not jus...t a client. She was available to me anytime I had questions through out the divorce process. She not only successfully handled my divorce to my complete satisfaction, she helped me get my confidence and life back! I would highly recommend Josie to anyone needing an attorney that really cares about her clients even after the case is over!

We sued the defendants, a collection agency, over 6 years ago for breach of contract and unpaid bills. Our first two attorneys allowed things to happen that diminished the value of our claim. Thankfully, Josie agreed to step in before we had no case left. She immediately painted a picture of realist...ic expectations, based on what was left of our case. Josie continually gave me homework to do in order to refute the lies of the defendants. She absolutely got some very important cornerstones of our case. As she soon found out, opposing counsel was not inclined to play fair or nice. He, like his clients, tried to spin things, stall, cheat and actually lie. All the while though, Josie kept her integrity in check and refused to engage in such behavior...nor would she put up with their ridiculousness. Josie was appalled to learn that the defendant's and their attorney wanted my personal & private medical records in order to agree to a continuance for interrogatories when I was diagnosed with a tumor in my pancreas. She didn't let that type of behavior interfere with her desire to bring resolution to our case. She sill maintained an extremely high level of professionalism. Our case finally went to trial beginning March 23, 2015. Josie was well armed with statues to fend off 11th hour attempts by the defendant's and their attorney, to have the case dismissed. She was able to present our case in the manner I wanted, by being truthful and providing documentation. The defendant's blatantly lied, played stupid and responded deceptively. She was patient with opposing counsel as he continually interrupted her with unnecessary objections, averaging over 20 objections per witness. She was professional enough to show opposing counsel how to use electronic equipment to aid with his presentations. She also pointed out where he should look when she was presenting exhibits to witnesses. Josie didn't ridicule or talk down to the defendants while they were testifying, which would have been easy to do since they were playing coy or flat our lying...which she was able to prove. Josie asked for me to write an opening and closing and questions for her to ask witnesses. This was huge because as I pay great attention to testimony and little details, I was able to regularly pass her notes for follow-up questions. I worked for the defendants so I know a lot about their procedures and practices, which was key to our success in this case. I suggested that we subpoena the officers of the defendant company, their employee wives and their attorney. Josie asked Connie and I to participate in everything as we are a team. Josie required us to show respect in the court at all times, including standing for the jury upon entry and exit. Her courtroom etiquette is exemplary. One of the key elements to our case was that the defendant's were engaging in breach by serving legal documents in cases they were a party to, which is clearly against state law. Josie was able to get them to admit and acknowledge this, on the record...and implicate their attorney as well. The defendants tried to claim they were allowed to breach because we breached first. They tried to claim we overcharged them in their counterclaim. Josie, because of her thoroughness, proved that these claims and allegations were false. She backed the defendants into the corner wherein they admitted they were wrong. After 6 yrs and 2 months, after a 4 day jury trial, the verdict came in...Verdict on both allegations for the Plaintiffs. Verdict on the counterclaim by the defendants denied. The juror's said they didn't find defendant's and their attorney credible or likeable. On the other hand, they found us likeable and credible. They also said they absolutely loved Josie and found her credible.

Josephine Townsend is the best attorney I've had the pleasure to work worth. She was diligent, persistent, trustworthy, caring and reassuring. I can't speak highly enough on the excellent job. Her office staff is friendly, and helpful. She returns phone calls, answers questions and gives her honest o...pinion. I would highly recommend her. I will be forever indebted to her.
