You Want This One On Your Side

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.

Josephine Townsend is an honest, hardworking Attorney

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.

A true professional with a heart of gold!

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.

Excellence is spelled "Townsend".

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.

Case Dismissed

I recently received a summons to report to Family Court regarding a petition that had been filed by social services. Social serviices was asking for a modification of a prior order given during my divorce. During that time it had been decided by the court that my ex was to provide medical insurance... for our children. The new petition was requesting that I now provide insurance if it was available and affordable. Medical insurance was available at my place of work and I currently had single coverage. In order to add family coverage the premium along with the high deducttible made it extremely unafforable for me, since both of my sons have medical issues that would have required me to meet the high deductible. Josie was able to give me a better understanding of what I would need to prove to the court that it would be unaffordable and the confidence to stand up for myself. The case was dismissed Thank You Josie
