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.

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.

Not my client.

Brilliant, Aggressive, and Persistent.

I hired this attorney to help my disabled son, who was incarnated with abusive staff. She was able to resolve permanently, having staff reassigned, and our son placed in a progressive situation that led to his release, after much additional work. She was compassionate, and diligent, as well as person...able. I am grateful.

Dedicated, Hardworking and Trustworthy.

I hired Ms. Townsend for a child custody case. In the beginning I was going to court without a lawyer, just me and my Mom. It felt like no one was listening to me and thought I would lose my son. My Mom was able to find a lawyer for me that didn't ask for $1000 of dollars before talking to me. She li...stened to me and I knew I hired the right lawyer. She stuck with me to the end making going to court so much easier. I could always talk to her. I won the custody case because of Josephine Townsend. Ms. Townsend is dedicated to her clients. She kicks injustice in the butt.
