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.

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.

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.

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 is a wonderful lawyer who takes her work very seriously, but also takes the time to be human with those she helps. She made me feel like family whenever I came into her office. Josephine handled our case like a true professional, always keeping us up to date and making sure we were doing ...everything correctly. I am very grateful to have had Josephine as my lawyer, I strongly recommend her to anyone who needs a lawyer who is willing to go the extra mile for you.
