competent manner is almost impossible.

In looking at the circumstances surrounding a client’s case,
from apprehension to arrest and/or search, our first action is
to challenge the manner in which every step was conducted,
and/or how the evidence was obtained. The police must
adhere to the law like anyone else. When they don’t the
remedy is suppression and the case may be dismissed. In
addition, our drug crime attorneys often find in our
investigation that an individual has been over-charged. In
some cases, simple possession can be blown up and charged
as a possession with intent to deliver charge.
Domestic Violence
Domestic violence laws entail enhanced penalties for crimes
such as assault, destruction of property, harassment,
disorderly conduct, etc., committed by family and/or
household members against one another. Law requires the
police responding to domestic disputes to make an arrest in
virtually all cases, and the consequences can be devastating to
everybody involved. The courts of Clark County generally
prohibit contact between the accused and the complainant
throughout the course of the case, which can last months, or
longer. Arrests are frequently made for minor physical
contact like pushing or shoving, or even simply threats made
out of anger while under the influence, and even for breaking
community property having nominal value. These cases are
nevertheless prosecuted to the fullest and must be
aggressively defended against to preserve your rights and
guarantee fairness in the process. They are usually defensible.
Reasonable force is within your rights if used in self-defense,
or if used in the defense of property, and even in the
protection of others from harm.
Vehicular
Vehicular assault and vehicular homicide are generally based
upon accusations of intoxication, criminal recklessness and/or
negligence. Cases like this are generally extremely complex,
and frequently involve experts in reconstruction and
toxicology. Because of this, effort and experience are critical in
the defense of these cases. If you are charged with a violent
crime like vehicular homicide due to an incident of reckless
driving or drunk driving in Washington or Oregon, ensure
that you arrive in court equipped with knowledge and legal
support. At the firm of Josephine Townsend, PLLC., we’ll
apply all of our successful criminal law experience to your
case. Attorney Josephine Townsend has not only defended
hundreds of clients charged with driving under the influence,
and vehicular assault and homicide, but she’s obtained many
acquittals and dismissals as well.
DUI
The consequences of a driving under the influence, or driving
while intoxicated conviction in Washington or Oregon can be
absolutely devastating, involving something as simple as
losing your license, to jail, fines, increased insurance costs and
much more. You have rights, but they are worthless unless
they are vigorously asserted. At the law firm of Josephine
Townsend, PLLC, our attorneys bring years of experience,
and unequaled reputation to the defense of DUI and DWI
cases, including individuals looking at their second, or even
subsequent DUI/DWI charge. Just because you have been
incarcerated for driving drunk, or you fail a Breathalyzer,
does assure conviction.
Appeals
Many situations require an appeal. From criminal cases, to
firearms rights restoration, don’t delay and lose your rights
to correct a legal wrong. The losing party in a decision by a
trial court in the federal courts normally is entitled to appeal
the decision to a federal court of appeals
Defending against criminal charges requires experienced
legal counsel, and Josie Townsend is well versed in the
relevant law.
