About

Murphy is a Criminal and Traffic Law attorney, practicing in and around the Greensboro area. "I was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, where I lived until 1996, when I headed north to Boone, North Carolina to attend college at Appalachian State University.  During my time at A.S.U., I earned a Bachelor’s degree and a Master’s degree in English.  I also became a serious outdoorsman.     After completing my Master’s degree, I left the mountains and I taught English at North Carolina State University and at Elon University before pursuing a career in the Law.   I am a proud graduate of the Elon University School of Law.  While at Elon Law, I completed coursework in Family Law and Litigation and I interned for the Alamance County District Attorney’s Office and the High Point District Attorney’s Office.  I developed a passion for both Family Law and Criminal Law cases, since both legal areas allow me to intervene and to help people with serious legal issues.   I will bring all of my enthusiasm and legal acumen to bear on your case."

I would Use J Murphy Townsend again and would urge anyone looking for a good attorney to do the same . I found his fees to be very reasonable and he did just what he told me he wanted to do. Also he stayed in touch with me and anytime I had a question it was answered very quickly, I was very happy with his service

I had an old traffic violation for a DUII accompanied with a Failure to appear from 1997. The court issued a warrant for my arrest and suspended my driver's license indefenantly. I've moved that same year to Oregon. I tried to find a resolvable solution but was told by the clerk of court that I needed to return to NC in able to settle the issue. It now being 19 years 9 months later without a driver's licenses I went through an Attorney Referral Agency for which they referred me to Mr.Townsend. I contacted Mr. Townsend and filled him in on the whole issue and asked if he was able to help or direct me in which direction I needed to go without having to return to NC. Mr. Townsend was very informative and open as to what he could or could not do in my case and wanted to review my case before making any final judgments and would get back with me . I received a call from Mr. Townsend telling me he felt very confident that he could have the warrant dropped and the charges dismissed based on the age of the case. He also shared what to expect as the worst that could happen. I really felt that Mr. Townsend did have my best of interest at concern and he kept me up dated through the whole process and so was not blind sighted or left caught off guard with incurring cost. Mr, Townsend was always up front with me from the very begining and laid everything out from the start what to expect and about the cost involved. Mr.Townsend actually saved me money and had the charges dismissed. I am more than just grateful for the integrity, honesty, and compassion illistrated by Mr. Townsend's dedication to me as his client.

Very professional. Advised me on actions recommended/ available on how to handle my case. Available throughout my case. I was not able to attend my summons time slot and Mr. Townsend was able to handle without my presence. Quoted a flat rate during first consultation. I was extremely satisfied and would recommend Mr. Townsend to others.

I found Mr. Townsend to be knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and accessible. He accurately evaluated my case and offered sound advice. He explained to me his plan for handling my case and kept me apprised at each step in the process. He answered my questions and always responded to my emails and phone calls promptly. The end result after my court date was even better than I had expected. I will definitely call him if I ever again have need of legal services.
