“Perfect Lawyer”
Steve Townsend is the best lawyer you could ever choose! I truly mean that from the bottom of my heart! I am so happy I chose him as my lawyer. Not only did he help me out and totally save my a** he got me a better deal than I thought I was going to get. He is very kind and personable, if you are ever in need of a lawyer to get you out of trouble or whatever you would need one for choose HIM! The fact that he is so upfront and honest with you is great. Steve is old school and I love it cause I was raised that way myself. Most people don’t care about you and just want your money but Steve is the man! So if you ever want the “perfect lawyer” Steve Townsend is the man to choose!

Thank you so much
“It was such an honor to have you as our Attorney. It was so terrifying to have to be in the position of finding an Attorney in the first place; especially one that would fairly represent a young black man in today’s society. I researched & found you were the most reputable before even coming to speak with you. It was relieving to see that you also litigated civil rights cases and therefore, we made the decision to meet with you. Once my son & I came to see you, we knew that you were the Attorney we needed. You were very open & honest; non-judgmental & understanding, but most important, went over & above and exceeded the out-come you had originally predicted. You were always an E-mail, Telephone Call or Text away & always answered no matter where you were or what you were doing & more importantly, you knew exactly what to do with astonishing results.
Thank you so much for all of your support. We appreciate you more than you could ever imagine.”
Yours Sincerely,
The Q….. Family
FINDING MY INNOCENCE
Steven Townsend is an excellent attorney, and I would highly recommend him to anyone facing a legal battle. Last year, I faced some very serious acquisitions with the legal system, and Steven was able to walk me through all steps involved in the legal process, which took close to a year to resolve. In the end, Steven was able to get me the best possible outcome, finding my innocence in the legal system. I cant thank him enough

Both Cases Dismissed!
Steve Townsend is the exception as an attorney. I cannot speak highly enough of him. He had my best interest in mind during every step in representing me. He managed to keep me grounded even during my most difficult times. He did an excellent job at making sure I remained informed. Steve is very intelligent and is able to work every angle of a case. I was able to build a great relationship with Steve and he had my full trust. Thank you for everything!

Steve Townsend, You got me out of a legal mess on November 14, 2013. I just wanted to thank you again. My career has been a dream since then. I am busy and successful in ……….New York……….

I highly recommend Hilary Bendik. She represented me through a lengthy and complex case. She was highly responsive, knowledgeable, and had a consistently helpful understanding of my case and details from the very beginning to the very end.

Top Lawyers in Pittsburgh
Steve is one of the top lawyers in Pittsburgh. His grasp of the law, knowledge and experience are second to none. I retained Steve a couple of months ago and it’s been an absolute blessing. Steve, I can’t thank you enough. You helped save my son’s life and brought to light many things that assisted in getting the DA’s Office to drop 5 felonies!

“I would extremely recommend Steven Townsend. I was placed into a criminal matter which should never occurred. His expert cross examination elicited the correct response. The case was dismissed. Don’t hesitate to hire him for his professional, courteous, and outstanding manner and handling of your case.”

Firearms Trial
“Mr. Townsend was a very knowledgeable Attorney that helped me with my Firearms Case. I was facing potential jail time for having a loaded firearm without a Concealed Permit. The judge heard the facts of the case , and I was found not guilty. I’m a business owner , and very much involved in the community, a guilty verdict would have been devastating to me & my family. I can’t thank Mr. Townsend enough for all his help & knowledge.”

Help with a Criminal Matter
“Steve Townsend was an outstanding attorney, who saved my career after I was charged in a criminal matter. He is knowledgeable of the law. He is extremely thorough in his preparation. He was impressive during trial. He appeared confident, yet relaxed. He picked apart the prosecution, seemingly with ease, and got me acquitted of all charges.
He was a man of his word. He came up with a plan for defense, and stayed with the plan. If you have a serious legal problem, I strongly recommend Attorney Steve Townsend.”
Excellent Attorney
“After making several calls to attorneys in the Pittsburgh area without much luck, I was given Mr. Townsend’s number by a friend. The primary problem that I encountered was the combination of a hectic work schedule and living out of state limiting my travel options (most attorneys weren’t willing to represent me without my traveling to PA). Mr. Townsend handled everything expertly, promptly and courteously and I didn’t have to make a single trip to PA to have my legal issue resolved. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to friends and family.”
“Resolved my problem professionally and quickly. Definitely recommend.”

“I have been meaning to write this review for a couple months; however I keep forgetting. That is a side effect of my accident but here I am now. I absolutely cannot praise Tom Gravina and this law firm enough. Over the years I have had attornies for different needs in my life but never as fantastic as my experience with Tom and his paralegal Franci. They have worked on my behalf and at every single turn have kept me informed by email, mail and phone. It all began in June when my fiance accidently dialed the wrong number, an appointment was set up for them to come to me when I was released from the hospital. To my amazement Tom and Franci showed up, not some associate but an actual partner and his paralegal. Wow….seriously. I could tell from the first meeting that Tom truly cared about my case and me. At no time did I ever sit wondering “what is happening with my case” Every event was communicated to me immediately…simply outstanding. My case is not yet finished but I write this now because I believe people should know how outstanding this law firm is. Thank you Tom and Franci for genuinely making a major, major difference in my life!!!”

Firearms Violation Dismissed
“I was charged with falsifying an application to purchase a shotgun. I was facing a felony and a misdemeanor. My attorney, Steve Townsend, got the case dismissed and tossed out at the preliminary hearing. Thank you so much for convincing me into taking the case to a hearing rather than allowing me to plead guilty. Now I know why experience counts! I was told by several people to plead guilty because I was facing jail time if found guilty. Mr. Townsend gets results!!”

“My wife and I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for all your great work settling our auto accident case. The final agreement had exceeded our expectations. Your knowledge of the system as well as in depth medical knowledge allowed us to concentrate on regaining my wife’s health. As we learned auto insurance can be a very complicated system. It is also important to note that your associate Franci made sure we knew the status of our claim at all times. Never once did we wait more than one minute to speak to either yourself or Franci when we had a question. It is great to have a true advocate on your side that can explain things into plain language. We had that with you and Franci. In this day and age it is rare that one has someone looking out for their client. The whole process and result proved to us that you go over and above to protect your client.
In the future if I should need legal advice or assistance you will be my “go to” law firm.”
Low Speed Impact Rear-End Collision
“Steve Townsend is highly regarded in the Pittsburgh region and I am very happy to say that his professionalism and reliable understanding of the law has resulted in a complete dismissal of both a PFA and Simple Assault charge that was filed by my spouse.
Mr. Townsend was by my side throughout the entire process and was able to see right through my spouses false accusations. I highly recommend Mr. Townsend for anyone that is in a similar situation. It is very unfortunate that PFA’s are handed out like candy these days, but having an attorney like Mr. Townsend representing you is without a doubt money well spent.”

“Attorney Townsend defended me on a case four years ago in the Harrisburg area, Dauphin County. The trial lasted four days, with a verdict of not guilty. Attorney Townsend was very diligently in researching all of the evidence, and planned the defense strategic. I believe if it was not for the hard work and time that Attorney Townsend put into this case, the outcome would have been a lot different.”

“I hired Steve to represent me when someone stole my credit card numbers, he got all my money back even after the local DA refused to prosecute. I hired him later to represent an addict relative, Steve helped him get into a rehab center and 3/4 house instead of jail. Hopefully my relative will take advantage of this opportunity.”

“I was falsely accused of sexual assault and abuse. I didn’t know where to turn until I was referred to Steve. He handled my case with professionalism and with the resourced that my case demanded. Through his hard work and the assistance of his investigator, my case was dismissed prior to trial. I highly recommend Steve to anyone who has been charged with a crime. We were very pleased with Steve Townsend’s representation. This is the second time that we used him. He was successful in securing a very good agreement on both occasions. He is knowledgeable and efficient.”
