Biography

James Townsend is the lead family law attorney at Robinson & Henry’s Castle Rock office. For over a decade he has worked in the Colorado court system, navigating families through legal issues with compassion and integrity.

James’ career began auspiciously when as a law student he was able to work on a case that went to the Colorado Supreme Court in 2007. Co-writing the Petition for Writ of Certiorari in In re Adoption of C.A., 137 P.3d 318 (Colo. 2006), James’ pivotal role resulted in changes to the grandparent visitation law in Colorado. It is the case that still defines the standard for grandparent visitation today.

Building on this unique insight into grandparent rights and child custody law, James continued his distinguished career as a Colorado Public Defender, gaining intensive trial and litigation experience. Today, he helps families advocate for their rights both in the courtroom and through settlements.

James has lived abroad in Mexico and Brazil and is fluent in Spanish and Portuguese. He enjoys camping and hiking in Colorado’s amazing mountains.
