Eximious Attorney

I had the pleasure and reassurance of having attorney Gomes on my side during my divorce. It was a very stressful time for me and I immediately felt a sense of calm from the moment I walked into Theresa's office. On my first meeting with her, it was clear that she was very knowledgeable and knew the ...answer to every legal question I had. Theresa is responsive, attentive, and accessible throughout the process; she is punctual and returns phone calls and emails without delay. I highly recommend her services.

Adoption

My husband and I are forever grateful to the services Theresa provided in helping us adopt our son. What was a very stressful, scary and overwhelming process was made a lot easier with Theresa’s expertise.

Professional and patient

I hired Attorney Gomes this past March to finalize my divorce. After having another attorney handle the initial proceedings and being unhappy with the services, I decided to look elsewhere for help. Attorney Gomes was very professional and made sure I was comfortable throughout the process. The initi...al phase of the divorce, had left me feeling very uneasy. Through her extensive knowledge and years of experience, Attorney Gomes helped explain things and handled all matters seamlessly. I was nervous about hiring another attorney, but Theresa made my experience as pleasant as a divorce could possibly be. I would highly recommend her for legal services. i will be hiring her in the future to handle my will.

Posted by anonymous | July 20, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Insurance Fraud

Amazing Lawyer

I hired attorney Theresa Gomes for a case that I had against myself. I was being accused of insurance fraud, I was scared I had never been involved in any legal matter in my life, and due to my job I was afraid of having something in my record. When meeting with attorney Theresa Gomes, she explained ...the whole case to me and put me at ease. She explained the good and the bad scenarios that could happened but having no previous record was going to help my case. To make the long story short attorney Theresa Gomes worked and got my case dismissed! I am so happy about the outcome of my case, she did an amazing job communicating with me during the whole time. I would recommend Theresa Gomes in a heart beat

Motor vehicle accident

Attorney Gomes was extremely help during our time of need after my wife and daughter were involved in an automobile accident. She helped us deal with a large automobile insurance company as well as our health insurance company and almost 2 dozen different medical bills. Without her assistance I am no...t sure if the out come would have been positive if we had tried to handle all of this on our own. She is an extremely CARING knowledgeable understanding person that went above and beyond to make sure our daughter received not only the monetary needs that were needed but made sure that necessary medical treatment needed was guaranteed without any delay. We highly recommend her

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
