Integrity, trust, and family

I recently went through a divorce, the hardest thing I guess part of adulting as that wasn't the picture I had when I got married. It happens, I was so fortunate through looking for someone to be a resource that I can offer to my clients for I'm an agent for New York Life. Attorney Theresa Gomes was ...the person that I know that I can trust with my clients, friends, and family. I am so grateful to how she was professional and caring throughout my divorce. Highly recommend her to anyone who can use her legal guidance.

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.

So easy to work with

Theresa was knowledgeable, efficient and accurate in all issues associated with my divorce. I am so glad that I had her there to help me through the process, so much so that I barely had to give a thought to the details beyond providing my information to her.

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.
