Got me what I earned and deserved

She was honest, did not over promise, did not under deliver. She was always available in a timely manner, provided excellent advice and followed through on every thing we discussed. She made me aware of potential pit falls as well as potential opportunity. She is my only choice for a labor attorney.

Elizabeth won’t back down and she will fight for you. She was very supportive and understanding with everything I went through. She carefully went through every aspect of my case and walked me through the best approach.

Exceptional and Effective Attorney!

Elizabeth Tommaney is the best attorney I have ever worked with. She is extremely smart, professional, thorough, and a tough negotiator. In addition, the level of empathy she displays towards her clients, just when you need it most, is remarkable. She is a wonderful and caring person as well. But make no mistake, she will rigorously fight for your rights, and not back down, getting you the best possible results that you deserve. Highly recommended...look no further!

Extremely thorough and tough

Liza helped me for over three years on my case and every step of the way she explained everything thoroughly. She made me feel confident in her abilities to handle the case and she’s a tough lady. Not once did she back down. I appreciate her help more than I can possibly say.

Separation Agreement review

Liza was professional and very responsive. It was very clear she had my best interest at heart and she was proactive in contacting my previous employer to resolve the matter. Her counsel gave me peace of mind during a difficult time.

More than a attorney

Over the course of the last 5 years i have grown a special place in my heart for all she has done for me . The reason i choose her was because she was the first attorney who didnt say what we thought we could get she said im sorry that happened to you ..... Human ......... Whether we won or lost the person is more valuable than any dollar amount one could get . ( she did win though and she kicked butt ! ) its the lil things like a card when your father passes away ..... Id never want another attorney besides her and anna

Tommaney Law tops them all

Elizabeth not only gives her profession a good name - she restored my faith in humanity. She is a consummate professional, kept me in the loop throughout negotiations with my former employer, and she succeeded in winning a better deal than I was originally offered. Throughout it all Elizabeth was warm, caring and thoughtful.

My case received personal attention

Ms. Tommaney was very thorough. I felt like my case was important to her. She involved me in all the decision making and kept me updated on the status of my case. Her team worked very hard to bring my case to a successful resolution.

Best attorney for a female!

Elizabeth Tommaney goes out of her way to fight for her clients. She is not afraid to fight for what is right for females and will stay with you through the battle. My case lasted over two years and she was there for me personally and professionally to support me. She is extremely knowledgeable and was able to help me walk away victorious from a very long case involving workplace harassment, discrimination, and retaliation. I am happy to call her a friend as well as an attorney after all we went through together.

Dedicated, tenacious, smart, determined, highly ethical

Liza is very good at what she does, and she likes to win. She successfully fought for me in an age discrimination case against my former employer. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an attorney who specializes in discrimination in employment.

Posted by RS | September 6, 2019

Highly recommended.

Perseverance, creativity, excellent research, analytical and people skills are few of Elizabeth Tommaney’s qualities. She is a good listener, orally articulate with good communication skills. Her technique involves absorbing large quantities of information, then having to distill it into something manageable and logical, using her ability to draw reasonable, logical conclusions or assumptions from the information provided. If you need an attorney understanding the client needs, and to prepare efficient legal strategies, from my personal experience Elizabeth Tommaney is your best choice for an attorney.

Very good at what she does.

I was hoping I had a case from a ole Employed, she took the time to hear my side, and after the consultant she told me she would take my case. She did everything from there, she keep me informed every step of the way, never once did I have to wonder at what stage we were at. Because of her I received a settlement that I never would have. Thank You. She is friendly, and very professional.
