Exceptional

Working with Liza was the best choice that I could've made. Liza's experience with Employment and Labor law is second to none, and it showed in the final results that were delivered. Liza was my biggest advocate, and kept me in the loop to what was happening at every step throughout the legal proce...ss. Liza's experience working on both sides of the courtroom allow her a unique outlook on your specific case, and ultimately allow her build a strategy to get you the best results possible. I could not recommend a better Lawyer, or experience to work with.

Posted by anonymous | August 07, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Termination

Professional and thorough

I consulted with and ultimately hired Ms. Tommaney last year to defend me in a very complex wrongful termination case with multiple avenues in which we are pursuing justice. This case is still on going. Ms. Tommaney has been attentive, thorough, professional and very helpful to me. I am truly happy t...hat I hired her as she continues to work relentlessly so that successful outcomes will be attained in the end.

Separation agreement renegotiation

I was downsized by my company and received a severance package that, in my opinion, was inadequate. I retained Elizabeth to renegotiate a settlement with my former employer. Throughout the process, she provided me with excellent advice based on her experience on both sides of such cases. In the en...d, she negotiated a new agreement that was much more equitable and met my goals. Highly recommended.

Great lawyer and wonderful person.

Elizabeth Tommaney represented me in an unemployment appeal case. Her communication and knowledge is excellent. Elizabeth also showed sincere concern for my well-being. Thank you for everything you have done.

Incisive and Resourceful

Ms. Tommaney conducted an incisive analysis and suggested significant key revisions to our contracts. She was easy to work with, is a great listener and provided great insights into the mission of our organization. I would highly recommend her.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
