Amazing

Liza is an amazing and dedicated attorney. She was very upfront and forward with me in all aspects of my case. She always stayed in contact and got back to me immediately when I reached out to her. Her hard work and dedication won me my case.

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.

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

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.

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.
