Wonderful Experience!

After a positive and informative consultation, we hired Elizabeth who was professional, compassionate and very thorough. She walked us through the process while being compassionate and caring. Should you need legal services, we would highly recommend hiring Elizabeth!

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 war...m, caring and thoughtful.

Amazing Lawyer! Truly gifted and hard working.

Elizabeth Tommaney is an extraordinary lawyer. She walked me through a process that was extremely difficult and traumatic. She was knowledgeable and helped me to understand every step of the legal or process. She was supportive of my emotional and psychological distress and she treated me and my fami...ly with the utmost respect and kindness. She was honest and genuine; I always knew what was going on in the case and she answered my questions clearly and swiftly. I trust Elizabeth unconditionally. She is assertive and I always knew that she was working on my behalf. I trusted that, if we went to trial that she would fight and was willing to fight on my behalf. Elizabeth was also very responsive to my calls and concerns and acted very swiftly in my best interest. She is extremely intelligent, experienced and well versed in the he law. I could not have persevered process if it was not for Elizabeth. She is truly amazing at what she does. I am lucky to have found such a fine lawyer.
