Excellent Lawyer

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.

Posted by RS | September 06, 2019 | Hired Attorney

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 m...anageable 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.

Awesome, professional, personable Lawyer.

Finding a good lawyer is difficult, but I was fortunate to have found Elizabeth M. Tommaney who stands apart from the rest. Ms. Tommaney has continuously demonstrated professionalism, expertise, timeliness, and a sincere interest in my situation. I was impressed with her attention to detail, the ti...me she took to understand all the details, and the research she conducted on my behalf. These qualities ensured us to be successful right to the victorious end. I am very privileged to have had Elizabeth in my corner, a definite asset in assisting me with the final negotiations and settlement. Elizabeth Tommaney is efficient, responsive and an absolute pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend her. Thank you, Liza, for helping me seek justice, you went above and beyond all my legal expectations.

Ms. Tommaney was a good listener, remembered everything and returned my calls promptly; she was knowledgeable and prepared and negotiated my severance package with a positive outcome. She is a pleasure to work and I highly recommended her.

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.
