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!

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.

Strongly Recommend

I've worked in the legal field for several years and this is one of the best for employment law. She handled both my case and my husband's one year back. Both were settled quickly and she was a strong advocate plus very responsive.

Posted by Kim | April 24, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Termination

Terminated employee

We met with Liza and she was upfront and honest. no guarantees with my termination. We discussed the options if we did not get a positive response from my ex employer. Our decision was to hire Liza she was prompt in her follow up. Sometimes in an email and other times with a phone call. She... did get me some extra severance which I was grateful for. it is a tough thing to be terminated without good reason. she helped ease that financial tension. give her a call for a consultation. what do you have to lose. thank you Liza

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.
