Liza is the Attorney you Want in Your Corner

Finding the right attorney is not easy, but from the very beginning, Liza made me feel like I was in the best hands. She didn’t just take my case—she took the time to truly understand it, asking the right questions, getting every detail, and making sure I always knew what was happening. She is sharp,... professional, and incredibly organized, and I never once had to wonder if something was being overlooked. More than anything, Liza genuinely cares. She was patient, thoughtful, and always available when I needed clarity or reassurance. She made an overwhelming process feel manageable and never let me feel like I was going through it alone. Her communication was excellent, and she always made sure I understood my options so I could make the best decisions. I can't fully express how much I appreciate the time, energy, and heart she put into my case. She made a difficult situation easier, giving me confidence and peace of mind when I needed it most. If you need an attorney who is smart, thorough, and truly invested in fighting for you, Liza is the one. I can't recommend her enough.

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.

Exceptional and Effective Attorney!

Elizabeth Tommaney is the best attorney I have ever worked with. She is extremely smart, professional, thorough, and a tough negotiator. In addition, the level of empathy she displays towards her clients, just when you need it most, is remarkable. She is a wonderful and caring person as well. But mak...e no mistake, she will rigorously fight for your rights, and not back down, getting you the best possible results that you deserve. Highly recommended...look no further!

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.
