Consumer Protection 50%

I litigate disputes exclusively on behalf of consumers whose rights have been violated. So if you've been harassed by a debt collector, turned away by a credit bureau after informing them there's an error on your report, sold a defective product and refused a refund, or sued for some old credit card debt, I may be able to help you. Call today to find out how.

50%
Debt Collection 25%

Sued for old credit card or student loan debt by a company you've never heard of? If so, your original creditor is out of the picture and you're dealing with a debt buyer. In such situations, state and federal law gives you a number of rights. Depending on the situation, you might never have to pay the old debt! Call my office today to learn more.

25%
Foreclosure 15%

Have you fallen behind on your mortgage payments? Has your lender sued to take your house? Contact my office today to learn your options. In Pennsylvania, homeowners have a number of rights that most people are unaware of, and most mortgage companies overlook. Depending on what your lender has sued for, you might actually be able to sue your lender.

15%
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy 5%

Looking for a fresh start? Chapter 7 takes your debts and wipes them out, with the entire process taking about 3 months. Call our office today to see if it's a step that makes sense for you.

5%
Identity Theft 5%

Has your identity been stolen? Is someone else using your name and credit to rack up huge debts? If so, there are certain steps you should be taking to minimize the fallout and recover your good name. Call our office today to learn more.

Returned call

Emily was knowledgeable and gave me good advice on what I should do regarding my situation. She looked up court docket info so she was prepared when we spoke. She also had a good personality.

Debit Collection

Ms. Gomez wrote to us when she saw that we were being sued by a bank for a student loan. She found many inconsistency in the lending institution and proceeded with legal action which resulted in our favor. Her professionalism and compassion is beyond reproach. She presented us with a plan and kept us... engaged at all times. I would highly recommend her

student loan case

Emily Gomez was very helpful, professional, she handled my case and won it without my presence in court. She is very attentive and understanding. She communicates with her clients on timely manner. It was such a pleasure working with her

Highly recommend her

Emily helped me with a case, she was easy and comfortable to talk to. She understood my problem, she was sympathetic and professional. She explained to me all the legal matters that I did not understand and gave me feedback frequently. She gave me possible outcomes and reassured me all the way. The c...ase resolved quickly and at the end of it all she won the case. Her payments were also reasonable and worth every penny !! I would highly recommend her!

Worth every penny!

Emily S. Gomez, Esq. represented us in a Civil Suit by a debt collector. We are not exactly sure how we selected her, but we are glad we did. Ms. Gomez promised to refund her fee if she did not win our case. The case was "dismissed with prejudice," which means it is gone for good. Ms. Gomez was very ...courteous and professional as well as sympathetic to our situation. We wholeheartedly recommend her legal services .
