Practice Areas

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.

Debt collection case

Emily represented me in a debt collection case. She charged a flat rate. Others wanted to charge based on the amount of debt I was being sued for. She steered me away from filing for bankruptcy. Others were trying to sell me on bankruptcy. So glad that I hired Emily! Easy to talk to, very straight fo...rward and honest. She took the time to explain all options to me, along with all the possibilities. I would definitely hire Emily again. ( hopefully I won't have to)

Tremendous Consumer Advocate

Emily handled my case involving the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. She was very knowledgeable of the laws regarding my case. I was impressed with the fact that she always kept me informed of what was going on and was always available to talk to. She handled the case in a timely manner and I wa...s very satisfied with the outcome. I would wholeheartedly recommended Emily to anyone looking for an extremely knowledgeable and personable consumer rights attorney.

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 .

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.
