An exceptional person
Have had Ms. Tomich prepare our Trusts since 2004 and am pleased with the results. We just had our Trust revised in June, 2016 for some changes in our life. If you know what you want to do, she will see that your wishes are carried out. If there is something that you would like to do, she will explain to you the pro and cons of doing so and advise you accordingly. She is one of the best and nice to work with.

A must have professional for asset protect!
Geri was the best. I have been a client of hers for over 8 years. She guided my wife and I through a very complex asset protection plan . Was very professional, understanding, informative, and thorough. Her advice and meticulous attention to detail proved priceless when unexpected litigation came our way. I can not speak highly enough of Geri. I can say "I know I'm glad she's my attorney".

100% Trustworthy, Professional and Knowledgeable
I have been working with Geri for almost three years. Geri is tops. She gets the job done! I have enlisted Geri for personal and professional services and she is excellent in both areas. She is thorough; explains things clearly to me; is patient; efficient; personable and caring yet businesslike in every sense. If she is not the appropriate attorney to handle something, she refers me to the best person in their firm who can help. I trust Geri 100% with many important matters and will continue to work with her.

A first-rate estate planning attorney!
My wife and I retained Geri to put together our estate plan. She was not only knowledgeable and professional, but also patient and understanding throughout the whole process. Some lawyers are really good with the technical aspects of the law. Some are really good with clients. Geri is great with both! She has become our trusted advisor and we simply couldn't be more thrilled with her work on our behalf!

Geraldine Tomich
Geraldine Tomich is reliable, detail oriented, concise, and to the point. She tells her clients what is happening and keeps them informed. She is willing to listen to what you, the client, has to say and answers emails promptly. She is competent, and aggressive, but not a bulldog, and I was extremely thankful with the outcome that she handled for me.
