Diligent and Thoughtful

I cannot imagine a more untrue or unfair review, as the one left on February 11th. Johanna has been my attorney for many years. In that time I have only known Johanna to be a diligent, thoughtful, and responsive attorney. Johanna practices in the areas of estate planning, estate litigation, conservat...orships, and elder abuse. Johanna has a reputation in the community for being thoroughly committed to her clients. Further, Johanna is known as an attorney who greatly serves the elderly community: she serves as court-appointed counsel on the conservatorship panel for the Marin County Superior Court; she is an attorney volunteer for Legal Aid of Marin; and she is adjunct professor at Golden Gate School of Law in San Francisco, where she teaches a class on financial abuse of the elderly. Johanna is also one of the most highly educated attorneys that I have ever met. Johanna has three law degrees: Juris Doctorate (JD), a Master of Law (LLM) in taxation, and a Doctor of Juridical Science (S.J.D.) I have referred many friends to Johanna and we have all been exceptionally pleased with her work.

The Best of the Best

Johanna has helped me for several years now in setting up my living trust as well as other personal matters. She is quick, responsive and at a very reasonable, competitive rate. I TRUST HER WITH MY LIFE. I have recommended her services to family, friends, co-workers and all have been helped by Joha...nna. My mother loves her. We all are extremely pleased with her and we continue passing the good word along to others. Look her up, you will not regret it.

Incredible Woman & Lawyer of Character

With the advent of the internet, it is always so disheartening to see people hide behind the protection of anonymity when writing reviews. I have had the pleasure of knowing Johanna Gomez professionally and personally for over 10 years. She has provided legal counsel to my business as well as perso...nal work for my parents and myself to create and maintain our personal trusts. Always professional, responsive and compassionate. Her character is without reproach. If you ever get the opportunity to work with Johanna, consider yourself fortunate.

Trustworthy and Very Effective

Johanna has represented me and my family in estate planning, estate administration, and senior issues for the last 10 years. Johanna has always been extremely attentive to us. Like any good attorney, Johanna’s time is highly sought after; therefore, in when I call I know that she will probably not be... immediately available. However, Johanna always gets back to me within 24 hours if not sooner. Further, when I have had emergency circumstances Johanna’s staff has contacted Johanna on her cell phone and she returned my call immediately. In addition, Johanna has always made herself available for home visits and she has always been willing to meet with us in the evenings or weekends to accommodate our schedules. In addition, Johanna has always been very generous with her billing and she has never charged us for the expenses that most attorney’s charge for like postage, express delivery charges, photocopying, or on-line research. I am very happy that I have Johanna to represent me.
