She is the only attorney I would ever use. Joe Always see's the brighter side of things. But no buts lets get on with it she makes the solution seem so simple, why couldn't I think of that? She has the ability to look outside the box. You will always be my lawyer and most importantly my friend. You are always professional, logical and get to the root of the problem. I wish more attorneys were like you. I look forward to many more years with you as my attorney. Thank you for everything.

Our Mom had Cancer, my brothers weren't getting along at all. We had issues lets leave it at that. We as a family voted in Joe's presents and came to a solution. 3 to 1 vote and our lives got better thanks to Joe's mediation skills. Student loans, child support,estate planning you name it ,we tested Joe in every way possible way, and guess what, she passed with flying colors. Thats my Joe, Thank You for the beautiful flowers with the butterflies you sent to me when I had stage 3 cancer. You will always hold a special place in my heart. Don't let 1 bad apple ever change you. It's caring and loving people like you that I'm still alive today. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

It's easy to be a bully, especially when you can do it anonymously and the attorney can't fully respond because of a little thing called attorney-client privilege. That said one negative review in over 12 years of practice isn't bad. As for me and my family, our vote is for Joe. Over the years she has represented my family in many matters and we have always been vary grateful for her efforts. Jo is a highly credentialed attorney who is passionate about the practice of law and those she represents. I have recommended Jo to my associates,friends and of course my family and will continue to do so.

She has been my attorney for more years than I can recall, she represented my elderly mother as well. I have always looked to Johanna's sound advice whenever I have a legal question and she never disappoints me; quite the opposite, I have always found Johanna's advice intelligent and thoughtful. Further, I have always found Johanna to be extremely professional and helpful, she returns my phone calls and emails in a timely manner and she is very punctual about meeting deadlines. It's good to know I have an attorney who cares about me and my family, in the best of times and the worst of times.

I highly recommend contacting Johanna Gomez to be your lawyer. .Several years ago upon the death of my in-laws, we inherited the conservatorship, including a special needs trust, of my brother-in-law. The conservatorship had never been required to file an accounting with the court in 20 years, but suddenly , they demanded reporting 10 years in arrears! It was a frightening, confusing and costly requirement. When Johanna took over our case, she guided us through the process, reassuring us, answering questions, and minimizing expenses. We felt safe, relieved and confident in her hands. Since then, Johanna has handled many other questions regarding our own estate and future planning quickly and efficiently. I value her advice and performance immensely.

Johanna has represented my husband and me for about 12 years. She drafted our estate documents and assisted us with several complex estate issues dealing with international law. Johanna also represented the majority of the seniors in our mobile home park some years back when the roof fell in on the clubhouse and the management refused to make the repairs for over five years. Through Johanna’s efforts, the residents of the park received a settlement that was valued in the neighborhood of $250,000 but Johanna did not charge us a dime: the entire case was handled on a pro bono basis. Johanna has also held free legal clinics in our park. Her dedication to seniors and to her profession is unparalleled.And we are proud to have her as a friend.

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, conservatorships, 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.

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.

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 personal 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.
