I hired Ms. Gomez in May of 2012 to help me regain custody of my children. Ms. Gomez was, at all times,professional, eloquent, and supportive. I could not have been happier with the outcome or with the quality of work and effort that Ms. Gomez accomplished on my behalf. I truly appreciate everything that she did for me and my children.

I hired Ms. Gomez to help me with a deposition. Ms. Gomez was very professional and efficient and helped guide me through the process on what to expect. From your first conversation with Ms. Gomez, you immediately become aware of her passion, integrity and commitment for her work. Correspondence was answered in a timely manner and questions were answered expeditiously. Ms. Gomez was always courteous and attentive, making me feel that my case was the only one being handled by the firm, when in reality I was likely one of dozens of clients. Thank you for your knowledge, guidance and kindness.
