Tanya Gomerman, Attorney at Law

I just tried to get a consultation from from this law firm and I was connected to their senior paralegal. She was the most rude and disrespectful person I have had to deal with in a long time. I eventually just had to hang up on her. Go somewhere else if you would like to be treated like a human being.

I contacted this law firm due to favorable reviews but I never received a reply to my email requesting a meeting to evaluate our case.
Update 10÷7÷15
Atty. Tanya replied to my email and she was so accommodating. Her office does not handle the case we have. But she still provided helpful information.

People say you need a good doctor, lawyer, and mechanic. Look no further – this is as good as it gets.
A year ago, I sought the help of Tanya regarding a wage and labor (plus wrongful termination) dispute against an independently owned small-​business. I knew even before I picked up the phone that this was not going to be a fun venture for any lawyer who was willing to take the case. It was my first involvement in a legal battle and strangely enough, I turned to Unilocal to look for representation in the San Francisco Bay Area.
I’ll keep it honest – Tanya was not the only lawyer I called from my search results. She was however, the only one that called back personally out of the ten or so firms/​attorneys I had reached out to. From my experience, I’d say how a lawyer chooses to give their consult speaks volumes to their character. My first phone call simply felt like talking to a friend or colleague (albeit, MUCH more knowledgeable) – someone to hear me out and let me tell my story. Not once did she try to get me to enter her office beforehand or imply any sort of consultation fee (she doesn’t have one) before we even started talking. Although, in hindsight, I guess that was rather strange.
Why, might you ask?
Because Tanya is an absolute brutal negotiator on behalf of her clients and I was certainly no exception to her incredible negotiating skills. Level headed, calm, and wise – it was like watching a seasoned chess player.
Aside from the extremely satisfactory conclusion to my case, I can honestly say that in the year long span it took to complete, Tanya was wonderful to work with. She was there to answer any questions throughout the process and has this charming personality that really lets you know that you’re in good hands. Any professional can be nice, kind and caring in their practice. I wanted someone who not only possessed those traits but could also be pragmatic, confident, and strategic on my behalf.
¹⁰⁄₁₀ stars for Tanya Gomerman.

Thank you for getting back tome at your busy time. I appreciate your response.

SEE UPDATE BELOW: Good luck trying to get her to call you back. Based on her high ratings, I called almost a week ago to discuss the possibility of working with her on a wrongful termination case and she never even called me back.
UPDATE: She DID call me back but had the wrong number. She said her admin must have taken it down wrong. She was extremely sorry about the mix-​up and offered to read my severance letter for free. Unfortunately, I had already resolved this issue so I didn’t need her services any longer, but it was nice of her to offer just the same, as well as to clear up the misunderstanding about the call-​back. So she gets 4 stars because she called me back but not 5 stars because I didn’t really work with her. (But I think she would be as the other reviewers put it, a 5-​star based on my conversation with her.)

I would give her 6 stars if it was possible!
Tanya has been clear and upfront with me throughout my auto claim case.
She is very easy to talk to and very personable as well.
MY PROBLEM
I had an auto claim injury case and decided to find a lawyer to help me negotiate the best settlement — one that was fair and justified.
HER WORK
Needless to say, Tanya explained to me what my options were and what I can expect to accomplish. In addition, she gave me advices other things related to the case (but not directly involved with the case) without extra charge. I appreciated that.
RESULT
At the end, after a few weeks of evidence gathering, Tanya was able to negotiate and settle the case for more than $ 6k which is more than what I originally expected.
DO I RECOMMEND?
Yes! I think I will be coming back to Tanya should I have any other Legal issues.
I highly recommend her service

I like Tanya. I hired her a couple years ago, and for our initial meetings she actually drove to meet me at my house as I was on bed-​rest and unable to drive. Very accommodating and kind.
She did not end up doing much with my case (actually she dropped it at one point, for reasons I won’t get into here — which was a bit disappointing) but she continued to provide advice on related legal issues and was always very nice and honest.
I’d refer her to friends/​colleagues in need of a good employment attorney.

Tanya is a truly excellent attorney — ethical, hardworking, capable, and very willing to represent individual clients who are opposing large corporations, with plenty of lawyers and the money to pay them.
My wife was in a hit and run automobile accident. When this happens, the insurance company that has gladly accepted your premiums can become your worst nightmare. Our firm was the one owned by a very wealthy man in Omaha, with a love for cute lizards with foreign accents. Based on how they treat their clients, they should trade in the gecko for a snake.
When you are in this kind of situation and have to collect from your own insurance company, the odds are stacked against you. You cannot demand a trial, and let a jury weigh in on a fair settlement. Instead, you need to negotiate with them, and in this case, they tried hard to low ball us.
Thanks to Tanya, they did not get away with it. She handled everything extremely effectively, and the results for us were fabulous. All our legal (and medical) expenses were covered in the settlement, and true to her word, she would not take more than she gave to us, although given how hard she worked, I think she deserved much more. The least we could do for her, is to refer more clients.
If you find yourself in need of an attorney for a personal injury or employment law case, I urge you to talk to Tanya, and consider asking her to represent you. I think you will be delighted.

Tanya Gomerman is a very sharp, calm, strategic thinker with a very approachable, down to earth manner. During my case, she listened extremely well; she educated me regarding all possibilities within the parameters of the law, communicated expertly with opposing counsel, and negotiated fairly with med providers.
I asked Tanya endless questions when I was not clear on legal proceedings. She showed me the patience to push through until I fully understood how the legal structure worked as it pertained to my case. Because of this, I was able to make clear, informed decisions when the time came. She was there at my side throughout, and I was able to depend upon her to defend my best interests at all times.
I would call upon Tanya again in a heartbeat, and I recommend her very highly.
Thank you Tanya for your intelligent, protective manner and your hard work.

Tanya did a great job. The communication was there and she got more for me then I thoughthough it was fast and she really showed she cared about the issue I was going through. I definitely recommend her.
Thanks tanya

Tanya handled a personal injury case for us where our son was hurt in a store. She was professional and we reached a fair settlement with the company quickly and without drama.
We hope to never need a lawyers services again but if we do we have Tanya on speed dial.

I’m happy that I found Tanya last year through Unilocal.The personal injury case I was involved in wasn’t a major case but it took a long time. It took a long time because of my previous employer and Kaiser P’s disorganization. Tanya stayed on top of it. The communication was always there and Tanya was always responded promptly when I reached out to her. I didn’t feel pressured into doing anything I wasn’t comfortable doing.
I would definitely recommend Tanya if you’re looking for counsel.

Just spoke to Tanya relating to a very complicated job related issue. I feel releived after talking to her. She has a trusting quality to her. I will definitley consider working with her in the future if needed.
I have spoken to several attorneys including my brother who is an attorney and she stands out.
She is honest straight forward and practical with integrity. If you are looking for help in her area of expertise I recommend you give her a call.

I found Tanya through Unilocal when I needed a lawyer to review a consulting contract that I was close to signing. She was responsive, professional, accommodating and easy to work with. She communicates clearly and in a way that was easy for me as a non-​lawyer to understand — exactly what’s required when you’re looking for help evaluating a contract. We worked entirely over the phone and by email, which was perfect for me because I was out of town at the time, and would not be in town prior to signing the contract. I’ll definitely use Tanya again with for other contracting related legal questions.

I needed someone to look at my employment contract and quickly. Tanya was quick and very responsive, she gave me an evening appointment and reviewed all my documents before the meeting. She was very professional and gave me very sound advice which helped me deal firmly with my employer.
I would highly recommend Tanya

Tanya was a pleasure to work with. I went into this case not expecting to gain anything other than the pleasure of fighting for something I thought was right. Ironically I chose Tanya through Unilocal since I had no other resource to find an attorney that specialized in my specific case.
After my first meeting with Tanya, she immediately gained my trust. She listens very well, she takes everything into consideration, and she gave me valuable expert advice to help win my case. She made sure everything was crystal clear before any decision was made. I could tell Tanya put in hard work into my case and you can expect the same if you choose to go with her.
I highly recommend Tanya Gomerman for all of your legal needs. If you’re reading this, thank you very much!

Tanya gave me good solid advice for a legal issue I am dealing with. I know who I would turn to if this matter is escalated.

Gave me very good advice on business law. I am better informed now. My impression of her is that she really cares about people.

I had to do a cease and desist letter and I needed someone I trusted who would do the work even though it was a sensitive matter. From previous dealings Tanya was someone I was more than confident trusting. She had moved from Irvine up to the Bay Area and even through a few g-​mails I had great client conversation, and my matter was resolved in lightning speed.
I left a review I previously did but because of her move, my review is now here:
I wouldn’t hesitate to use her for any area up North as my issue was in Los Angeles.

I have a very close and dear friend who was recently unreasonably terminated at her job and I felt so bad for her that I had gone out to San Jose and see what I could do for her. We checked out a few employment lawyers and attorneys and decided to go with Tanya Gomerman. I was very happy with how Tanya was able to represent my friend and help get her job back. Making the decision to go out and get Tanya to represent my friend was well worth the money and anyone who gets fired unfairly will be smart to take advantage of this employment lawyer.
