Salma, the 'intake paralegal' is kind, caring and compassionate. I had a scare and 2 other firms dismissed me quickly. Salma texted me links, reviewed them with me, answered all my questions and encouraged me to call back with any new information. I was never transferred to an attorney, but my questions were answered. I give 5 stars read more

I wanted to negotiate my severance package with my company under tough immigration deadlines. Salma was prompt, she cared and she helped a lot. I appreciate the work they did. Although she didn't schedule with me, she connected me with someone she trusts and didn't charge me a thing. read more

I would give highest rating as Salma was very responsive and willing to help me to connect with right professionals

The paralegal that answered my call asked extensive and insightful questions about my employment issue. They gave me several options and followed up with an email with advice and links. Everything seems to have settled down with my situation and I'm thankful for the (free) time, options and guidance. I was nervous about calling a legal office at first, but it really felt like I was chatting with a friend. I won't hesitate to call again! read more

I can't recommend Salma highly enough. I came to this firm during an incredibly stressful time after being wrongfully terminated, and from the consultation I felt heard, respected, and taken seriously. She took the time to thoroughly review my situation, asked smart and thoughtful questions, and clearly explained my rights and options in a way that was easy to understand. What stood out most was their honesty and professionalism and clear, strategic assessment of my case and next steps. Their guidance gave me clarity and confidence during a moment when everything felt uncertain. If you're dealing with a wrongful termination or employment issue and want someone knowledgeable, compassionate, and straightforward in your corner, this is the team to call. read more

I have to say Im blessed to reach out to the law firm Gomerman | Bourn & Associates and spoke with Salma, she is amazing I was heard. Please dont hesitate to reach out to Gomerman | Bourn & Associates they will help you based on your needs. Its definitely a 10 star law firm! read more

Very professional and caring individual Salma. Despite the fact that they have heavy load whereby they could not take my case she effortlessly contacted lawyers on my behalf.It was a very nice experience to demonstrate level of care especially when they are busy.Experience not to be forgotten if they went to lengths to help. read more

I had a consultation with Salma, and even though I ultimately didn't move forward with a case, I felt compelled to write a review because of how genuinely impressed I was. She took the time to listen carefully during our initial (free) consultation, asked smart questions, and gave me an honest, clear-eyed assessment -- including the difficult news that I likely didn't have a strong case. Instead of trying to sign me on and bill me for unnecessary hours, she was direct, kind, and full of integrity. If I ever do need legal representation in the future, she'll be my first call. Highly recommend. read more

I was in a fender bender and called this firm to figure out how to navigate it all. I talked to Salma who made sure everyone was ok first, then gave me very clear instructions on what to do... and what not to do. i'm really glad i called and she answered, it was completely free and she never tried to pressure me to hire them. she genuinely cared! she took time to explain the process to me and even told me that hiring a attorney wouldn't get me a bigger settlement. it was informative and refreshingly honest conversation. read more

I'd originally reached out through Yelp and scheduled a consultation call with Salma. We spoke on the phone for 20 minutes as well as exchanged texts afterwards. She was so so compassionate, sympathetic, kind, and overall just caring. Even though the firm referred me somewhere else instead, I'm giving 5 stars just for Salma. I felt like she really was listening to me and cared about what I had to say and empathized with my situation overall. Lowkey it felt like you're talking to a very gentle therapist or something. Even after the referral, she still kept in touch with me when I texted her with follow up questions afterwards. read more

I cannot say enough positive things about my experience working with Gomerman Bourn & Associates. I had the great pleasure of getting to work with Ashley Pellechoud. Ashley is an outstanding professional who has championed for me from the very beginning. When I first reached out to Gomerman Bourn & Associates, I was at one of the lowest points in my life. From my very first in-take call, I was pleasantly greeted by Salma who listened to my story and asked me very thoughtful questions about the situation. I immediately felt support and empathy from the very first phone call. Tanya Gomerman then joined our phone call and those feelings were solidified even further. Gomerman Bourn & Associates was not the only law firm that I contacted regarding my case, but was the only firm that truly made me feel seen, heard, taken seriously, and supported from the very beginning. It was no question that I wanted to work with them. Tanya and Salma then connected me with my incredible attorney Ashley who would be the primary person to work with me on my case. From the beginning, Ashley immediately made me supported and reassured time and time again. Ashley is an incredible lawyer and person. I seriously cannot express the shear gratitude I have for them. Ashley demonstrated an unparalleled level of professionalism and commitment to my case. They were always available to address any concerns or questions that I had, providing clear and concise explanations every step of the way. Ashley is sincere, incredibly kind, intelligent, strong-willed and always looked out for my best interest. The advice and unwavering support they've given me has just been unmatched. Ashley meticulously analyzed every facet of my case, leveraging focus groups and collaborating with fellow attorneys to ensure it received the meticulous care and dedication it deserved. Thanks to Ashley's expertise, I received an extraordinary settlement for my case, exceeding all my expectations. Their dedication, along with the entire team's efforts, has truly changed my life for the better. I'm so immensely grateful for their impact, and words can't express my appreciation enough. Do not hesitate to give Gomerman Bourn & Associates a call. You will be in the best hands imaginable! read more

Truly wonderful. We were in a car accident in July. We were very banged up and severely bruised and my husband had a severe broken sternum. Without too much detail we were not at fault for the accident. So I googled injury attorneys and Gomerman Bourn & Associates was one of the first recommendations. I contacted their firm and spoke to easily the nicest lady I have ever encountered. She was so compassionate and gentle when we were telling her what happened. She got us in touch with Alex (our attorney) and his paralegal Jessica. Absolutely outstanding individuals. They make working with them effortless so you're able to focus on healing and your family and life that never pauses even when tragedy strikes. They have laid everything out step by step and walked us through it all. Never once treating us as "just a client". Thank you Alex and Jessica. 10/10 I highly recommend. read more

Very personal, compassionate and understanding. I spoke with Salma, Tonya's paralegal. She gave me information about workplace issues and I found it very helpful! read more

Salma was SO helpful! Lots of great advice, and walked me through the process despite not being able to formally help. Amazing service!

I reached out for help late on a weekend, and Gomerman Bourn Firm responded almost immediately. I was in a panic and of course if you're calling a law firm things are not ok. Salma promised to call me first thing Monday and she actually did. She gave me several options and things worked out. I don't know if she's a legal assistant or a therapist - maybe both. If you need guidance call and ask for Salma. She is the best! read more

I can't thank Salma at Gomerman Bourn & Associates enough for her incredible support and guidance she pointed me in the right direction and provided me with an Attorney who indeed took on my case like she mentioned in our first conversation. Salma is awesome,the service she provided me was stellar,she gave me confidence and really engaged in hearing my complaint as am battling Throat Cancer she was like a breathe of fresh air during a very difficult time in my life, she removed ALL concerns,worries, and stress when it came to securing an Attorney that fits like a glove in regards to my case. I didn't have to call 50 Attorneys and leave 50 voicemails.Gomerman, Bourn& Associates is the best thing since toothpaste, especially Salma who went above and beyond to understand my situation and provided me with the best Attorney with the best interests with unwavering dedication. Salma is always available to answer my questions, explained complex legal matters clearly, and treated me with genuine compassion in our initial meeting via phone I felt truly heard and valued, and the positive outcome of my case will be a testament to their expertise and hard work for someone they have never met until consultation via phone. I would wholeheartedly recommend Gomerman Bourn & Associates to anyone seeking legal representation they can show you better than I can tell you! And for you to even consider overlooking this law firm you lost your case already.....if you know you know.....Thank me later read more

We retained Tanya and Isabelle for a car accident and they have been nothing but supportive, proactive, and wonderful. A lawsuit is an incredibly stressful situation to be in and they handled ours with such grace and poise - the two of them are both fantastic. They are candid in telling you what is realistic or not and really fight for you in the courtroom. I've never felt as supported as I did working with them. We initially went with a different law firm and they were no bueno - the lawyer was basically a used car salesman (you can message me if you want to know who). We fired them and went with Tanya's firm instead, and we are so grateful that we did. Even though the outcome wasn't what we wanted, it was clear Tanya and Isabelle pushed and fought for us hard. Not every lawyer is going to do that and I say that from experience. They are humans first and lawyers second, which I believe what makes them so good at their jobs. If you're looking for a PI lawyer don't look any further. This firm is professional, articulate, honest, and most importantly, they're kind and they will fight for you. Thank you both so much. read more

Maria Bourn was a god send to me on my employment case that had dragged on for some time. She came highly recommended by my attorney who had been helping me with the law suit. Things became quite challenging in the case and we needed a good trial lawyer to help us navigate. Maria was impressive in her clever and thoughtful approach to taking depositions as well as guiding me through the lawsuit process and worked so well with my attorney, I knew I had the right team and never needed to question the approach taken. Needless to say, my case was settled to my great satisfaction! Thanks Maria and team for helping me! read more

I asked for a consult on a Saturday and got a quick call back! On a Saturday. Turns out I didn't really need an attorney, but Salma took time to explain things to me and I know who to call if things change! Highly recommend :) read more

I called and was transferred to Salma. No robots, no length paperwork and no waiting time. I spoke to a real person. She is a paralegal but was very helpful. I strongly recommend this service. read more

The team members at this office are not only knowledgeable professionals but also compassionate individuals who genuinely care about their clients' well-being. I would like to extend a special thanks to the paralegal (Salma) who assisted me throughout my case. AM read more

I cannot say enough about Tanya Gomerman and her firm. Smart, responsive and very caring about her clients are just 3 adjectives I would use. She's very efficient in disseminating legal information and helping clients make decisions that are in their best interest. I give her my highest rating. read more

Referred here by a lawyer friend. I was on the phone and discussing my case within an hr. Really liked the way the staff answered all of my questions. Great firm read more

I did not have the opportunity to work with this law office, but I wanted to praise the professionalism and quick response from Salma. I have never needed an employment attorney, and Salma's guidance was a blessing. Although her office did not handle my specific case, she was able immediately redirect me to another office. Thank you for being there in my hour of need. read more

Fantastic experience with Gomerman Bourn & Associates. Our daughter was attacked by a dog and we hired GBA. Everyone we interacted with at the firm throughout this whole process made us feel at ease. The insurance company on the other side tried to push but GBA pushed right back even harder every time. Our daughter even told us she wants to be an attorney like the attorneys at GBA so she can help kids who are attacked by dogs. Sniffle. I hope we do not need any attorneys in the future but we will immediately hire GBA if we do. Amazing people at this firm. read more

Very helpful and patient attorney. She listened to my concerns and gave me the best advice. Thank you!

I contacted this attorney in February and to his date have not received a response. Other attorneys responded , even ones that responded two Months later apologized for the late reply but at least made contact. I guess it's good that I did not get in contact. I would hate to see the response time on my case read more

I am a young male who recently graduated from college with no knowledge of law whatsoever. Something terrible happen to me and I'm so thankful and grateful that Maria listened to my suffering and fought for me. She guided me through every step on my case and never stop supporting me until I got the disclosure I deserve. If you are here checking the reviews to fight for your struggle, I can assure you that this is the best law office in the Bay Area. This is a team of extraordinary individuals who are now my friends and I can count on them for anything. Maria and Tanya are amazing attorneys who will look out for you and your best interests. They always made sure I was content. They don't care about money at all. They were more concerned about me and my well-being throughout the entire process. Also, I've had a supportive and informative experience from the very beginning (about 3 years ago) till this day. Everything I asked for and/or needed was provide to me in a timely manner. Special thanks to Ms. Chan for always responding to my concerns promptly. Overall, it sucks that you are here as it means something awful has happened to you but I am also happy for you because you found the right place to take the first step. read more

Attorney Tanya and our family touched basis. We provided further info and feedback with the intent of helping Attorney Tanya's law firm improve. Attorney Tanya is sincere, driven, pleasant to work with. But again, they need to get more first hand experience not only from the job but also from more seasoned attorneys. May be getting mentors of some sort will be helpful. Thus, we revised our rating to 3 stars. Attorney Tanya, we wish you the best. :) read more

The lawyers and team here are stellar.they really care about their clients. From start to finish on a case, they walk you through what to expect and how to be prepared. This is what you want in a firm. I have also come to learn that no two clients of theirs are alike, from the CEO to the janitor, they represent them all, as long as the case is worthy and strong and that makes your case better too. Couldn't chose better by going with them! read more

This law firm has a very friendly and accommodating staff. I've been in contact with them a few times and they've always been extremely helpful in referring me to the right place, even when they can't directly assist me. Thanks! read more

I have to make an update to my previous review because the fact that I have paid over $8000 in taxes for a very low settlement and no one has helped me resolve the tax issues I've had after working with this office I just don't feel comfortable leaving at 5 stars when I did not have a 5-star experience and I'm still suffering financially because of the crappy settlement that I got here read more

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. read more

Today I spoke with Tanya over the phone after sending her an email explaining my situation. She called me within an hour, and spoke to me at length. She was patient, listened to me, and did a very good job of explaining my rights, as well as helped me plan out what my next steps should be. It doesn't matter what specialty of law you're dealing with, but at all times you want an attorney who will take all facets of your case into consideration, tempered with loyalty towards you. Based on my interactions with Tanya so far, I can tell she is the type of attorney that would fight tirelessly to make things right. I've stopped my search. I've found my lawyer. read more

I had a free initial consultation and it was determined I should not take additional actions other than what my car insurance company is already doing for the accident. I was so appreciative of the sensible advice I received. It really put my mind at ease. I was happy to pay for that advice but the office very graciously told me it was not needed. They seem to be very ethical in their treatment of their clients. read more

I'm writing this review after talking to Tanya and Salma this morning. I sent them a message blindly and desperately seeking some guidance and help. Both Tanya and Salma got back to me, mentioning that what I was inquiring about wasn't their area BUT they will send me in the direction of someone who could help. Not only did they do that, but Salma called me and walked me through steps to take to make sure our situation gets resolved. I appreciate both of them so much for just hearing me out and offering help. If you go to this office, you are in good hands! read more

I am so thankful and grateful to have met such an empowering and helpful team. I was skeptical at first on how they would approach my situation. As a transgender woman of color, The team not only provided guidance through my rights, but also understood the reality and struggles of my community. Everyone Tanya, Chan and most especially Maria, had worked with my case for months going back and forth and has been such a strong figure of hope not just for myself but also for my community. Thank you for standing with us, with me, and with such power. For also helping me bring peace, a voice and strength to fight for my rights as an individual. read more

Tanya, Isabelle, Salma and Jessica all did a great job for me, I was completely satisfied with and grateful for the outcome of my case (a car accident where the person who hit me and landed me in the hospital for two weeks didn't have insurance! Get lots of "Uninsured Motorist Coverage, ya'll! You'll never regret doing so!) I remember reading the reviews about Tanya's firm when I was referred to her, and they were all positive, so I had a good feeling about having her handle my case. I read a review after my case was all settled (19 - 20 months later) that said, "They say you need a good doctor, dentist and lawyer, and I've found my lawyer." I felt the same way. Tanya and her team are professional, respectful, knowledgeable, thorough and very good at what they do. They really care about their clients, and I would totally refer others to her. In fact, I recently did, I referred a friend. Tanya's office was honest and referred my friend to someone who had more experience in a mostly unprecedented field, and that attorney was successful at getting a positive outcome for my friend. That's two for two! Need I say more? read more

Salma was super fast in responding and very patient and insightful when I talked to her. She gave an honest assessment of my situation and pointed me in the right direction...she is a keeper. Thank you! read more

Tanya and her team deserve so much more than 5 stars. She is extremely thorough and highly knowledgeable. When I didn't understand what was going on or the process of my case, (that was many times) Tanya always took the time to explain and answer all my questions and concerns without making me feel like an idiot and always reassuring me. Knowing that Tanya is on your side relieves all the added anxiety an accident can leave you with. Tanya also listens to what you want and she will fight hard to win for you! I personally didn't want my case to go to trial and she listened. She fought hard to get me a fabulous settlement without even having to go to trial. Tanya is tough as nails and won't back down or be intimidated by anyone. I highly recommend Tanya and her team. Thank you thank you Tanya!! read more
