Attorney Zoila Gómez, BEI Cohort IX graduate, knew she wanted to be a lawyer, even as a young child in her home country, Dominican Republic. After graduating from the Massachusetts School of Law and obtaining her license, she founded the Law Office of Zoila Gómez in 2006. Attorney Gómez partnered with Tania Marinez (formally Tanina Palumbo) to form Gómez & Palumbo, LLC in 2015. Tania Martinez is a seasoned attorney who focuses on family law immigration issues and deportation defense.
Gómez and Martinez shared the same passion for helping immigrants. Their vision and mission are to provide their clients personalized service to fit their needs with transparent and honest legal representation.
Gómez and Marinez’s advocacy extends outside of their office. Gómez educates immigrants about their rights on a weekly radio show, “Al Son de la Mañana.” Gómez is also on the board of the Youth Development Organization, a nonprofit organization focused on after-school programs. Martinez serves as the President of the Board of Directors for Delamano, Inc., a non-profit organization committed to domestic violence intervention and awareness.
