She is well recognized and admired by other Utah lawyers for the quality of her work. She is an excellent writer and an accomplished oral advocate, regularly handling hearings in both federal and state courts. Clients appreciate her dedication to their cases and trust her to provide sound advice on how to resolve their legal issues. Ms. Tomchak has been praised by her clients for her efficient and effective approach to litigation. She serves as legal counsel to a number of small, midsize, national, and international companies. Since early in her career, Ms. Tomchak has been recognized for her skilled representation of clients in litigation.

Practice Areas: Professional and Legal Malpractice Liability Defense: Ms. Tomchak has significant experience defending individual attorneys, law firms, and other professionals against claims alleging malpractice, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, and negligence. She has been able to substantially limit the defense costs and risk of exposure for national and regional law firms and their attorneys by effectively using dispositive motions and discovery techniques to narrow the claims and potential damages asserted against them.

These attributes are exemplified by her recent cases, including successfully resolving claims filed against a regional firm in the firm’s favor on a motion to dismiss; and successfully resolving claims filed against a regional firm and its attorneys in their favor on a motion for summary judgment. In a recent case, a claim for tens of millions of dollars was resolved in a walk-away settlement for her client after many of the claims were dismissed on a motion for summary judgment.

After a recent arbitration, Ms. Tomchak’s client received a defense verdict for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Personal Injury: Ms. Tomchak has gotten great results for a number of clients in personal injury matters. Her clients appreciate the personal approach she applies to their cases because she really takes the time to understand their needs.
