On Thursday, February 27, 2025, Tanya Hobson-Williams joined dozens of other women who were honored as the 2025 Power Women of Queens, an event intended to promote women who have shown themselves to be leaders and rising stars in Queens. Tanya was awarded for her distinguished excellence as an attorney, and was recognized for her work in high profile guardianship cases. Events like these highlight the importance of elevating women in their respective fields, and the impact they can have on their communities.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed a new law on Wednesday, December 15, which will remove most medical debt from the credit reports of New York residents. The law will substantially improve many people’s credit scores by removing the impact of medical debt on their credit, enabling a better financial future. In particular, this will be a boon for many low-income New Yorkers who struggle to improve their circumstances after a major medical emergency.
“I want to take this time to thank Tanya and Keith for their professionalism and their ability to keep me calm during this process. Tanya was very helpful in explaining the whole guardianship process and my next steps. Despite my numerous emails, I never felt ignored or that they were growing weary of me. Even after being granted guardianship when I had an issue with the bank releasing money Tanya stayed calm and found a way to get what I was entitled to. I hope I never need to do this again but if I do, I will definitely come back to Tanya and her team. Thank you Thank you Thank you. Love from Bermuda.”
