Tracy Lynn Updike

Tracy represented me in my Chapter 13 Bankruptcy back in 2016. I was 28 and going through a very tough time. I was in the middle of a messy divorce, trying to get my life back together and on top of that my (now) wife and I had just lost our daughter to a heart defect. Tracy walked me through the en...tire process with ease. She explained everything and ensured me that everything would be ok. I trusted her and she was absolutely right. Anytime I had a question about the case or just in general, she would reply within minutes NO MATTER WHAT TIME OF DAY. I think her ability as a lawyer as well as her compassion for her clients make her an above average choice in representation. More recently my wife and I are in the process of building a home (summer 2021). I am running into issues when it comes to underwriting. I had a foreclosure within my bankruptcy and I had to prove such facts. Long story short, Tracy is one of the reasons that my wife and I's mortgage ultimately got pushed forward in the review process. I haven't paid Tracy a cent in years, but she sill stuck up for me. She forwarded many documents to my broker showing that my information was correct. Again, the communication with her was in the evening and even on the weekends. She is so helpful! I couldn't have picked a better lawyer to help me through one of the toughest times in my life.

This lawyer....I just can't say enough about! Going bankrupt is not an easy decision, and by any means should always be the last resort. When it is the ONLY thing you can do, Look NO FURTHER than Tracy Updike! I already felt horrible over my predicament, and had been in contact with a overly popular ...bankruptcy company. It had gone as far as actually having an assigned lawyer. But I needed someone to help me access what was best for me, to be there to answer questions that were not so black & white, but pertained to my case, and situation. To help me see the big picture. I received anything but this with that other lawyer, who he and the company made no pretense to make me feel like a number. That's ALL they saw, a number that said dollar signs. I'm convinced in my heart had I gone with them, I would regret it now. When I would call ready to give money someone would pick up in 3 seconds...now call with a question....call wanting advice...yeah have a good time with that..... 3 times I called to give a check to hold, and 3 times I called back to cancel. After searching and searching the internet for someone who would just answer my questions, I...FOUND...TRACY! When I called, SHE answered. I quickly told her my story through tears, among this that I was broke, she didn't hang up on me or tell me she couldn't help. She had me to make an apt. And you see how on this site it says free 60 min. consultation? Yeah this compassionate woman met with me for about an hour and 1/2- 2 hours!!! And I hadn't hired her yet! She answered all of my questions, and needless to say I walked in still feeling like a low number, but when I walked out. I was a HUMAN BEING! My life was not over, this is NOT the worse thing that could happen. There is life after bankruptcy! And a lawyer can be compassionate, kind, very knowledgeable, and treat you with dignity. I knew leaving there that if it was my decision, I didn't have to look any further. That WILL be your experience with Tracy! Once I emailed her a question very late at night so I never expected her to answer. I kept forgetting to email her through the day, so only sent it at that time to make sure I got it out the way. To my shock, she emailed me right back that late!!! She never left me hanging. If she didn't get back to me immediately, she always does in a timely manner. She will honest with you and tell it like it is, but she will be there with you AND for you! And top it off I paid $500 less than that other bogus company was charging. When bankruptcy is the ONLY decision, Look no further folks!!!

Bankruptcy is a life altering experience. To have a highly adept legal counsel to steer you through the process and fight for you in the times when it becomes necessary, Tracy is a real warrior. I am just finishing out my Chapter 13 case in the Middle District court and she is an absolute blessing ...-- I HIGHLY recommend: Tracy L. Updike, Esq. Before I went to the law firm where she was staffed, I had filed for Chapter 13 with some "other" firm that apparently knew nothing about bankruptcy law and could quite possibly have had my case dismissed from the very beginning...failure to file certain documents, to be exact. Tracy is very knowledgeable and simply the greatest person to work with; very friendly, supportive, and a valuable asset to any firm she chooses to work with. A personaL note, "Tracy, THANK YOU for your expertise and delivery of great service!"
