Great Attorney

Tracey Dewrell has represented my family business for over 10 years. He has closed many multimillion dollar commercial real estate transactions on our behalf and has represented us in many contested matters. We recommend Tracey without hesitation. He is an experienced transactions attorney, a legal... strategist with unparalleled negotiation skills and an excellent litigator with effective courtroom skills. He enjoys trying cases and truly enjoys the courtroom. He connects with judges and jurors. He has a keen ability to identify and capitalize on weaknesses in the opposing case. As a client, it is extremely comforting to watch Tracey cross examine an opposing witness. His results for us have been nothing short of spectacular. By way of example, just last week Tracey obtained a dismissal of a $3.65 million dollar claim for breach of promissory note and personal guarantee against one of our joint venture holding companies and its investors. In short, we developed and sold a commercial shopping center in Duluth, GA for $6.5 million. The buyer assumed, with our lender’s approval, the original note and mortgage which the owners of our company personally guaranteed. The buyer subsequently defaulted and the lender proceeded against us for the $3.65 million outstanding balance. While other attorneys said the breach of promissory note and personal guarantee claim was indefensible and allowed the case to go into default, Tracey entered an appearance and had the entire case dismissed against all parties for the lenders failure to produce the original note and timely comply with the state’s confirmation statute. On our litigation cases, there is no better attorney out there nor is there any other attorney we would ever want to represent our interests. On our transactions, he is the creative thinker and persuasive negotiator responsible for bringing everyone to the closing table. Tracey’s contribution and advice of counsel has been crucial to our company’s success. Tracey is smart, tenacious, aggressive and an unusually talented attorney. We recommend him without reservation.

Real estate lawyer | Apr 22

Relationship: Co-worker

"At the start of our legal careers, Tracey and I worked together at Hightower & Rudd, P.A. in downtown Miami, Florida. We were given a high level of responsibility; extensive hearing, deposition and trial experience; and very large caseloads. Despite these difficult conditions, Tracey excelled in this environment and showed himself to be an excellent attorney time and time again. Since this time, he has moved into real estate law in Atlanta, GA and has had great success in this field. I believe his success is do to the fact that he is extremely motivated, intelligent, hard-working, and personable. In short, I highly recommend this attorney."
