Life Saver

Tracy was a God given angel to me and my family. I was charged with false allegations and sent a TPO. After consulting with Tracy, she handled the case and told me to not speak at the hearing. I am normally a very strong willed person, but she went in and got the JOB DONE. I was awarded fees in ...the hearing. She proved that this plaintiff was a liar and acted upon malicious and retaliatory purposes. Not only did Tracy admonish the plaintiff, the judge did as well given Tracy's arguments' and defense strategy.

TPO and Battery

My husband at the time literally stole my inheritance. When I confronted him, he attacked me, I fought back and I got charged with battery because he called the cops first. Then he did a a TPO and barred me from seeing my children. With all these charges, Tracy was referred to me by a good friend. O...nce she was on the case, everything turned in my favor. She was able to give me custody of my kids while I had a TPO on me which never happens. She also got my battery case dismissed. My husband told me he wished she was his attorney and said that will be our family attorney. All I can say was she was a rock when I was at my lowest point and she got me through it. Her knowledge of the criminal justice system and TPOs are amazing. If you hire her, you will not be disappointed.

Angel

I was in my cell never been to jail before. I was scared in an unknown space. Disconnected from my world and my freedom I didn’t know what my future was going to be. On rock bottom. I was called for an attorney visit a very energetic bubbly blonde woman with a MCM bag begins to speak to me I automati...cally felt safe she told me her creditials and I automatically had a little hope. Tracy was humble, fun and energetic. You wouldn’t know how big of a deal she is because she is so humble I can’t come up with any other words to describe her. She got my TPO dismisses between me and my wife she was diplomatic with my in-laws she even came to my divorce hearing to make sure everything was safe. She works tirelessly and ethically. She is a joy for the justice system here in Georgia and you won’t find a better attorney here in Georgia

Tracy Dorfman is a blessing!

Tracy helped through some of the stressful times in my life. An ex filed for a TPO against me which was completely frivolous. Not knowing what TPO was or how to handle it, I reached out to law firms through google. Tracy’s law firm was the second one I called and I was connected with Tracy. Based on ...her credentials and how compassionate she was over the phone, I met her immediately and we went over the whole Ex Parte TPO. Throughout the whole process she was so helpful and compassionate. She was so understanding and helpful throughout the process and kept me from stressing too much even when I kept bombarding her with emails and evidence. During the day of the hearing, she knew that this was the first time I was setting foot in a courtroom and told me everything about the process. She was amazing in the courtroom. The way she combated the petitioners claims with evidence was astounding. Her extensive knowledge of the law was nothing short of astounding. She made the whole experience less stressful for me. The TPO was dismissed and I was finally able to breathe easy in two weeks. Tracy is an absolute gem and by pure luck I ended up hiring her. I will be forever grateful to Tracy and for everything she has done to help me get over that predicament. Hoping this would be the last time I would ever need to hire a lawyer like Tracy but if at all there would arise a situation, I would hire Tracy without hesitation. She wouldn’t promise you anything, sells no lies but would give her absolute best.

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING SHORT OF AMAZING

Tracy made no promises but was direct in her intentions, possible outcomes and contention plans if needed. She made what would seem to be short work of two simultaneous matters at the same time, so that we could return to our regularly scheduled lives. She pulls no punches and sells no lies. Thank ...You again and again Tracy!!! Forever we are grateful!

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Tracy Dorfman has been a breath of fresh air in the legal community in Atlanta for the 25 years I have known her. She has recently joined one of the most prestigious criminal defense firms in the metro area, and will be an asset to the firm because of her knowledge, experience and keen insight into all aspects of the law. As a prosecutor she was incredibly well respected by defense lawyers because of her sense of justice and fairness, although it was well known that if a trial was necessary she was always willing to wage a war with well thought out design for the state. Her skills in the courtroom are formidable and because she has been a judge for the last decade her knowledge of the rules of evidence and the cutting edge changes in the law over those years make her skills beyond reproach. I endorse Tracy Dorfman and welcome her to the criminal defen"
