My background as a felony prosecutor for 12 years and then a Judge for 10 years gives me a unique level of experience to handle criminal defense cases. I have a very good idea of what the prosecutor is planning as well as what the judge is expecting in all types of criminal cases.
As a Judge, I presided over the Family Violence and Stalking TPO 12 Month Hearing Calendars almost weekly for 10 years. Now in private practice, I enjoy using that expertise by representing clients in their TPO hearings in various Georgia counties.
I will always show compassion to each client and work my hardest to get the absolute best outcome that I can.

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 ...

Outstanding counsel and representation!
Tracy represented us in our efforts to obtain a stalking protective order. As a former prosecutor and a former judge, her knowledge of the law and of the court system is unrivaled. It was a very stressful time for us, and to be in such capable hands was a huge relief. Tracy was thorough in her pre...

"This is the lawyer you want to hire! Tracy was a fantastic judge, and knows the law well. She is a compassionate advocate for her clients. She will not let you down, and she will fight aggressively against prosecutors on behalf of her clients. Amazing attorney!"
"I have known Tracy for over 40 years, and can say with no hesitation that she was not only an excellent prosecutor but a terrific judge. I have no doubt that she will continue to do great things as a criminal defense lawyer. She is ethical, professional, has great common sense and you can take her at her word."
"Tracy is smart, diligent, with a lot of common sense. She was a worthwhile opponent in the courtroom as a prosecutor and a thoughtful, insightful judge. I am looking forward to working with Tracy as a criminal defense lawyer"
"I wholeheartedly endorse Tracy. She is an exceptionally accomplished and skilled attorney with an excellent reputation in the legal community."
"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"
"Tracy and I go way back, having had cases against each other when she was a prosecutor. I found Tracy to be honest, hard working and responsive. Now that she is a criminal defense lawyer, I look forward to having some cases WITH her."
