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.

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...paration for court, as well as in preparing all of us who would be testifying. As for the actual hearing, I can't help but describe Tracy as a rock star. She was thorough yet concise, and you could feel all of her careful legwork as she meticulously took us through our testimony and questioned our stalker. We never doubted that she was the absolute best person to be working with for this matter. The judge granted our protective order, and we couldn't be more pleased with the quality of counsel Tracy provided.

Excellent representation!

Tracy successfully defended my interests in my legal process in a very professional and effective way. She understood my needs perfectly and acted in accordance with the law and with justice. Additionally, she has given me advice on all kinds of concerns, always with a very good disposition to help. ...I felt very well represented because she is a just person who seeks to mediate and resolve any conflict. I appreciate your collaboration and expertise.

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"
