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

Cannot give her enough praise!

Tracy is nothing short of amazing! She took on my case and had a passion about it from the very beginning. I could tell from the first consult that she was “like the lawyers you see on TV”, and I searched no further. I knew she was the one. Boy, was a proven right! She got my criminal felony and misd...emeanor case dismissed way quicker than I was anticipating. I always felt like she truly cared about me and my case and I am so thankful I put it into her hands. I couldn’t recommend her enough. If you’re torn with the decision of deciding whether to hire her or not, I would 1,000 times say to go with her!

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.

Tracy is THE BEST!

Tracy read my initial request and called me immediately. Unfortunately, I did now have a lot of information but she was able to take what I had and dive into her own research quickly! Literally, within a 24 hour period, she was able to sort through a horrible mess and a broke system to get my loved o...ne released. I went to the courthouse, probation office and Fulton County jail to gather my information over a period of two weeks and she got everything accomplished in a day. Tracy was great in terms of explaining the process to me, setting my expectations at a realistic level and continued to keep me updated. I literally can't put into words how ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL Tracy has been. If you are looking for someone to be fully committed to your case and completely honest with you about your options, look no further!

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"
