Honest, knowledgeable and successful

Tracey helped me resolve a very difficult relocation custody family law issue. My son was 5 years old and after 2 other lawyers/lawfirms incorrectly handled everything, because of inexperience and lack of proper knowledge of the respective laws, statutes and case law, Tracey was instrumental in res...olving these complex issues. I have been with her in court as well as mediation and I can assure you her intentions are heartfelt, true and her knowledge and experience can help resolve any situation, no matter how difficult. It's not only her knowledge of the applicable laws and legal implications of any case, it's her knowledge of the nuance and details of the entire process, judges, what to expect and network of excellent ancillary colleagues, mediators, etc that makes the difference in overall outcomes. I would highly recommend her to anyone, whether it's just a consultation to get legal counsel on an issue to full representation for any case. Thank you again Tracey, you are amazing!

Highly recommend. Wonderful experinece. Honest and reliable

I came to Tracey after I was unhappy with my previous attorney. Tracey took the time to explain everything to me and answer all my questions. I wanted to move to be close to family and my ex was putting up roadblocks at every turn. Tracey took the time to explain the process to me and discuss her ...experiences in relocation cases. She never gave me false hope. She answered my emails and phone calls quickly. I never felt like I was uninformed any step of the way. She is an outstanding and a wonderful advocate. I am so glad she was by my side throughout the process. I highly recommend her. I depended on her to get me through this difficult period of my life and move on. She was well organized and understood the legal process. I was very impressed by the way my case was handled. She formulated a plan to get me through my case and the court system. She put me at ease during this difficult process. When it became clear that we would have to go to trial, Tracey was well organized and prepared. It was clear that she was the most prepared and knowledgeable attorney in the courtroom. I wish I had hired her right from the start. She was worth every penny. I recommend her to all my family and friends that need an honest, dependable and knowledgeable attorney.

DO NOT HIRE

She gauranteed my daughter would get her kids back and it was a gauranteed price of $2500. Then after a while she said my daughter needed to pay her another $2700 if she wanted her to attend trial. So I paid this woman a total of $5200 and she hasn't been to court since the day I paid her the $2700. ...Doesn't return phone calls..... EVER. She has her assistant return them a week later and charges full price even though she never talked to you. And her staff is rude and unprofessional. $300 for one email.

A good Attorney all around

Gosh... where to begin. When I hired Tracey, my situation was pretty much at a breaking devastating, not turning back point for me. My divorce was one of its own unique situation, and a soap opera of it's own. I had two attorney's before her, and wish to this day I had had her since day one. She is v...ery dependable, and honest. Tracey has never given me a false hope of something I could not possibly stand a chance of being successful at with the case.,even if I did not want to here what she was . I could call her for a situation, and she was timely in her return calls to me. Her legal assistants have always been very friendly and as helpful as possible. They help me to the best of their abilities. Tracey is very proactive in helping you accomplish the best for you. She is quick to respond via email or phone calls, after hours even, if it's necessary. She is very thorough with her representation during our time before the judge, and is a tough attorney when she needs to be. I would hire her a hundred times over again and again, and really wish I could rate her more than 5 stars. I tell her what I want to accomplish and if it is something she believes is possible, she makes it happen. I am glad I found her when I did, otherwise the situation would have continued to escalate and I would not be where I am today with my children. I wish I could find a way to repay her for all she has done. Her knowledge of the law makes me comfortable enough to trust her with the case so I do not worry about how this is going to work out. I trust her 100% to make the best judgement and decision for me and my children. I would recommend her to anyone.

Competent and Tenacious

Tracey has been my divorce attorney for the past four years. My divorce wasn't the "typical" divorce. My ex-wife has had her parental rights taken away completely on two occasions. She has made criminal allegations against me which were unfounded but compelled me to retain Tracey for these complai...nts as well. In a nut shell, it has been an uphill battle to make sure my children are safe and in the place they need to be. Tracey was there for me every step of the way. She always answers my call, emails me back and prepares for court in a timely and competent manner. I would highly recommend her especially if you want a tenacious fighter that won't back down to any other attorney. I am posting anonymously to protect my children.
