Tracey Darr Carlisle

I was referred to Ms. Carlisle by a trusted colleague. I was very grateful for her having taken my case on a payment plan and having no experience in the legal area, that's what we hire attorneys for...to know and protect our rights. And in Family Law, more importantly, our children's rights. Upon ...initial case evaluation meeting, I told her I wanted sole custody of my son due to the history of his dads abuse which was escalating with each passing day. Ms. Carlisle informed me I had little to no chance of such and sole custody is awarded if sexual abuse occurs. Knowing what I know now, I would have ran then when she clearly had no intentions of representing our interests at all. It only got worse. Within the first month of the divorce proceedings, my husband was having me stalked at work, harassing me with hundreds of emails, texts, and calls, under constant threat so much I did make police reports. Once my husband physically threatened my life during an exchange, while holding our son at that, she directed me to file for an Injunction. While literally filing the injunction in the Court , apparently my home was being robbed (taking video evidence) and destroyed each room but our sons. The next day, Ms Carlisle filed a pile of motions pertaining to exclusion of residence and so on. I had learned from the responding officer to the burglary that since we were married and no order in court for home, my husband could break in and take whatever he wanted and they couldn't do anything. WONDERFUL! I was granted the temporary injunction only to have her advise me to "roll into the divorce decree" during mediation two days prior to the hearing on the final injunction to "save me a trip" since it's the same thing. DO NOT...I REPEAT ....DO NOT EVER "ROLL AN INJUNCTION INTO AN AGREEMENT". It carries no weight and to utilize defense, it costs $50 each time inform the court "hey...he tried to kill me again" and for the court to check back in on that a month later. Not safe. I recall Ms. Carlisle informing me her husband was a local officer so how is it she wasn't aware just how much danger she put our lives in. I do know she was hired by another colleague on an interstate custody cases expediently and efficiently though I do believe they had the ability to pay upfront which is fine with me. If a client's payment amount decides the effort of the attorney, the client should be notified of such. Example: For a payment of $100 a month, I can give you 1 hour of biased time where your concerns might be addressed, you do all the fact finding, and when you give me the evidence, don't expect me to use it for anything helpful.

I hired this attorney with good hopes that my case was going to be handled with a guarantee from ms carlisle and I paid her the same day a large amount of money for the record. after the payment i was completely ignored no phone calls returned, missed a deadline that was very important in my case bec...ause of her, and was talked to by the secretary in a very condescending manner. I do not recommend this firm to my worst enemy. Signed a former disgusted client.

I hired Mrs. Carlisle to handle my custody and child support modification. She does not return phone calls and does not do whats best for your situation or suggest (what an attorney is paid to do) options. I felt like I was just another helpless man taken advantage of by someone with power because sh...e has a bar number and can get away with it. This attorney does not keep you updated on your case and things are never done in a timely manner. Please take heed to this review and don't waste your money or time.

I hired her for my child support case and it took entirely too long. I know a few people who didn't hire an attorney for their child support cases and didn't take nearly as much time as my case. Never received calls back when I called, not even the next day. I would have to call back. I never been th...rough anything like this and she didn't inform me about things you would think the attorney you hired would. Also she didn't advise me on anything that would be beneficial to help my case. I wouldn't recommend this attorney to my worst enemy.
