Tracey Darr Carlisle

I hired Tracey for a relocation case (which is quite an uphill battle). She was very up front and blunt about the very low chances of succeeding from the start, but lead the way. Tracey was thorough and detailed with researching, gathering paperwork, and piecing all the necessary parts together. She ...was able to start and end my difficult and hectic case in less than nine months, where other much less complicated feats have taken years to complete. During trial, she was a professional beast, while consoling, sweet, and understanding during tough 5-10 minute breaks. She was worth everything to ensure our family was kept safe and together. Please don't pass quick judgement based on previous secretaries until you know and have talked with them and with Tracey. This review is for Tracey, and her ability of knowing and successfully completing her job (which she definitely did for me). I would and have recommended Tracey to anyone who asks.

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 Ms. Carlisle for a modification of child support and time sharing. The other party and their attorney were difficult through out the process. Ms. Carlisle kept me well informed. She returned my emails promptly sometimes early in the morning when everyone else is still sleeping. She return...ed my phone calls as quickly as she could and when she couldn't because she was in court, her staff kept me well informed. I felt like I mattered and she cared about my case and my children. I got the results that I wanted. She didn't make any promises that she could not keep like a lot of attorneys do. I am recommending her to everyone.

I hired Mrs. Carlisle for my paternity case in Alachua County. She was honest and up front with me about how everything worked and what she thought needed to be done. She did not make promises that she thought she couldn't keep. I had met with other attorneys that told me just what I wanted to hea...r so that I would hire them. Tracey told me how the process worked and what to expect. I felt like I was fully informed about how things would happen. She was clear on the case and what the possible outcomes were. She emailed me or called so that I knew what was going on through out my case. Her assistant, Allie, was helpful and informed. I never felt lost in the case. I am very happy with the outcome. I get to see my kids!

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.
