Tracey Darr Carlisle

I was referred to her by another attorney and I'm pretty skeptical about reviews but all of these reviews have similar experiences with her. I overlooked the reviews and took the lawyers advice that referred me to Ms Carlise. This was the worst decision I've ever made and attorneys should STOP REFERR...ING BUSINESS TO THIS LADY. She and her "staff" never returns phone calls, my paperwork was always filed after the deadline, she just takes your money and dumps you pretty much. I could've represented myself but I must say karma works and there's a special place for people like her

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 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.
