Tracey Darr Carlisle

In September 2023 my daughter hired Tracey Carlisle to file a petition to modify the time-sharing agreement in place; request child support and file a motion for contempt of the court order agreement between her and the father of their child. Tracey accepted the case; a downpayment of $1500 towards h...er $3K retainer! Seven months have expired, and Ms. Carlisle has failed to meet any expectation as agreed upon. From 2004 thru 2020 there have been several small claims filed against Tracey Carlisle, as well as a long list of poor reviews on numerous sites. Despite the individual outcomes, the claimants share a common denominator…the pattern of continual abuse and neglect is apparent. Neglecting scheduled meeting attendance and failing to advise or obtain consent (unilateral decision-making) from her client to reschedule critical hearings; Inappropriate language usage towards client; Demanding correspondence be limited to emails or texts; Errors in legal documentation – my daughter had to make multiple revisions on Tracey’s petition for contempt court - clearly showing incompetence and lack of consideration for her client; Demanding her clients do the “legwork” in obtaining documentation, she or her useless paralegal could have easily gathered; Non-Disclosure of Conflict of Interest and Representation Despite Known Conflict of Interests; Violating confidentiality via email with a third party. Note: A fundamental principle in the client-lawyer relationship is that, in the absence of the client's informed consent, the lawyer must not reveal information relating to the representation. In short, if you need a competent attorney who is “not” all about taking your money and failing exponentially, stay clear of Tracey Carlisle and call the Florida Bar Association at 850-561-5600; they will provide you with referral for exemplary attorneys in your area.

Tracey was absolutely incredible! She was very knowledgeable and understanding. She knew exactly how we needed to proceed in order to get a fair judgement. And that is exactly what happened. After multiple failed attempts with different lawyers in the past, Tracey helped us through pretty diffic...ult custody issues and we are very pleased with the results. Highly recommended.

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!

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.
