DO NOT HIRE TRACEY

I hired Tracy back in September 2023 regarding a modification of time sharing, child support and contempt against my abusive ex. It is now May 2024 and not one thing has been done to save my child from her abusive father. I had a hearing in April 2024 and I was the only person to appear. You can only... imagine how defeated I felt. I had to take the rest of the week off of work because she had completely destroyed my mental state as she knows I am a domestic abuse survivor and has continuously FAILED ME. I had to find out from the mediator that Tracey had agreed to extend this hearing for another 3 MONTHS. Tracey failed to even mention that she had extended this hearing. I had to be the one to confront her about this and she stated she had “called and left me a voicemail” 2 weeks prior. I checked my call log, voicemail box and emails on this date and there was NOTHING from her. Not only did she flat out LIE to her own client, she has raised her voice at me as I expressed my concerns about never being able to get ahold of her, her paralegal telling me I couldn’t speak to Tracey for 2 weeks at a time. Tracey made me feel like I worked for her and gave me “homework”. Running around town finding documents and updating her on things that she could do herself. So much more in between I can’t even imagine express. Tracey has not given me a drop of helpful advice, no guidance in any way shape or form and continued to take money out of my account after I was forced to hire a new lawyer. She expects me to continuously pay her when she’s no longer my lawyer? If you’re that money hungry, just say that Tracey. Tracey is completely untrustworthy and unreliable and should have her license taken away as she hurts people that are desperate for help. One of the worst experiences I have ever had. RUN. Tracey if you’re reading this - I hope you can prove this “voicemail” you left me as I will be filing a lawsuit against you. If you can lie about something that simple, I can’t imagine all of the other lies you have told me. I truly pray that you find God.

Excellant experience

I had previous attorneys before I hired Tracey. I wished I had hired her first as it would have saved me a lot of headaches and heart aches. My ex has continued to fight with me every step of the way. Tracey was a calm presence in all of this. She kept me informed, returned emails and phone calls... promptly, and never promised me something that was unrealistic. Other attorneys promised me everything to get me to hire them but they were not honest about the process or the likely outcomes. Tracey got me the outcome I wanted. I am so happy that I hired her. I would recommend her to everyone. Don't listen to the reviews as some people are never satisfied. Call her and schedule a consultation for yourself. Everyone I know that has used her has been happy with the results.

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.

A great attorney

Before I hired Tracey I was scared but once I hired her, she made me feel comfortable and she was honest from the beginning. She took my needs into consideration with very decision we had to make. She was attentive to my case and always kept me informed with any news that occurred. I could not have a...sked for a better attorney who understood what I needed and performed above and beyond what I expected. She is a wonderful, honest, and trustworthy attorney and I highly recommend her.
