Tracy Marie Rizzo

I used Tracy for my divorce about 13 years ago. She was incredibly professional and was very attentive to all of my needs. I even recall our first phone conversation I hired her when she told me "I am NOT your friend. When you talk to me it will cost you money." What lawyer does that???? Well, to mak...e a long story short, after my divorce was complete I received BACK some of my $5,000.00 retainer. Fantastic experience for a non-fantastic situation. HIGHLY recommend.

I had one attorney that initially handled my divorce and did a mediocre job, at best. I subsequently had post decree difficulties and sought out a better attorney to represent me going forward. I was given the contact information for Tracy from another divorce attorney and for that I am forever grate...ful! Tracy has been my attorney for years and has done an excellent job handling all of the issues that have come up during this time. She has a knowledge of the law that is second to none and knows precisely when and how to navigate the legal process. The divorce system is difficult at best and having Tracy represent me has made this whole experience much less draining. Tracy's expertise in this area has taken the fear and anxiety out of an emotionally laden part of my life. She also personalizes this process by asking about how I am doing and reminding me that there is a bigger picture to consider. With children involved, Tracy is careful to recognize what is in the best interest of the children and provides thoughtful, gentle guidance about how to proceed. Her attention to detail and preparation have provided the structure for my children to have the best opportunities for their needs to be met. This is something that I think can is often overlooked in the adversarial arena of divorce. I can't say enough about how Tracy has been considerate of the issues that impact both the children and the parents in a divorce. She has never added any fuel to the fire by being overly aggressive in pursuing what is a legal obligation, but instead, has maintained a professional and stoic presentation before the judge. Her organized preparation before a court appearance regarding a range of messy financial issues clearly helped the judge understand everything and in the end, make an appropriate ruling. I continue to use Tracy to represent me years after my divorce was finalized because she is simply the best. I also recommend Tracy to anyone that I know who is going through this difficult process because I know from experience that she will provide the same professional and personal comfort to whomever is fortunate to retain her.

Divorce is ugly and navigating the legal process is confusing. Tracy came highly recommended and I'm glad that I chose her. I would not have gotten through my divorce without her. When emotions got high, she stayed calm. When I got emotional, she calmed me down. Looking back, her advice was spot... on and even when in the moment it was tough to hear she was right. She knows her stuff. I respect her professionally. She's extremely competent, but I didn't just come to trust her, I also came to also like her. She was all I had to lean on during a very difficult time. Divorce doesn't just happen during normal business hours. Tracy was there 24/7. I have referred her often and that's the highest compliment you can pay to someone.

I was referred to Tracy thru previous clients of hers. My X-husband had to switch attorneys and finally said to me fine, you win. He could no longer go against Tracy. She always seemed to be one step ahead of everyone. She also had my children's best interest at heart even when I was feeling defeated.... She would not waver and said No, this is not in the best interest of your children. Tracy is always available 24/7. Answers every email, text, phone call unlike others. Tracy is the best decision I ever made for my future as well as my children's future. Thank you Tracy for my happily ever after!
