Great professional and personal representation!

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.

Excellent Attorney

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.

Tracy is smart, strong and knowledgable.

Tracy is a fantastic family law attorney. She is very knowledgable of the law and gives priceless advice on how to approach complicated situations. She also can be tough when she needs to be. She helped get my life back in order and kept me focused on the ultimate goal. I have a terrific relationshi...p with my son and she is to thank for it.

Simply The Best! -->Compassionate, Aggressive, Smart, Knowledgeable

I hired Tracy to handle a very contentious divorce. The team my ex-wife hired threw everything and more at us and Tracy navigated through it with ease. Her knowledge of the law and the court system puts her beyond reproach. It is still rather uncommon for a father to gain full custody of his two... Children. She was amazing. My family and I owe her a tremendous debt of gratitude. Thank you Tracy!!

Best move I've EVER made!

As many of you know, or will soon learn, going through a divorce and custody battle is one of the biggest challenges of ones life. So don't mess this up! Hire Attorney Tracy Rizzo. She is accomplished in her field. She is not a push over or threatened by anyone. Divorce is a business and her levelhea...dedness and composure will get you the best results. She fights for you and your children. She looks out for your best interest. I'd give examples but I don't want her secrets to be leaked. She is personable and compassionate. She is ALWAYS there for her clients. She takes phone calls on the weekends, late at night and early in the morning. Tracy takes time to explain thoroughly the process of divorce, what to expect and she lays out your options! As for my children, I cry thinking about her guidance and leadership. She knows how important our children are to their parents. To boot she is also a licensed private investigator. I don't know where I would be without Tracy. I think the world of her. I even recommended her to about a dozen friends. ALL were satisfied. If you need more information about the impact she has had on people's lives, please read the attached article which appeared in Chicago Magazine. http://www.tracyrizzo.com/downloads/ChicagoMagazine.pdf
