Best thing to happen to me during one of the worst times of my life!

I had the good fortune of being connected with Tracy after a failed attempt at collaborative divorce, and my second attorney only trying to settle my case quickly without thinking of what my children and I needed or were entitled to. He didn't even require my ex to obtain another attorney which is r...equired once you leave the collaborative process nor did he do any discovery to determine what is a fair and equitable split of finances. Tracy's first step was to ensure that my ex followed the law and required him to obtain another attorney. Tracy immediately began the discovery process (which had not been completed by either of my other attorneys) and obtained an emergency support order as my husband was not paying what he should have been paying to support his family. Tracy is extremely thorough and ensures that no stone is unturned. Her background in private investigation enhances her ability to serve in a legal capacity. One thing I admire most about Tracy is that her goal was to ensure that my children and I would be taken care of now and in the future without pitting my ex and me against each other which would only have made the attorneys richer. Tracy can easily handle cases where there are stocks, stock options, pensions, and 401k plans to distribute equitably. If forensic accounting is needed, I would completely trust her to uncover any hidden assets. What I ended up with was ten times what the second attorney wanted me to settle for, which, based on my ex-husband's earnings, was fair and equitable. I didn't want to gouge my ex, just wanted a fair and equitable settlement. As a stay-at-home parent who gave up a career to advance my ex-husband's career, this made me feel secure in my future financial position and my re-entry into the workforce. Tracy thought of everything when it came to the parenting agreement as well. I walked away feeling completely comfortable with our settlement and parenting agreement for our family. Tracy has integrity, is very thorough, and fair. I highly recommend Tracy!

Great service!

I was referred to Tracy by my cousin. He went through a divorce and was very happy with Tracy. I met Tracy after talking to several other attorneys. Tracy was great throughout the whole process. She explained everything. I have referred her to a friend that has used her services as well! My ex has ev...en referred Tracy to several of her friends who were going through a divorce.

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.

Awesome follow through and competent

It concerns me to read the posting below that gives Tracy Rizzo one star I believe this posting is misleading and less than truthful. Tracy is a very competent attorney with unparalleled morals, values and work ethic. Yes Tracy is very direct but direct in the most perfect and professional sense. Be...ginning in 2006 Tracy represented me in a very complex and contentious divorced Tracy continues to represent me on lingering issues she does so very effectively. As a father of three girls (young girls at that time) mid-size business owner and generally busy kind of guy I found Tracy to be more than accommodating taking calls at all hours of the day. Tracy is always ready and willing to help me manage my personal matters, family matters as well as legal and financial matters. The manor in which Tracy managed very difficult custody issues was nothing short of spectacular. In fact you should know Tracy handled all aspects of my case far better than those attorney's she fought against almost daily for nearly three year, yes three long years! Going through the divorce process is no fun however I strongly suggest you hire an attorney as competent, smart and loyal as Miss Tracy Rizzo who is not only a great attorney she is a great person.

Tracy is a great attorney

I used Tracy for my divorce. And for numerous other related services in the last five years since then. She has been a strong, intelligent, and compassionate advocate. I recommend her to all of my friends who are going through this unfortunate period of their lives.
