Tracy Marie Rizzo

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.

I had never worked with an attorney in my private life and was happy to learn why lawyers are sometimes called advocates. She both helped me understand my options as I worked through a divorce but also made sure the outcome was fair. Like many I hope to never work with her again but highly recommen...d her to others who need help with a divorce.

I hired Tracy more than 5 years ago after going through several other lawyers. It was a very volatile situation and my ex was abusive to me and my children. He even refused to return them after visitation and Tracy filed an emergency order to have them returned to me the next morning. The legal syste...m has many flaws and in my opinion does not protect the children of divorce. Tracy has however, always put the welfare of my kids first and has been open and honest about what to expect and tried to resolve the issues quickly and fairly. She is not someone who drags out the proceedings for her own gain. She always puts the client first! Tracy Rizzo is fair, honest, extremely knowledgable in all aspects of the law and has a great sense of humor to break up those stressful moments. I don't know how I would have gotten through this without her!! Thank you Tracy for caring........

As an attorney, it's very easy for me to discern the competence of another lawyer. Tracy Rizzo is not only one of the most professional attorneys I've worked with, her command of the law is only overshadowed by her incredible work ethic. In a very complex and at times highly emotional case, Tracy s...howed poise and provided legal strategies that proved to be extremely successful. She was tough when necessary, but did not come across as a bully. Tracy was always very strategic and focused the entire time she represented me. To this day, if there are any issues that come up in my case, Tracy responds immediately and handles the situation. Her background as an investigator is just an added bonus for her clients. Tough, highly intelligent, excellent strategist...simply one of the best attorneys I've ever dealt with.

Divorce or custody is one of the most traumatic times one experiences in life, for me I was ignorant to the court system. I was a young man in a situation most find themselves in, I received custody papers from the court as my ex was seeking to part ways an seek all the financial support entitled by ...the state laws for support, I was very nervous and seemed advice from a family friend who knew of top notch attorneys, I wanted to retain the well advertised fathers rights attorney Jeffery Leving, I called the first attorney that I wrote down on the list of three I was referred. She stated she did not work in cook county but told me she would recommend me someone very capable of protecting my interest in this very sensitive and personal matter. I decided to use her recommendation and not pursue the other two I was referred, was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Tracy met with me and made me feel comfortable, she did not hide the fact that I had a battle against me if I wanted to pursue full custody. I never thought what would happen next would happen, my son told me he was abused by his mother's new boyfriend, for anyone who has ever had to deal with this as a mother of father I sympathize for you as no man woman nor child shall ever be abused. I did not plan to seek full custody but my sons safety is and was my number one priority. Tracy was on top of it, emergency motion was filed next day and a 604b evaluation. Tracy helped me with everything, I truly felt she cared about my sons well being, I've know many attorneys and most are greedy and see this at what it is to them, business. I never felt that way with Tracy. My case went on for 3 years, I was arrested twice for domestic issues which I was cleared from both compliments of Tracy and her staff she assembled. It is easy for anyone to get arrested during a divorce, motives for false claims to the authorities are obvious as the domestic dispute in court is ongoing and both parties attempting to get the upper hand, Tracy's expertise is what got me through it, we were able to prove the claims as a false attempt for her to get the upper hand in our custody dispute. I knew my sons life would be altered if he were to grow up in an unhealthy environment, its all that mattered to me and I think she knew that, it's hard to find a lawyer with a heart. If your children matter to you I wouldn't hire anyone else! Tracy won me custody of my son and he is doing great! That was over 10 years ago. He is now an AP student in a prominent private high school well on his was of being a positive member of our society , I am 100 percent sure that would not have happen if I chose another referrel, I consider her the best divorce attorney in the business. Thank you!
