Tracy Marie Rizzo

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!
