The BEST & Most Ethical Divorce Lawyer EVER!

Great experience! So, without going into my divorce saga (which after 2 years finally ended this week), I need to praise my intelligent, ethical, strategic, fair, honest, humble, and kind, pitbull lawyer Tracy Rizzo. I initially hired a suburban lawyer in June 2019 who was not really a divorce sp...ecialist, thinking because the rates were lower, "it will all be fine," but it was not. I was a bit worried because my ex-husband's lawyer came off as very misogynistic, and his and my ex's bully tactics were awful. Tracy came HIGHLY recommended by a friend (a top Chicago plaintiff's lawyer). I was worried I was going to get the same but WAS I so pleasantly SURPRISED! This woman is incredible!! Strategic but fair in her approach. I told her once, "Tracy, you are just pitbull... but an ethical and fair pitbull." She takes no garbage and left my ex scrambling for another attorney, one where he would then show up with 2 attorneys, and he got double-billed for that, I am sure. Eventually, he seemingly got passed off to the "junior attorney" in the firm, though. Our divorce should have been over very quickly, but (now) ex-husband made it difficult. His new lawyer sent out all kinds of subpoenas, primarily to harass me, which is how I felt. Tracy would do her magic, file what she needed to do, and stopped them! She is BRILLIANT. She is a great protector and took no prisoners doing so. If you know ANYONE looking for the greatest attorney in the Chicago area, I will not hesitate for one second to say TRACY RIZZO! She knows the laws inside and out, she is in solo practice so that you won't get passed off to the "junior attorney," and she is empathetic. I did not call her all of the time. I let her work her magic. She did listen to my concerns and sometimes would email me at 2 a.m. if she could not sleep because my case was on her mind. She worked her butt off this past Saturday and Sunday trying to negotiate deals, as our trial (yep, trial) was fast approaching. Luckily, we were able to settle out of court finally! Seriously, I KNOW my outcome would not have been nearly this good without Tracy on my side. She is "simply the best, better than all the rest"... as the song goes. She has my undying gratitude. Again, if you know anyone looking for a great family attorney, not smug but cheerful, organized, real, intelligent, and just a really good person... it's TRACY RIZZO for the win! THANK YOU, TRACY!!!!!!!!

Sincere

I am grateful for the shining recommendation of Tracy. Her reputation preceded her. She demonstrated her extensive knowledge and experience in family law through her vast competency and professionalism. She always put my best interest at the forefront of her efforts. She is the BEST in my book!

Total package

As a family law attorney, Tracy represents a complete package: She is very sharp, organised, and she bears good amount of aggression, which in my view you really want in your attorney. That being said, she also displays very rate qualities for an attorney which makes her rare breed - she is very ...personable, she CARES and she wants to fight for you. Also, and this is very important, while she is very busy, she is making all the efforts to make herself very accessible. I honestly do not know why would someone want to hire another attorney who is not Tracy. I can not say enough how much I recommend her.

Amazing!!

I am beyond grateful that Tracy was recommended to me to handle my divorce. My life had been in limbo for about 6 years, moving all over the world for my ex’s career, and Tracy was the one who helped me get my voice back and finally put mine and my kids’ well-being first. She is extremely professio...nal, yet she cares deeply about her clients and doing what’s best and right by them. She is extremely thorough and honest; she never gave me false hope with my case, and in the end, we were able to get what I wanted. I wouldn’t wish divorce on anyone as it is a very ugly and emotional process, but I would recommend Tracy to anyone who needs a great divorce attorney who will always have their back. She won’t let you down!
