Tracy Marie Rizzo

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!
