Get Tracy to get rid of your spouse

Tracy did an amazing job handling my divorce, which included a fierce custody battle. She is extremely competent and regularly made my ex-wife’s attorney look silly. She explains things thoroughly, has extensive prior experience, and a network of experienced professionals (GALs, accountants, psycho...logists, etc.). I cannot recommend her enough.

Trust Trust Trust

I have been a client of Tracy's for 2 years now. I have had representation in the past with other attorneys for visitation issues etc... To me there is no bigger quality than being able to trust your attorney. You can trust Tracy to remain calm and professional in highly emotional situations. You ca...n trust Tracy to be quick on her feet and show her intelligence in a variety of situations. You can trust her to only bill you for hours that are needed, You can trust her to give you the proper advise even if it's something you may not want to hear. Court is probably one of the most frustrating things I've had to experience. I can honestly say having Tracy in your corner will give you the confidence that you hired the right person for the job. I have and will continue to advise those seeking representation for divorce matters to contact Tracy. It's all about trust.

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 professional and personal representation!

I had one attorney that initially handled my divorce and did a mediocre job, at best. I subsequently had post decree difficulties and sought out a better attorney to represent me going forward. I was given the contact information for Tracy from another divorce attorney and for that I am forever grate...ful! Tracy has been my attorney for years and has done an excellent job handling all of the issues that have come up during this time. She has a knowledge of the law that is second to none and knows precisely when and how to navigate the legal process. The divorce system is difficult at best and having Tracy represent me has made this whole experience much less draining. Tracy's expertise in this area has taken the fear and anxiety out of an emotionally laden part of my life. She also personalizes this process by asking about how I am doing and reminding me that there is a bigger picture to consider. With children involved, Tracy is careful to recognize what is in the best interest of the children and provides thoughtful, gentle guidance about how to proceed. Her attention to detail and preparation have provided the structure for my children to have the best opportunities for their needs to be met. This is something that I think can is often overlooked in the adversarial arena of divorce. I can't say enough about how Tracy has been considerate of the issues that impact both the children and the parents in a divorce. She has never added any fuel to the fire by being overly aggressive in pursuing what is a legal obligation, but instead, has maintained a professional and stoic presentation before the judge. Her organized preparation before a court appearance regarding a range of messy financial issues clearly helped the judge understand everything and in the end, make an appropriate ruling. I continue to use Tracy to represent me years after my divorce was finalized because she is simply the best. I also recommend Tracy to anyone that I know who is going through this difficult process because I know from experience that she will provide the same professional and personal comfort to whomever is fortunate to retain her.

Simply The Best! -->Compassionate, Aggressive, Smart, Knowledgeable

I hired Tracy to handle a very contentious divorce. The team my ex-wife hired threw everything and more at us and Tracy navigated through it with ease. Her knowledge of the law and the court system puts her beyond reproach. It is still rather uncommon for a father to gain full custody of his two... Children. She was amazing. My family and I owe her a tremendous debt of gratitude. Thank you Tracy!!
