Highly Recommend

I was losing a commercial property to foreclosure after the market bombed out. Mr Tracy was one of the few attorneys that I met with that didn’t simply assume I had to lose the property as well as any equity I had in it. He eventually proposed a 1031 exchange that he made work to my benefit. He is bu...sy and can be tough to reach, but I see why he is. I continue to use him for my other ventures Joe
