Train Accident

Attorney Houck represented me and my siblings. The team at Houck Law went above and beyond to help us with our loss. I was able to call him in nights and weekends which I know was an inconvenience to him and family but when your dealing with situation where your father was killed by a train I needed... to talk. After numerous depositions, meeting with experts and it takes you through the ringer. I so appreciated their caring and would recommend.

I hired houck almost 4 years ago and told me to wait on my ex to serve me..so we did last year I got served and I did everything I was requested alcohol test drug text concuncling and put my children in it as well..I was going for full custody and my divorce..went to my hearing my ex nor his attorney... showed up. went to our court date again my ex nor attorney showed up..so instead of tracy getting my divorce and custody signed off on he changed from civil attorney to what he is now..so after 4 years and almost $5k I am having to deal with my case and get another attorney..

Resolved all of client concerns. Client got divorce and Client has sole custody of the minor children with father very limited supervised visitation. Everything was achieved. Thanks for your patience.

Worse than fighting the opposing attorney

I hired Mr. Houck a year ago. I paid him $5k retainer of which he earned very little of it. It would take pages to describe just how rude, prideful and unknowledgeable he is and what terrible service he provided to me and my teenage daughter when faced with the sudden custody, visitation, and support... modification suit that my documented abusive ex filed against me after being absent for 11 years. If Mr. Houck had shown my case even a little care and attention it should have been a short-lived easy case. Instead it dragged for over a year before reaching the settlement that I had to argue against my own attorney for many times (when he responded at all). He kept telling me to accept everything the other attorney proposed no matter how unreasonable. I stood my ground because I was in the right and I got the settlment and terms that I came up with not anything that Mr. Houck proposed to help us. Please don't add to your stress by hiring this "attorney."

Oh I'm so sorry for this comment. I provided the services and provided the client with exactly what was wanted. I have found the sometimes clients want the "drama" to continue forever and forever so that they may also be the victim. I strongly disagree with her comment and her analysis of the case. She did indeed receive what she requested. I wish her the best of luck.

Guided me through my car wreck

Tracy is a no-nonsense kind of lawyer. He's not going to put up with having his or your time wasted. He doesn’t play games. He's not going to sugar coat anything and he will honestly tell you the merits of your case. You can always ask for his cell phone number. He is one busy lawyer, but he will get... back to you.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
