Disappointing First Impression

I was very disappointed with my experience dealing with the firm’s first point of contact, Jacqueline. She came across as disrespectful and unhelpful. Her tone was accusatory, and she failed to follow up as promised. After waiting for a response, I had to call back myself, only to be told the firm wo...uld not be taking our case and that we should look elsewhere for representation. I question if the case was ever actually reviewed, which was frustrating given the time and effort we put into reaching out. With so many positive reviews about this firm’s professionalism and expertise, I expected a much better initial experience. Unfortunately, the intake process left a very poor impression and raised serious concerns about how potential clients are treated.

Michael D Tracton (The Umbrella)

Function of an Umbrella (shield, protection, weapon, cane, and a bridge) he was all this to me. Low period in my life when I decided to file for a divorce that I did not want but was needed. Goggled and found Attorney Michael D Tracton. During this divorce period I became part of the Tracton Family. ...Lisa, Nancy, Robyn. and Attorney Krocker with The Umbrella (Attorney Michael D Tracton) in charge. Will be forever grateful to him and his team. Jean

An excellent negotiator

Michael listened to my situation and was adamant to address all of my concerns during the divorce process. If you are looking for someone who will make sure you get the best deal out of the situation. I strongly recommend you hire him, you won't be disappointed. Besides his capabilities, he is sur...rounded by the best team of paralegals that will be always there for you. I came here to Avvo looking for a great attorney and found one. So, I am paying forward!

Excellent Experience

From the initial consultation, I knew that Michael would be my attorney of choice. Prior to finding him, I had consulted with another attorney and left the consultation not feeling confident in the abilities of that particular individual. Michael was a pleasure to work with, thorough and passionate. ...He went over areas and concerns that I had not even considered and made sure to explain things every step of the way. At no point did I feel taken advantage of or misled. Michael was upfront, transparent and trustworthy. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone in need of the legal services he offers. Thank you, Michael, for everything.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2011.

Fully Probated Suspension issued in TX, 2011

updated on 06/04/2007

Fully probated suspension means an attorney is technically suspended but may still practice law. The State monitors the lawyer's activities during the suspension to make sure that he or she does not repeat the behavior.

Michael’s comment:

“It is difficult to please all clients and it is inevitable in a busy practice over a 30+ year period that a lawyer will have a disagreement with one of their clients. This particular client reconciled with their spouse who was a lawyer (he was disbarred) but disagreed with the fact his spouse paid for my services. The cost of the service was disageed to and the matter was resolved with the State Bar of Texas.”
