great lawyer

Tracy is a great attorney. He is knowledgeable in tax, bankruptcy, contracts and other issues. He is very understanding and easy to talk to. He keeps his word regarding the retainer and he does not nickel and dime you for every thing he does for you and doesn't charge for ridiculous things like other... attorneys do. He resolved our issues quickly and we will use him again

Essig Law is sort of an angel to me

Tracy Essig helped me every step of the way and somehow managed to keep my spouse's name out of my personal chapter 7 bankruptcy. That was not the only miracle he created along the way. Thanks, Tracy - you're my angel.

Mr. Essig is well-versed in all aspects of the bankrupcty law. He knows the players and has in fact, interpreted these laws for Janet Napolitano when he worked for her in the Attorney Generals office as her Bankruptcy Cousel.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
