A wonderful person and an outstanding caring lawyer.
Tracy handled a complicated adoption for me a couple of years ago. The moment she walked into the office and introduced herself she shook my hand with a self assurance that made me feel comfortable immediately. She was always very straight forward with me which I really appreciated. I felt that she cared about my case and was willing to put the time and the effort that it needed. She always returned my calls to her promptly and I never felt as though she was rushing me if I did not understand immediately what was being said or done. She always had a very positive attitude that she would be successful in settling my case but not in a showy or cocky way but in a way that she was very confident that she knew the laws and was confident we would prevail. I felt I was in very good hands very well educated capable hands each time we entered the courtroom. I think she is a wonderful attorney and would not hesitate to retain her again if needed. I just think she is a good all around person who helps to give lawyers a good name. She even sent my daughter and I a bouquet of cookies once our case had been settled which really meant a lot to me. I really cant say enough good things about her she made an extremely difficult situation bearable and I will be forever grateful to her for the time and effort she put into settling my case.
Outstanding Strategist with Savvy Attention to Detail
Tracy Rau took on a difficult case for me and she handled it perfectly. The other side didn't know what hit them - she steadily rebutted the opposing counsel's motions and effectively showed all their allegations to be complete nonsense. She did this by focusing on and delivering facts, which naturally exposed the other side's position as whimsical, reckless and irresponsible. Tracy is intelligent, versatile, and very present. She was committed to my case and that was really what I wanted most, someone to stand up for me and she did. When she addressed the court, she commanded the attention of the judge and the opposing counsel. She was entirely thorough in her comprehension of the nuances of my case and her message delivery to the courtroom reflected that awareness. Bottom line: she was ethical and fair as she turned the entire proceeding towards reality and in my favor.

What a Great Person
Needing a lawyer is always a situation you don’t want to find yourself in. Finding one that holds themselves to a high ethical standard would seem to be a tall order if you believe anything you see on TV (I really hope that is all for dramatic effect). I found myself in need of a lawyer and found an absolute gem with Ms. Rau. I found her to be knowledgeable, responsive, and kind-hearted. I was in a tough situation, and she did her best to make it better. To say that it was money well spent would be an understatement. She was a joy to work with and speak to.

A True Advocate
Divorce or separation is difficult enough, let alone finding the legal help to advise you in the ways where you are not taken along for a ride. My situation came as a surprise to me. I put off finding a lawyer because I was in denial of the situation I found myself in. But through good friends I found Tracy Rau. She was touted as the lawyer that lawyers hire in their own divorces. After the initial consult at her office, I knew we were a good fit. From the get go she gave me sound advice that as I look back on today, a year later, was what helped me in the proceedings that would follow. Tracy and her firm are assiduous in their craft and that seems to be less and less common these days. From her seemingly never ending knowledge of the law to the charismatic way that she related to me and my case, Tracy is above her peers in my opinion. This was my first, and hopefully last encounter with this situation, but in comparison to her opposing counsel she towered over her in everything imaginable. From the preparations she took, her correspondence with me and opposing counsel, her willingness to explain what was lawful and what was arbitrary, it showed the true talent and passion she and her firm have to counsel me in ways that I never thought necessary or possible. There are not enough ways that I can express in this review about how prodigious my experience was with TMR Law Group. The only other way I can even show any gratitude is to recommend them to as many individuals who need the guidance and experience they have in order to help get their life back in order.

I highly recommend Tracy Rau
Tracy is an outstanding attorney. She was referred to me by another attorney and I would strongly recommend her to anyone going through a family/ divorce case. You definitely want her on your side. Attorney Rau will advocate for you with first class service until the end. She did an outstanding job of setting my expectations throughout and delivering a great outcome that I was extremely happy with. Thank you so much for giving me peace of mind throughout my case. If you are looking for a family attorney, you need to look no further.

Divorce
Tracy was not just a divorce attorney she gave me guidance and was very compassionate during a very difficult time in my life. She is a very aggressive negotiator and did fight for me from the start to finish . She made sure my prenuptial agreement was enforced and didn’t tolerate any bulling from my husband or his attorney. Her communication was excellent ! She would call and email me personally. No waiting games or dealing with associates. I would highly recommend her ! I’m thankful she was in my corner 100 percent! I knew when I met her I was in very good hands .

Nice but sharp! Just what I need
Tracy is what I was looking for when I decide to divorce. Somebody that is nice, knows exactly how you feel but in the same time also sharp and firm, which makes you know that she is dependable! I would say, she is not cheap, but definitely worth it!

Exceptional Lawyer
When my daughter was born, I was a single dad. I was scared, nervous, and unsure what the future would be like as a
single father. I sought legal counsel to help me meneuvor through what was most important to me, time with my daughter.
Tracy Rau helped me secure both Joint Legal Custody and Joint Physical Custody of my daughter. Due to Tracy's skillset
as a sharp, highly talented family lawyer, I was able to be present in my daughters life both now and into the future. Tracy Rau helped me get through a difficult time in my life and for that, I am forever grateful.

Wonderful!
From the moment I called her office at least two years ago, I knew she was right for my divorce/custody case and this was only after speaking to her paralegal Debby on the phone. Upon meeting Tracy I knew I would retain her, and the experience has been great ever since. She is to the point, which I love, and thanks to her efforts my visitation has been expanded and child support reduced. This battle is not a short one though, sadly, but luckily I have Tracy and her team to help me and my kids get through this.

Tracy Makes the Impossible Possible!
I was referred to Tracy several years ago by my former attorney who went on to be a Family Court Judge. Given the time sensitive matter, Tracy was able to see me immediately regarding a post divorce action. The initial consultation lasted for more than 2 hours as the matters were very detailed and complicated. There was a great deal of history and legal action for Tracy to be brought up to speed on. Tracy answered every question without hesitation, providing me with the good, the bad, and the ugly regarding all of the details. I have to say, Tracy was nothing other than brilliant concerning these matters. As we expected, the matters were very "messy" and time consuming. Tracy was never one to sugar coat anything. I was always aware of the best and worst case scenarios. The proceedings took some time to work through the system. During that time, Tracy returned every phone call and answered every email. She was always very patient and very kind. Ultimately, through her knowledge, skill, and perseverance, we prevailed with a positive outcome.
Since my initial consultation several years ago, I have continued to consult with Tracy regarding family law issues concerning ongoing post divorce actions. As always, each situation is handled and maintained with the utmost professionalism and kindness. Tracy is definitely an attorney that is going to stand by your side and truly go the extra mile. She truly makes the impossible possible.

Fantastic Attorney Who Will Fight For You!
Tracy is a fantastic attorney. She has a great relationship with other attorneys in town and knows family law better than most lawyers in this city. She is reasonably priced and will take care of you. Any time I ever called the office or sent her an email, she was always quick to respond. Her staff is fantastic and maintained regular communication with me. I highly recommend Tracy for your family law needs. Schedule a consultation with her at the very least and you will understand why she has so many 5-star reviews. She has earned that rating with her hands-on style and no-nonsense presence in the courtroom. You will be very thankful that you hired her!

Professional and detail oriented
I retained Tracy for what turned out to be an uncontested divorce, but the opposing party was very angry with the outcome. Tracy fought for me in an extremely professional and detailed manner and all of my needs were met. She also took time when the clerk's office lost our decree to file for another one. The original one was found before the second filing was placed before the judge. Tracy also spoke for me in a situation after the divorce where the opposing party was not complying with the decree. I would definitely recommend her in any family law situation. Tracy is experienced, logical, professional and kind.

She'll drop everything to take care of you
We were referred to Tracy after my long-time family law attorney became a judge and could no longer represent us. We found ourselves in an unfortunate situation which required immediate attention. In our eyes, it could not wait. Tracy dropped everything for us. She moved around appointments and cleared her calendar to give 100% of her time and attention to work on our case. She worked well into the night more than once when many other attorneys would have "clocked out" at 5:00 pm. She took our calls and replied to our emails promptly. There wasn't ever a moment where we felt in the dark about what was going on. We appreciated how much of her presence we felt during that time (the calls & emails came from her and not someone else). I heard it said once that "compassion is their hurt in your heart". She was just that - compassionate.

Love Working with Tracy
Tracy worked great on my divorce as the opposing attorney did little to facilitate the process for a quick resolve, Tracy did her best to try and get my divorce done as quickly as possible. Tracy is knowledgeable and is quick to respond back to any questions. The girls in the office also did a wonderful job by having my papers in order and filed in a timely manner, The girls made you feel comfortable and would get back to you with any questions quickly. I felt at ease while discussing my case with Tracy and was able to talk to her as if she was my best friend. I would definitely would recommend Tracy

Blessing
Tracy has been a true blessing and best lawyer for my family... I had originally started with one unpleasant lawyer/practice that charged me astronomical amounts of fees, put myself and children through scrutiny, just to find out we had months and months to go. It was time to find someone that believed in me and my case. In walked Tracy, she took control from the very beginning. She had confidence and showed no tolerance or compromise for other party. I had no doubt that with Tracy my case would be and remain in my favor. Which happily they did and this happened a short period of time. My children have happily been in my custody full time for the past years. Thank you so much Tracy!

Tracy did an excellent job handling my divorce case
I hired Tracy during the past year (Oct 2013-Oct 2014) to represent me in my divorce case. She offered sound advice and also provided me a lot of options based on her exceptional knowledge of the Nevada laws, courts, and judges. Tracy and her staff are all highly professional and very responsive. The outcome of my case met my expectations. I would not hesitate to recommend her to friends.
