AN EXTRAORDINARY ATTORNEY WHO SHATTERS ALL OF THE STEREOTYPES

I have been fortunate to have known Tracy Green, her astute associates and staff for eight years. Historically, attorneys have been jokingly regarded as charlatans, stemming from a long legacy of distrust. Until, of course, you need one. Tracy Green is the one you NEED! She is a disarmingly humble, ...honest and brilliant attorney. It then follows that a talented lawyer, with unparalleled client-focus, constitutes the best of all attorneys: Smart, veritable and passionate. Given her tenure in the industry and proven track record, it's no surprise Tracy Green is revered by clients, colleagues and administrators, alike. From our first meeting, she rejected the standard hierarchical attorney-client relationship. When I raised concerns about the strategy she would pursue, Tracy Green genuinely welcomed and sometimes adopted my input! When my contribution was less helpful, she politely explain why it "may not be useful’. Tracy Green was always organized, responsive and thorough. Whether she achieved this balance by arriving über early, remaining eerily late or by sharply curtailing her personal activities, she always made my case her priority. I knew she was fully vested in my case. In an incident more suited for urban legend than a legal matter, that suspicion was later confirmed. We were in court when the judge inexplicably assessed a sizable bond. I was devastated. Without hesitation, Tracy Green dashed out of the building, down the street to a bail bondsman and secured a bond, using her own funds! Who does that? Attorneys clamor to get paid, not to extend credit. At the time, I thought my experience unique. Yet, other clients expressed similar anecdotes. By every measure, Tracy Green is a stellar attorney! Part strategist, part emissary, Tracy Green garnered every available resource to win my case, including requesting a one-on-one with the district attorney. She worked tirelessly to prevail against seemingly insurmountable odds. Ultimately it was her talent and moxie that secured the desired outcome. Tracy Green cinched my perception as a caring, resolute, attorney for whom I am eternally grateful. When you combine all of her uncommon traits you get a glimpse of a remarkable professional!

Client Review

Tracy Green was assigned to assist me with a breach of contract issue with a private medical practice over 10 years ago. She at the time was a junior associate in a group practice and had been referred to me by a hospital administrator. Although the hospital was represented by opposing counsel, Trac...y had garnered such respect that the hospital began to refer preferred contacts to her. In my particular case, Tracy negotiated a very favorable settlement despite an team of opposing counsel. I subsequently retained her as a resource and she is my go to person for all matters within her area of expertise. In my business practice, this has primarily been related to contract disputes and negotiations with small and large group medical practices, as well as third party administrators such as United health, and the office of the sate insurance commissioner. I've not required her services for criminal matters but I'm familiar with others who have also referenced her expertise in this arena for both state and federal matters. My most frequent interactions are more of the quick call in anticipation of an issue. Tracy has always been prompt to not only respond, but also research the issue, and provide a concise, vetted, level headed summation of the scenario. She is an attorney who is able to assess and command a situation so that no matter whether your in a favorable position or less desirable one, you can sleep easier knowing that you're well briefed of your options and well represented.

Outstanding Attorney

I’m a registered Architect with over 30 years of design and building experience and have worked on both the East and West Coast of the United States. I was fortunate to meet Tracy about 13 years ago shortly after moving to the greater Los Angeles area. Tracy came highly recommended by an old friend w...ho she helped navigate a serious legal matter. Since meeting Tracy, Green Associates has provided me with valuable legal advice on more than one occasion. Three times to be exact, I wouldn’t seek advice from anyone else. I have grown to appreciate her smart, thoughtful and thorough approach to solving complex legal issues. Her quick grasp of concepts and details is second only to her stellar research abilities. I have worked with several attorneys prior to working with Tracy and she is by far the most authentic, brilliant and conscientious attorney I have ever worked with. In one case Green Associates helped me resolve a complex real estate / business Partnership with an old friend on the East Coast. With Tracy’s help I was able to resolve this mismanaged real estate case and walk away with funds that I honestly thought were gone forever. Tracy researched the case and stated that I had solid grounds to bring my partner to court for mismanagement. I knew we could win this court case with Tracy at my side. I resisted taking this route since my family and my partner’s family have been friends for over 50 years and live in the same town. I wanted to avoid any undue tension between our respective families. Once again, Tracy was able to negotiate a settlement that was acceptable to me while sparing my former Partners reputation, not to mention sparing his family from the trauma of a law suit. Thankfully Tracy provided me enough facts and evidence to make an informed decision. Years later I know I made the correct decision with Tracy’s legal support and advice. I haven’t always been in a position to pay Tracy immediately for her legal services. Tracy understands that we all go through difficult periods in our lives and she is always there to help and work out a fair solution. We even bartered services on an earlier case which helped me out tremendously. What other attorney would do this, especially in Los Angeles? This speaks volumes to her kindness, strong character and love of her profession. If anyone suggests otherwise they are probably not being truthful. On a more personal note, I know Tracy as an incredibly dedicated mom who despite her busy work schedule always finds time for her family and time to volunteer in her community. Tracy is an outstanding individual and someone I admire. I feel very fortunate to have met Tracy and I am happy to now call her my friend. I highly recommend Green Associates for all of your business or personal legal matters.

TRACY GREEN "THE RIGHT ATTORNEY"

PLEASE EXCUSE MY USE OF ALL CAPS. I HAVE KNOWN TRACY FOR OVER 12 YAERS. TRACY GREEN ACCEPTED A CASE FOR ME PRO BONO. IN THE EXCECUTION OF HER PROFFESION, TRACY WENT THE DISTANCE FOR ME AS IF SHE WAS BEING PAYED TOP DOLLAR. TRACY WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN THE RECOVERY OF MY LIFE AS IT WAS TO BE FOR NOW AND ...FUTURE OUTLOOK. HER FILEINGS IN COURT AND PREPAREING MYSELF AS TO WHAT TO EXPECT EACH TIME WE STEPPED INTO COURT LEFT ME AT AWE WHEN THE OTHER SIDE AND THE JUDGE HAD THIER SAY. I FELT SO IMPOWERED KNOWING THAT THERE WERE NO SURPRIZES ONLY A FEELING OF "WOW", I HAVE THE RIGHT ATTORNEY REPRESENTING ME ! I HAD NEVER IN ANY TIME IN A COURT OF LAW ACTUALLY WITNESS A JUDGE THAT CLEARLY LOOKED AT THE OTHER SIDE AND SARCASTICALLY RIDICULE THEM THEN, LOOK TO TRACY GREEN AND CALMLY GRANT TRACY THE AUTHORITY TO PROCEED WITH THE CASE AS SHE WAS WELL PREPARED TO DO. I FELT THAT TRACY AND I KNEW EACH OTHER PERSONALLY ALTHOUGH, WE HAD NEVER MET BEFORE THIS CASE. TRACY GREEN HAS REPRESENTED ME IN OTHER CASES EVEN WHEN I WAS NOT PHYSICALLY ABLE TO BE PRESENT IN ORDER TO REPRESENT MYSELF DUE TO INJURIES, AND SHE WON! TRACY IS AN EXTRAORDINARY ATTORNEY! IF THERE WAS A FEE FOR BEING HOSPITABLE, KIND AND TRUTHFUL, EVEN WHEN SOMETIMES WE MAY NOT WANT TO HEAR THE TRUTH, I WOULD GLADLY PAY IT. TRACY SHOOTS STREIGHT FROM THE HIP, NO HOLDS BARED. AGAIN THANK YOU TRACY, MY LIFE IS NOT ALL ICE CREAM AND CAKE BUT, THANKS TO YOU, I AM AT LEAST INVITED TO THE PARTY!
