Traci Janeen Pickering

I hired Traci as my divorce attorney and it was the best decision ever. I specifically worked with Traci and 2 other attorneys in her firm, Jessica and Alexis, and they went above and beyond for me. Divorces are never easy, especially when opposing counsel and the soon to be ex are challening, but th...ey all went above and beyond and got me through to the finish line. They were kind and supportive of me through the entire process and I knew they had my back every step of the way. My divorce papers are signed, sealed and delivered and it's the best feeling. There are not enough words to express my gratitude for all they did for me. They are the best and I would highly recommend them to everyone.

Ms Pickering and Ms Colon were amazing throughout my entire divorce process. They answered every question thoroughly, always explained my options and had the understanding that this was a difficult and emotional time. The support Mello & Pickering gave me the year and a half I worked with them was am...azing. I will always be appreciative of Ms Pickering and Ms Colon.

Traci & Emily have a natural gift for law and their depth of knowledge is unmatched. Both are passionate about their profession, very honest, caring and most importantly really capable of defending their clients interest. I was impressed with their arguments when it matters. I strongly recommend Mell...o & Pickering for matters regarding Family Law.

When it comes to family law and choosing the best representation, there is only one firm to work with – Mello & Pickering. Traci, Jennifer and their staff are experienced, knowledgeable and professional. They care about you as an individual and work diligently to provide the best outcome for your sit...uation. I had a very complicated divorce, financial settlement and custody agreement. Tracy was there every step of the way with sound advice as she walked me through the legal process. Their intimate knowledge of the legal system, opposing counsel and the judges were critical in developing a strategy and delivering arguments that provided the best outcome. I highly recommend the firm of Mello & Pickering to everyone that approaches me with the need for counsel regarding Divorce and Family Law. They are the best in the business and I can’t thank them enough for what they’ve done for my family.

I engaged the services of Traci for a matter, which required some professional attention. In the course of our collaboration on the matter, I got a chance to learn much about Traci’s style, skills, ethics – which I will like to share – 1/ Traci is worth the rates that she charges. It is not only b...ecause of her superior legal mind, but also how she manages her time, and consequently, your expenses. She is a modern lawyer, knowing how to use email, word, and excel to improve her productivity in business (yes, I know how weird that sounds – but law is always a little behind modern times). Going to courts can be expensive, and there is always a fine balance between "selling the farm" to get a good representation and cutting corners. Working with Traci, I never felt that I was making such choices. 2/ Traci works to help people – If you are looking for services to “get even” with someone, she is most likely not your person. While she is very empathetic, I do not think she views providing the “sympathize, and then bill” types of legal services. Traci is a doer. She is action-oriented and will seek quickest path to resolve issues. 3/ Traci is smart, and she knows math: Ultimately, all negotiations come down to numbers. Traci does not belong to the class of apologists who view illiteracy in math as something just as insignificant as a bad golf swing. In times of closing deals, it helps a lot when your legal representation can keep up with numbers (to know if the offer is valid or not), without pulling out a calculator each time. 4/ Lastly, Traci cares about doing a fantastic job. All the times I met her for a face to face meeting, I wondered what was wrong (with me), since she was more passionate/stressed about *my* matter than me. It is vital for Traci to serve with excellence, and in all my interactions, I saw nothing but her achieving her own high bars of excellence.
