This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Dishonest and Disorganized

My sister’s divorce and aftermath dragged on probably three or four times as long as it should have and her three kids are completely angry at my sister (and not her ex who just tried to live his life and stay out of court until traci would pull him back in many times a year. Kids can tell who start...s stuff) purely because Traci kept filing complaints etc that my sister didn’t even agree with (and then Traci would say she misunderstood my sister’s objective and bill more hours to reverse course). She took a normal middle class family for a ride until she couldn’t milk them any longer because the kids were over eighteen. Every time I helped my sister shop around for a new attorney to change over to we got the same earful about traci Carrillo, polite to other attorneys but super unimpressive and always scrambling last minute so hard to work with. She should have gone to a normal not for profit law school where they taught ethics and responsibilities to your client.

Thanks Traci!

We hired Traci to help our nephew with a pending criminal charge. She was great. Very professional and caring. Traci was very clear on what her fees would be based on how far the case went and if an investigator was needed. The good news is she was able to get the charges dropped against our nephew. ...He was very happy with the representation she provided. We highly recommend her services.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
