About Tracy
Biography
I approach the law as a calling rather than a business. I help people who are in need, Money has never been the most important aspect of the job to me. In fact. I was disciplined for trying to help a single mom get to her husband in jail so he could sign papers before he went to prison for custody of his children from another relationship who had no mother. I always go the extra mile, but am not the lawyer for you if you want a babysitter. If you want knowlegable, compassionate and precise representation then call me at your earliest convenience. If you desire a profile look me up in the Spokesman Review archives and you will see most the homocide trials and other serious cases I have handled. A mere handful of attorneys in Spokane have my experience.

Do yourself of favor
Tracy did not act within reasoable diligence or promptness in representing me. Tracy is the king of procrastination; draging out my charges for two years and using the maximum amount of contiuences allowed. Tracy did not keep me informed about the status of the case nor did he bother to take any time...
Tracy Scott Collins's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have known Tracy Collins almost 20 years. We tried a first degree assault case together about 15 years ago and have worked together on cases several times since then. Tracy is an exceptional trial lawyer. I would not hesitate to have him represent a friend or family member in trial. On more than one occasion I have heard seasoned dectectives say that they would hire Tracy if they ever got in trouble. Tracy is on the short list of exceptionally gifted trial attorneys in Spokane."

Reprimand issued in WA, 2012
updated on 07/23/2019This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
“Reprimanded in 2012 for trying to take a clients wife, a former legal assistant, up to see him in the Spokane County jail to fill out a parenting plan before he went to prison. 2017 reprimand for a $15 overdraft in trust account that turned out to be the bank’s fault. Never disciplined for any conduct with any current or former client. Read my reviews! My clients always have access to me and my relationship with each client is built on trust, hard work.”
