Very satisfied

Tracy helped me navigate a very difficult legal situation. She is very clear and knowledgeable about family law in Washington. She also went above and beyond her duties to help me with my case.

administrative law matter

After feeling bullied for 2 years by the state's incorrect CPS finding that I neglected a child, I had won my hearing to get the finding overturned. But when the state appealed, I had no more $ for my original representation and knew I wanted to respond. It was the holidays and i really had run out ...of $. I came across Tracy and she not only took my case at New Year's, but she also astounded me with her honesty, thoroughness, and sheer speed at which she completed the response! And eventhough she came into my complicated case agter the hearing itself, Ms Reid had no trouble catching up. She also worked on a sliding scale so I could afford her services. Needless to say, I won (yay!!) And DEL has cleared my background and now I can have my career back! I would absolutely recommend Ms. Tracy Reid for any administrative law issue. I can only imagine that she would offer the same high standard in other legal matters.

Ms. Reid took the stress out of a messy situation

Tracy was the perfect lawyer for me. She was firm with me and helped me take the emotional piece out a very emotional situation. When I felt like caving in she was there to pick me up and get me back on the right track. I feel like a new gal. I guess I didn't realize how much weight I was bearing!... She is a great person and a fabulous lawyer .

High-quality legal representation on a shoestring budget

After years of battling my well-to-do ex with seemingly limitless resources, I was financially wiped out. I tried representing myself with nearly disastrous results. Tracy was a saving grace. When she confidently accepted my messy case with a very short timeframe, I knew I had found the right lawy...er. She both listened to me and gave me hard truths. Tracy is a highly experienced litigator who knew all the key experts in my case. She prevailed against my ex's high-priced legal team on a shoestring budget. My Champion!

Smart, wise, and empathetic legal counsel

Tracy is a smart, wise, empathetic, yet no-nonsense, attorney who will listen to you and represent your interests. I would hire her again and again. But I hope that I won't have to.
