Bold • Tactical • Tenacious
Tracy has never been one to take the easy road, and that’s exactly why clients trust her when their lives feel most uncertain.

She loves consultations and is skilled at pairing each client with the right attorney, ensuring they feel seen, supported, and set up for success from the very beginning.
Outside of law, Tracy’s adventurous spirit shines. She co-hosts the podcast Rock That Relationship! and volunteers at elephant refuges in Thailand, experiences that reflect her curiosity, compassion, and joy in connecting with people (and animals) from all walks of life. Clients often say she is fascinating and wonderful to talk to, making even the toughest consultations feel approachable and empowering.
For clients facing the chaos of family law disputes, Tracy is not just an attorney, she’s a strategist, an advocate, and a force who helps them reclaim stability and move forward stronger.
