Great experience! So, without going into my divorce saga (which after 2 years finally ended this week), I need to praise my intelligent, ethical, strategic, fair, honest, humble, and kind, pitbull lawyer Tracy Rizzo. I initially hired a suburban lawyer in June 2019 who was not really a divorce specialist, thinking because the rates were lower, "it will all be fine," but it was not. I was a bit worried because my ex-husband's lawyer came off as very misogynistic, and his and my ex's bully tactics were awful. Tracy came HIGHLY recommended by a friend (a top Chicago plaintiff's lawyer). I was worried I was going to get the same but WAS I so pleasantly SURPRISED! This woman is incredible!! Strategic but fair in her approach. I told her once, "Tracy, you are just pitbull... but an ethical and fair pitbull." She takes no garbage and left my ex scrambling for another attorney, one where he would then show up with 2 attorneys, and he got double-billed for that, I am sure. Eventually, he seemingly got passed off to the "junior attorney" in the firm, though. Our divorce should have been over very quickly, but (now) ex-husband made it difficult. His new lawyer sent out all kinds of subpoenas, primarily to harass me, which is how I felt. Tracy would do her magic, file what she needed to do, and stopped them! She is BRILLIANT. She is a great protector and took no prisoners doing so. If you know ANYONE looking for the greatest attorney in the Chicago area, I will not hesitate for one second to say TRACY RIZZO! She knows the laws inside and out, she is in solo practice so that you won't get passed off to the "junior attorney," and she is empathetic. I did not call her all of the time. I let her work her magic. She did listen to my concerns and sometimes would email me at 2 a.m. if she could not sleep because my case was on her mind. She worked her butt off this past Saturday and Sunday trying to negotiate deals, as our trial (yep, trial) was fast approaching. Luckily, we were able to settle out of court finally! Seriously, I KNOW my outcome would not have been nearly this good without Tracy on my side. She is "simply the best, better than all the rest"... as the song goes. She has my undying gratitude. Again, if you know anyone looking for a great family attorney, not smug but cheerful, organized, real, intelligent, and just a really good person... it's TRACY RIZZO for the win! THANK YOU, TRACY!!!!!!!!

I am grateful for the shining recommendation of Tracy. Her reputation preceded her. She demonstrated her extensive knowledge and experience in family law through her vast competency and professionalism. She always put my best interest at the forefront of her efforts. She is the BEST in my book!

From the first phone consultation I knew that Tracy would be the right lawyer to handle my divorce. She clearly explained the process and what to reasonably expect moving forward. Throughout the entire ordeal Tracy kept me informed and well prepared. She is honest, professional, diligent, patient and when needed, extremely tenacious! I appreciated her honesty in that she never sugar coated the facts and based everything on the reality of Law. My now ex wife's attorney was completely and totally outmatched! If you must go through a divorce, don't even think twice. Hire Tracy and rest assured that you are in best possible hands.

From the first time I spoke with Tracy to the very last phone call she was fighting for what was best for me. She showed she cared for me and wanted what was fair and right. Tracy checked in on me even when it wasn’t about the case. She was aggressive and sharp. In court she cuts right through the opposing side’s nonsense. She was always honest and upfront with me. She is very knowledgeable as well as experienced and is somebody you want to have on your side. I am so glad Tracy was recommended to me because she exceeded all expectations. If you want a lovable pit bull on your side. Tracy is it.

In my case, Ms. Rizzo’s reputation preceded her. She was recommended by a relative via the recounting of her courtroom exploits. No one ever wants to go through something like a divorce, but when I had to, I made a beeline for her office. Ms. Rizzo is a consummate professional and is a master of her craft. She cuts right through the superfluous and delves into the facts. She does not relent – akin to a Pitbull - and will fight tooth and nail for you. I saw this as she decimated the opposing counsel in my case (here is looking at you AWO). As a result, the judge saw through the mendacity presented by the opposing party and further stated that they would not have any credibility in the remaining part of the proceedings. Astute, cunning, caring, and relentless. These are some of the qualities that exemplify Ms. Rizzo. I hope you never find yourself going through a divorce, but if you do, you know who to call – Ms. Tracy Rizzo!

I hired Tracy for a divorce matter. She came highly recommended and lived up to every expectation. Her extensive knowledge and experience provided me with multiple strategies, along with the strengths and weaknesses, and likely outcomes of each. She is personable, direct, has no ego, focuses on what is realistic, and uses plain language that I could understand. My matter was concluded to my complete satisfaction. I highly recommend Tracy.

My first divorce attorney was a competent nice guy, too nice. My ex’s attorney was a pit bull. I realized I needed an attorney that would fight for an equitable division of assets. Fortunately, I discovered and hired Tracy. Not only was she extremely knowledgeable, she consistently kept me informed and patiently explained the divorce process to me. She definitely cares about her clients and will fight for you. The highest compliment I can give her is after the divorce, my ex asked “why did I hired her? She was relentless!” I highly recommend her.

As a family law attorney, Tracy represents a complete package: She is very sharp, organised, and she bears good amount of aggression, which in my view you really want in your attorney. That being said, she also displays very rate qualities for an attorney which makes her rare breed - she is very personable, she CARES and she wants to fight for you. Also, and this is very important, while she is very busy, she is making all the efforts to make herself very accessible. I honestly do not know why would someone want to hire another attorney who is not Tracy. I can not say enough how much I recommend her.

I talked to Tracy for the first time 3 days before my first court appearance on a Friday afternoon. By the end of day that Friday all the court documents where submitted. We talked over a holiday weekend to go offer details. I was impressed on how fast she took charge of my case. She was brilliant on the first day of court and continued to impress me to the end. At our last trial date, she was just brilliant on how she handled herself in court and covered every detail. Tracy is the Best at what she does and will take control of your case. I would not recommend anyone else. I just recently recommend Tracy to someone very close to me and I am confident she is best for him as well.
