Client
I strongly advise anyone--especially people of color--to think twice before hiring Tracy Drake. Our experience was deeply disappointing and felt exploitative. We paid the full retainer, expecting fair and competent representation for a loved one facing serious charges. From the start, communication was nearly nonexistent. Tracy claimed that my loved one wanted to take the case to trial--only for us to find out he had never even spoken to her. That was the first red flag in a troubling pattern. She never visited him, wouldn't return calls or emails, and every time he tried to contact the office, someone named Victoria would rudely hang up on him. Tracy even went to court without letting the defendant appear, which left us completely in the dark. What's worse, she seemed more aligned with the prosecution than with her own client, pushing for payment while providing substandard, neglectful representation. Eventually, she withdrew as counsel after doing very little to help his case. It felt like we were used for money and left defenseless. She might show up for other clients, but based on our experience, there was no real advocacy, no respect, and no justice. A truly disappointing and disheartening experience from someone who is supposed to defend people's rights.
