Speak with Tracy

The first fifteen minutes cost nothing

Tell her what is going on and she will come back to you with times. If you have not started the process yet, that call is free — enough of an orientation to know what you are walking into. If you are already in a divorce, there is more to cover than fifteen minutes allows, so that goes to the 60-minute strategy consultation instead.

  • She reads your file herself. Nobody gets handed to an associate.
  • Massachusetts representation — Norfolk, Plymouth and Bristol counties, or by Zoom.
  • A hearing date or a service deadline? Say so and it moves up the list.

Rather not fill in a form?

Pick a time on her calendar yourself and skip the back and forth.

What she actually does

One practice area, three ways in

Divorce, juvenile and family law is 100% of the practice — which is another way of saying nobody here is learning it on your case.

Divorce representation

Contested and uncontested divorce in the Massachusetts Probate and Family Court — filing through judgment, with the financial record built before the first hearing.

Book a call →

Child custody & parenting time

Legal and physical custody, parenting plans and the schedules people actually live by, argued on what the record shows rather than on who sounds angrier.

Book a call →

Strategy consultations

One hour on your own facts: immediate steps, the deadlines you cannot miss, and what settlement would realistically look like from here.

$500 · 60 minutes →

Not in Massachusetts?

Representation is Massachusetts only, because that is where Tracy is admitted. The Divorce Bootcamp and one-to-one coaching are open worldwide.

How she works

Three things clients say every time

01

Highly personalized service

A solo practice by choice. The lawyer you meet is the lawyer who reads your file, writes your motion and stands up at your hearing. Nobody gets handed to an associate.

02

Clear and assertive presence

Calm with you, direct in the courtroom. Clients describe the same thing over and over: compassionate outside the room, fierce inside it.

03

Maximizing the outcome

Preparation is the strategy. The organized side wins more often than the loud one, and organized starts long before the first hearing date.

The record

Numbers you can go and check

Thirty-four years, one practice area, and a record that is published where anyone can read it.

“If you don't hire Tracy, you better hope your ex doesn't hire her. My ex is intelligent and driven, so I knew whoever I hired better be at least as intelligent and confident. Tracy was the perfect lawyer in both situations. She displays confidence, compassion, and fairness.”

“It is not often that you think of yourself as ‘lucky’ while going through a divorce, but having Tracy as my lawyer was one of those times. She was calming and compassionate towards me when I needed it, yet was fierce in court when it was called for. She is extremely organized and detail oriented, always one step ahead of where we were going.”

About Tracy

A trial lawyer who went and studied the dynamics of why people behave the way they do in divorce litigation

Tracy D. Galloway, Esq., M.A., Massachusetts divorce and child custody attorney

“After decades helping families through the legal system, I realized what most people need first isn't a lawyer — it's straightforward information about what judges need, and what they don't.”

Massachusetts bar, 1992. Thirty-four years of child welfare litigation alongside a private family practice — paternity, custody and guardianship — including ten years as a partner at Nasios & Galloway, LLP. In 2017 she finished a Master of Arts in Psychoanalysis at the Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis. She is a daughter of divorce herself, and a divorced mother of two adult sons, which is its own qualification.

  • B.A. Vassar College (1986)
  • J.D. Northeastern University School of Law (1992)
  • M.A. Psychoanalysis, Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis (2017)
  • CPCS Trial & Appellate Panels (1998–2026)
  • Avvo Clients' Choice (2013)
“I called Tracy with some tough coercive control questions a client was facing. She got the dynamics instantly, walked me through the legal side with real depth, and made me laugh along the way. That combination — sharp knowledge and genuine warmth — is rare.”

Before you book

Questions people ask first

What happens on the free 15-minute call?

If you have not started the process, you describe the situation and Tracy tells you what it actually needs and roughly what that costs — sometimes the answer is that you do not need a lawyer yet at all. If you are already in a divorce, book the 60-minute strategy consultation instead; there is more to cover than fifteen minutes allows.

What is the difference between the free call and the $500 consultation?

The free call is for people who have not begun yet — a quick orientation so you know what is coming. Once you are actually in a divorce process there is too much to cover in fifteen minutes, so that goes straight to the 60-minute strategy consultation: legal advice on your own facts, your immediate steps, the deadlines you cannot miss, and what settlement realistically looks like from where you are standing.

Do you take cases outside Massachusetts?

No. Representation is Massachusetts only, because that is where Tracy is admitted. If you are elsewhere, the Divorce Bootcamp and one-to-one coaching are open worldwide — they are education rather than legal advice.

How is a retainer set?

Case by case, based on what the matter is likely to require, and confirmed in writing before any work begins. Attorney time is billed against it at $500 an hour.

Can you help if I have already filed on my own?

Yes. Coming in mid-case is common — sometimes for the whole matter, sometimes for one hearing or one motion. The strategy consultation is usually the right first step so you are not paying for a full review you do not need.

Ready when you are

Fifteen minutes will tell you more than a week of searching

The first call costs nothing and is long enough to tell you what your situation actually needs — and whether it needs a lawyer at all.
