Picture yourself in the courtroom as the judge or jury announces a not guilty verdict. Or imagine your defense attorney stepping in long before your court date, negotiating with the prosecutor to secure a dismissal or reduce your charges to something far less serious. Achieving the best possible outcome is a strategy that has earned Tracey Wood & Associates a proven track record of success for clients facing serious criminal charges.
Having your criminal charges dismissed, reduced, or acquitted in a court of law is our sole purpose at Tracey Wood & Associates. We guide you through every step of the process so you can walk out of the courtroom with your life, dignity, and future restored without a criminal conviction on your permanent record.




Being charged with a crime does not mean you’ll be found guilty, convicted, or forced to spend your life paying the price for one single moment in time. People are often falsely accused of crimes, and other times misunderstandings or mistakes happen. In either situation, every person is protected by the Constitution, and your side of the story deserves to be heard with supporting evidence and a legal advocate who will protect you.
• Empower and educate you by helping you understand the law and your potential defenses
• Achieve the best possible outcome for your case through our decades of collective experience obtaining dismissals, reductions, and acquittals
• Help you avoid a conviction and a permanent criminal record
• Work toward regaining your life, dignity, and reputation
Preparing To Beat Your ChargesMost people don’t realize that they are as powerful as the opposing side. The secret to success in any criminal case is one thing, preparation. When it comes to winning in the courtroom, the best preparation leads to the best results. The side that knows more about the case is the side most likely to win. The criminal defense attorney who is better prepared than the opposing side, has a closer relationship with their client, and has a stronger grasp of the evidence, facts, and witnesses is the side that walks out of court with the outcome they seek.
The defense team at Tracey Wood & Associates systematically and exhaustively prepares every case as if it is going to trial from day one. That level of preparation has led to thousands of successful outcomes over the years.
When the defense team at Tracey Wood & Associates walks into a courtroom, they already know the judge’s preferences and tendencies, the police officers’ weaknesses and potential missteps, and any holes in the prosecution’s argument. This level of preparation and evidence enables the defense team to present your side of the story in a clear, compelling, and persuasive way in the courtroom.
The attorneys and support staff at Tracey Wood & Associates are here for you every step of the way.
Confidentially discussing your legal situation with our team is the first step toward regaining control of your life and stepping back into your own power and possibilities.
Tracey Wood & Associates offers free legal case evaluations in person, online, or over the phone. After this initial evaluation, we thoroughly investigate your case by talking with witnesses, collecting evidence, reviewing police reports, lab test results, body camera footage, surveillance videos, and court documents while looking for any mistakes or procedural errors. Like all of us, law enforcement and prosecutors make mistakes too. And we capitalize on those to help our clients win.
We use this information to build a persuasive narrative that explains your side of the story and presents you in the best possible light while attacking every weakness in the case against you.
With a strong narrative and solid factual evidence, we then bring your case to the negotiating table to convince the prosecutor to dismiss or reduce the charges against you. If they do not budge, our defense team prepares for trial, where the opposing side knows we have a winning history in both bench and jury trials.

Client M.R.
“I was a ball of nerves facing my third DUI offense. Penalties would have included big fines, a long drivers license suspension, an ignition lock, alcohol assessments and classes that would have cost a lot of money, and time in prison. I was nervous it would have cost me my job. Thankfully, the attorneys at Tracey Wood & Associates made sure none of that happened!”
