As the youngest private investigator in the State of Illinois, Tracy Rizzo honed her powers of observation and attention to detail while still in high school. Six years later, as a law student clerking for a high profile divorce attorney, Ms. Rizzo discovered how her experience observing human behavior, her education grounded in ethics, and her knowledge of the law could be used to help others. In July of 2002, responding to the need for experienced, compassionate and resourceful representation in the emotionally-charged area of family law, Tracy Rizzo opened the doors of her own firm -- Law Offices of Tracy M. Rizzo, PC.

In explaining what made his daughter unique among divorce attorneys, internationally renowned (late) private investigator Ernie Rizzo said, "Most lawyers don't know anything about investigations. But she started as an investigator and knows what can happen."

Since her father passed away in October of 2006, Ms. Rizzo has felt a growing demand for quality private investigators in the Chicagoland area to provide litigation support to attorneys and services to individuals. In responding to that demand and with hope of carrying on her father's legacy, in November 2007, Ms. Rizzo created her detective agency -- Rizzo Investigations, Ltd.

In 1993, Ms. Rizzo earned an undergraduate degree from Dominican University in River Forest, Illinois and in 1996 received her law degree from The John Marshall Law School in Chicago. Ms. Rizzo obtained her Permanent Employee Registration Card (PERC) in 1989 and her full detective license in 1993, just as she was commencing her law school education.
