The good news is that after six years of going back and forth litigating in two different states and having four attorneys, my daughter is with me now. All of my gratitude goes to God, Traci, Kari, and their legal team. She is the only custodial attorney I will ever recommend to someone. As a mother having zero idea as to how my daughter’s well-being has been, Traci and her associate, Kari, have been able to demonstrate authentic humanity and empathy towards my situation, whilst maintaining a non-negotiable fierce demeanor and laser sharp focus in the courtroom. I strongly believe that Traci is an angel that is beyond equipped with her God-given litigatory weapons and determination. In your most devastating and crucial moments, she is there working so, so hard for you. She has brought humanity into the courtroom but is vicious in debate, which is what makes her the perfect attorney.

I worked with Traci on establishing paternity and requesting 100% physical custody of my 3 year old daughter. Her mother has been battling severe mental illness and is not capable of parenting at the moment. Traci was incredible to work with. Top notch communication, always responded quickly to any questions I had. Worked with Tara as well during the final hearing and Tara was well prepared and knew all of the facts like the back of her hand. I would 100% recommend Traci Koster and her team. I couldn't envision the process having gone any better. Don't mess around with something so important. Call Koster Legal and you won't be disappointed.

I am so glad I chose Traci and her team to represent me. Table stakes in a divorce is competency in the law. The difference maker for me is Traci's approach -- she is calm, she is fair, and she brings those qualities and approach to all parties in the process -- me, opposing counsel and by proxy, my ex. The impact of that to the journey was huge. Traci and her team calmly guided me through the most disruptive event in my life. Grateful.

Divorce is death. Coping with death can be very stressful. This happened to me. Thankfully, and providentially, I was introduced to family law attorney, Traci Koster, to help guide me through this very difficult time. She was exactly what I needed. Tough, authentic, realistic, sympathetic, detailed but simentanesouly able to look at the wholistic picture; reminding me of the end game - she was great! She, by far, sets a standard for other attorneys to follow, especially in regard to leading in integrity. She fought for me when I did not feel like fighting any longer. As a result of her diligence, she won what I wanted and even obtained far more than I could have ask for at the end of my divorce. My children and I will forever be grateful for Traci's unmatched advocacy! -Miranda

I found Traci when no other lawyer could help me with my divorce, which was complex. She listened to my concerns and understood exactly what I needed to see happen. She always returned my phone calls/emails immediately, and gave me great counsel. With Traci's help and hard work, I was finally able to get a divorce with everything I asked for. She is amazing!!!

In the beginning, I did not want to hire a lawyer. But when things become complicated and the law is not what you are familiar with, sometimes it is for the best. I am glad I hired Traci. She was referred by a family friend. After a long, grueling process, Traci pulled through for me. I am hot headed, hot tempered and she was able to calm me and get me through what was the worst part of my life. She reassured me every time I let my ex get to me. She does not sugar coat things which I appreciate. She tells you how it is and what is expected. She helped me build a great case. She was quick to call or email back with any concerns or questions that I had. I hope to never go through this again, but if I had too, I know I can count on Traci.

I reached out to an attorney friend in South Carolina when seeking a divorce attorney in the Tampa area. He took some time, did his research and recommended Traci Koster. She exceeded the outstanding reputation she has earned that led my friend to recommend her as his top choice from 8 hours away. From our first meeting via Zoom until the day my divorce was official, Traci was everything I could have asked for, guiding me through the process of ending a 31-year marriage which was irrevocably broken. There were times when my now Ex frustrated me tremendously. Traci had the great ability to "talk me off the ledge" and help me stay focused on the big picture instead of getting lost in the minutiae. She was the ultimate professional, with tremendous people skills, which made it easy for me to talk through every aspect of the divorce. In the end, I was extremely happy with the settlement Traci negotiated. I have heard horror stories from friends who have gone through a divorce and have spent a fortune without getting the kind of results I got by working with Traci. I realize every time I hear another story how fortunate I was to find my way to her. Without hesitation, I give Traci Koster my highest recommendation.

Attorney Koster represented us in a dependency case for our nephew, whom we have custody of. From the first day we spoke, Traci Koster, understood our case. We immediately connected. After speaking to countless of people leading to dead ends within the system, se provided us with a stellar representation. Her team (MJ, Shawn and Madison), diligently worked with us to ensure all of our exhibits were completed and filed with the court in a timely manner. We came across her firm just a short month before our trial date. Throughout the entire process, not only did they exhibit consistent professionalism, during our trial she was precise and knew how to handle every curve ball that was thrown by the opposing party. We won our case and justice finally was served for our little guy. We are now moving into the adoption process and couldn't be happier.

Traci Koster is one of the great! She was the shining light through years of abusive darkness. She took our story and fought for me to help protect my child. She understood everything ahead of her to accomplish this huge task ahead. She continued to shine when I felt defeated and in turn she helped me to win a battle that I could not see the end through. I am so blessed to have had her represent myself and my child. I cannot thank her enough but I can definitely tell others how wonderful she truly is. I recommend her with all of my heart! Do not stop fighting for what is best for your child and definitely use Traci to fight for you! Thank you.

We have had the blessing of having Traci represent our family on a couple of occasions. After meeting with other lawyers, I was referred to Traci from a good friend and immediately knew she was the one we needed in our time of turmoil. Traci is amazing! Her assurances through the process were comforting and really helped our family throughout. Traci is incredibly knowledgeable and she goes above and beyond every expectation. And a note for Seth her partner who needed to step in for court, he was just as much a blessing! He was a force to be reckoned with. He made sure to know the case inside and out and was ray of light in our time of doubt and fear. So a huge thank you to both for just being the best and giving us hope during such a horrible time.

After being told by my wife that she no longer wished to be married, I consulted with and hired Traci Koster. During my consultation, Traci used the acronym P.E.A.C.E. to explain the categories of steps involved with a dissolution of marriage. This was a very helpful step that assisted me in understanding what was going to take place over the next 9 months. Traci was thorough. An attorney that I consulted with prior to meeting with Traci, was not as thorough. When I say Traci was thorough, I was scheduled for an hour consultation that lasted 2 hours and 15 minutes. Being thorough did not end the day of the consultation. She was not caught off guard with anything that took place during my case. She was prepared every step of the way and she made sure that I understood what was going to take place every step of the way. Traci was available. Every time that I reached out to Traci with a question or concern, she was available to answer my question and completely addressed everything that I brought to her attention. Traci was knowledgeable. It did not matter if it was the initial case filing, completing my financial affidavit, the case management conference, mediation, the marital settlement agreement, the final dissolution of marriage and everything between. The way Traci explained it, is how it proceeded. Traci is genuine. The first time that you meet Traci and you listen to her out look on life, family and her work, you know that she is genuine and that you are in good hands. Traci showed me over the last 9 months that she really cared about me (the person that was going through an unpleasant situation) and that she took a vested interest in getting the best outcome for me. Her genuine demeanor made our attorney/client relationship feel more like a friendship.

I can’t thank this group enough for helping me with a very difficult divorce! They are experienced and professional! I highly recommend them!! My divorce was very difficult. Me and my husband had two properties one he had before we got married and the other one we had together. Traci and her legal assistant Shawn was absolutely amazing. They were always there to answer any questions that. I had, emails , texts messages, Traci or Shawn always respond immediately to me. I have Traci‘s cell phone number if I needed to reach her after hours. She stayed after 5 to meet with me because I work until 5:00 Pm in Bradenton Florida. It took eight months but with the A team behind me. I walked away very happy. I got his house that he had before we got married. Nelson law group is the best in Tampa. I really appreciate what you guys did for me Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
