About Tracy
Tracy Green arrived at law school after studying economics. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Arizona State University in 1984 and a J.D. from the University of Arizona the same year. Those credentials set the stage for an early career spent inside courtrooms and later in private practice.
Her first legal years were spent in judicial chambers. In 1987 she served as a judicial law clerk to Justice William Holohan at the Arizona Supreme Court and also worked for Judge Contreras at the Arizona Court of Appeals. Those clerkships provided a close view of appellate decision-making and the pace of judicial work.
Green moved into private practice soon after. In 1988 she joined Lewis A mato as an attorney. She later spent time at McDermott Will & Emery in 2001, where she worked on matters consistent with the firm’s larger litigation and regulatory practice. In 2004 she departed to start her own firm, founding Green & Associates and building a practice that reflects the variety of her earlier experience.
Her bar admissions include California and the federal courts of the 9th and 2nd Circuits. She has been a member of the American Bar Association since 1988. Her professional memberships suggest the subjects that commonly occupy her practice. They include the California Society for Health Care Lawyers, the American Health Lawyers Association, and California Lawyers for Criminal Justice. She also holds memberships in criminal defense organizations and a range of local and national bar groups. On several nonprofit and professional boards she serves alongside health care and law colleagues, including the California Naturopathic Doctors Association and local community organizations.
Colleagues say Green’s years in appellate chambers and large firm settings inform how she approaches litigation and regulatory questions. She brings courtroom experience, familiarity with federal and state appellate procedures, and long-standing relationships in California legal circles. Her work touches on health care regulation, professional licensing issues, and criminal defense matters that intersect with those areas.
Today she practices at Green & Associates. Her office continues to take cases that involve health care law and criminal defense, representing clients before state and federal tribunals and in administrative proceedings.
