Tracy Tucker
Partner
Tracy A. Tucker is a partner in the Orange County office of Messner Reeves, where his practice focuses on litigation and insurance defense, including complex liability and fraud-related claims.
A seasoned trial attorney with more than 35 years of experience, Tracy has led over 60 jury trials and managed thousands of depositions, mediations, and arbitrations across California.
Before joining Messner Reeves, Tracy served as Litigation Director for a Los Angeles-based personal injury firm and spent over 30 years as a Senior Trial Attorney for several major insurance companies, including Fireman’s Fund, Liberty Mutual, and State Farm. His extensive background as an in-house trial lawyer gives him a unique understanding of risk evaluation, claims management, and effective litigation strategy. He also credits his four years “on the other side” with giving him valuable insight into how plaintiff lawyers operate: their approach to case selection, settlement, and trial strategy.
A proud California native, Tracy earned his J.D. from Whittier Law School and his B.A. in History from the University of California, Los Angeles.
Outside of his practice, Tracy remains involved in his community and credits his six years in military school, where he graduated as Battalion Commander and highest-ranking cadet officer, with shaping his disciplined and strategic approach to litigation.
1984: B.A. in History from the University of California, Los Angeles
