Tracy McNeill Pullan graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Anthropology from the University of Texas, Austin in 1999. After working and travelling abroad, she made a life changing decision to follow a long family tradition of becoming a lawyer. She attended the University of Houston Law Center. Much like her great grandfather Frank B. Potter, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas, she found herself called to public service and accepted a job with the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office as an Assistant District Attorney (ADA.)
Due to her training and experience as a Prosecutor, combined with the relationships she has forged with Judges and Prosecutors alike, she has been able to achieve tremendous results for her clients. Her strongest attributes are her strong work ethic, her ability to simplify complicated issues, and her deep believe in justice.
