Tracy Choate

Tracy was born in South Africa and graduated from high school early at the age of 16, to follow her dream of becoming a US citizen. She graduated two years later from CFNI with an Associate Degree in Theology, leading youth ministry and teaching Sunday School at her church. After obtaining her permanent residence card in 1989, she received a wonderful opportunity, through a dear friend in her church, to be trained as a paralegal at a large insurance defense law firm in Fort Worth, and began her legal career. Several years later she joined a law firm that exclusively handled personal injury cases. From 1994-2008, she led a team of paralegals, nursing consultants, legal assistants and file clerks, handling hundreds of toxic tort and product liability cases in several states. She attended countless seminars and immersed herself in each tort claim and assisted in the various mediations and trials. She has managed a wide variety of personal injury matters, including 18 wheeler accidents, medical malpractice lawsuits, and fatality cases, in both state and federal courts. In 2009, she moved to Abilene, Texas with her husband, who grew up in West Texas. Tracy began working for Greg Allen a few months later, and has been his paralegal ever since. Tracy and her husband have a young son, who keeps them busy. Together, they enjoy traveling the world and experiencing different cultures. The beach is Tracy’s happy place.
