On Monday, April 28, 2025, the Maine Supreme Judicial Court issued an order accepting the surrender of Attorney Alan E. Tracy’s law license. Tracy voluntarily submitted his letter of surrender to the Board of Overseers of the Bar, as outlined in Maine Bar Rule 25(d). The court’s decision prohibits Tracy from practicing law, effective immediately upon the order’s issuance.
The case is entitled “In the Matter of Alan E. Tracy,” with case no. BAR-25-5.
According to the filing, Tracy’s surrender was submitted freely, without coercion or duress, and with full awareness of its implications. Tracy acknowledged ongoing investigations into allegations of misconduct, detailed in an accompanying affidavit that remains confidential under Maine Bar Rule 25(d)(3). He admitted that significant portions of the allegations are true or could be proven if deemed credible by the court.
The order specifies that Tracy may only seek reinstatement after a minimum of five years from the effective date of the surrender. Reinstatement also requires Tracy to settle any outstanding claims paid by the Lawyers’ Fund for Client Protection. The court noted that Bar Counsel may reference the investigations tied to formal disciplinary charges or other pending inquiries during any future reinstatement proceedings. The Grievance Commission and the court may also consider Tracy’s prior disciplinary history, including the formal charges and investigations mentioned in the order.
