Trey spent the year following college in Washington, D.C. where he worked as a paralegal for the largest D.C.-based law firm before returning to Chapel Hill for law school. During law school, Trey served on the Attorney General's Staff for the law school’s Honor Court and was a member of the North Carolina Law Review. Upon graduating with Honors and passing the bar in 2003, Trey returned to Charlotte where he has practiced civil litigation ever since. For the past five years in a row, Trey was named a Rising Star in Business Litigation by North Carolina Super Lawyer’s Magazine. In 2017, he was named a Rising Star in Trust and Estate Litigation. These honors are awarded to fewer than two and one-half percent (2.5%) of all lawyers across the State of North Carolina. In February 2014, the Charlotte Business Journal named Trey to their Top 40 Under 40 list which recognizes the top business leaders under the age of 40 in the Charlotte region.
