Tristan Harris Longino

Tristan represented me exceptionally in my divorce case. Tristan was honest in all aspects and never just told me what I wanted to hear. He was honest, upfront, fair, very mature and very professional in guiding me through all of my issues and situations throughout the process. Also I felt an imme...nse amount of fair and excellent support from the Skillern law firm team as a whole. Tristan and Matt Skillern both helped me see through the issues that clouded the true and important issues with my case in an utmost respectable, fair, and level headed manner. Tristan is excellent, and on an excellent team.

I rolled into the Skillern Law Firm like a compass-less Tasmanian devil, and from the moment the front desk greeted me reassuringly and served me (calming?) tea—I had an inkling that my day just might get better. I had worked with several attorneys to assist my (now ex-)husband with his custody and c...hild support issues from another marriage, and let’s just say that I was wary. I have to say that the Skillern office was a far cry to the experiences I had elsewhere—here, everyone was very organized, unfailingly polite, and mindful of my time. Now to Tristan Longino in particular: meeting him was also a pleasant surprise since I was overwhelmed with so many questions in my head and feared I might have to justify why I wanted to pursue a divorce. When you’ve made the most difficult decision of your life and been racked with insomnia wondering how things will work out, the best thing you can hear from your divorce attorney is the simple question (delivered with warm, sincere smile), “So, what brought you here today…?” and a pen casually being opened to take notes as he gives you the arena. (And notes he did take as he proceeded to run through all the preliminary questions about how to protect my interests!) Unlike other attorneys, Tristan never cut me short when I was trying to bring up any of my concerns or clarifying questions; in fact, like another reviewer noted, I came armed with a list of questions and was shocked that we got through them all with detailed responses. He left no stone unturned, and I can say that I felt truly educated in the first half hour alone. After peppering him with quite a few “what if” scenarios and receiving a calm, sensible answer for each one, I finally started to relax and realize that I had found competent guidance at last. Tristan was extremely thorough, diligent and above all, reassuring—without being a charlatan, creep or cliché. He was a genuinely kind attorney working on my behalf, informing me every step of the way and making great catches that I failed to consider as I waffled between being too nice and having a spine. He always made sure I understood our strategy and that every legal move was completely fair and without malice. Although I am really glad that it went fairly amicably as far as divorces go, I am a little sorry that I didn’t get to see Tristan argue in court since it became unnecessary and was finalized without opposition. When I got a brief demonstration of how he would argue on my behalf after answering one of my many “what if” scenarios, I got a totally different glimpse of the “nice guy”—it left me with no doubt that he is a highly skilled litigator, who is a force to be reckoned with and would leave no opportunity for a negative outcome. Exactly the kind representing you if you want to avert disaster. Without a doubt, I would recommend him to anyone needing a hard-working and ethical divorce attorney.

I approached the Skillern Law Firm for assistance with drafting my prenuptial agreement, and Tristan was able to schedule an appointment with me on short notice and assure me that he would be able to draft the document and have the opposing lawyer agree (my fiancee and I were in agreement already) wi...thin the timeframe needed for our wedding. After sending my initial information to him we were able to draft the document during our first consultation in less than 2 hours, and resolve any minor differences with the opposing counsel within 3-4 emails. Throughout the process Tristan was very easy to talk to, and explained not only what the document stated but any possible clauses I may not have thought of in a way that was precise but also related to my personal situation. At the end of the process I felt that he clearly understood my situation and what I was trying to achieve, and that I clearly understood what the document drafted would work. This is everything I would request of an attorney in this capacity, and I felt very comfortable with Tristan's assistance throughout. I highly recommend him for anyone who has similar needs.

Tristan was an answer to my prayers. I was not happy with my previous attorneys and their misguidance. Tristan turned my thinking around about divorce attorneys. He is an attorney that is sincerely interested in his client's well being and protecting their finances. His guidance and knowledge saved... me money and heartache. Tristan's knowledge surpassed the knowledge of my past attorneys (they were all much older than Tristan). I highly recommend Tristan as a divorce attorney and for family law. I have great peace and confidence moving forward knowing I now have Tristan for all my future needs.

Tristan was a professional from the moment I walked into his office and once all was said and done, everything was settled with a favorable outcome. He is very knowledgeable and really kept me informed at each step in the process, and was very reassuring when I needed it. He also has a great person...ality, which really put me at ease during such a difficult time. I would recommend him without hesitation.
