Trista McElhaney

I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional legal support I've received from Trista during an immensely challenging period in my life. Her unparalleled expertise in family law and razor-sharp intelligence have been pivotal in guiding me and my child through the intricacies of the family court system.... I've had three lawyers, seen several more perform in court, and Trista is among the best. Trista wields a clarity of thought and an ability to articulate complex legal matters in a way that is both comprehensible and empowering. From our initial consultation through every subsequent interaction, she demonstrated an unwavering commitment to my case, providing invaluable insights and strategic, fact-based guidance that proved instrumental in achieving positive outcomes despite constant attempts from opposing counsel to muddy the waters. In all motions and hearings, Trista and her equally excellent paralegal Charlie showcased not only legal prowess but also an understanding of the emotional nuances involved. Their compassionate approach, coupled with an impressive attention to detail, made me feel heard and supported throughout the legal process. Trista and Charlie's level of professionalism and responsiveness is also unquestionable. They both consistently communicated updates promptly, ensuring that I was well-informed at every stage. They responded to my rare emergency situations within minutes. I can genuinely say that as their client, I felt a sense of security and confidence despite an endless barrage of false accusations and distraction from the other parent and their counsel. I could not more highly recommend Trista and Price Family Law to anyone seeking a family law firm that goes above and beyond. Her remarkable capabilities have made a profound difference in my life, and I'm incredibly thankful for the peace of mind she has provided during this challenging journey.

It's with great pleasure to recommend Trista for any complex Family Law matter. Her attention to detail, impeccable memory, and thorough skillset in the courtroom explains why it was apparent Judges respect and listen to her. Complex cases can be challenging when small details can make or break the... outcome, and with Trista leading the strategy, I was fortunate to have a favorable outcome. Her investment in her clients cases is sincere and genuine. I was happy with the outcome, while she was critical of herself wanting more in OUR case (she's in it for you and your family more than I've seen any other attorney invest in their families). Opposing counsel in this case was a stereotypical type of attorney. One who liked to play on words, make assumptions and toe the line of transparency and honesty. Trista was phenomenal at weeding through the drama, their smoke and mirrors courtroom show, and keep the facts of the law clear and concise to the court. At the end of the day, this approach has won her a lot of credibility with Judges across many counties. A factor to consider when you're looking for representation in the family courtroom is who has good rapport with the Judges, not who's the "bulldog"... although, I'd definitely say she was a "bulldog" in my case as well since nothing seemed to rattle or distract her. #LaserSharp #HighlyRecommend

There aren’t enough words to describe how highly I recommend Trista Price. She took me on as a client shortly after my Child Custody hearing, and made my transition absolutely painless. Because of how vindictive my ex and his family are, my current husband and I chose to keep a retainer in the firm f...or Trista. Thankfully we did, because shortly after our Child Custody case closed... my husband and I were dragged into the court room by my ex’s parents. Even though that matter was civil, and we had to retain a different attorney (of course in the same firm, recommended) Trista still stood beside us. She knew instantly that their case was a retribution from my ex and I’s Child Custody Case, and that it could potentially end up hurting our child in the long run. She kept in touch through the entire thing, and even asked how our daughter is doing. All torts were dropped in that case, but it was a great example of why we are ever so happy to stick with Trista and the Burnham Law firm. She is very prompt and attentive when it comes to phone calls and emails, but most importantly extremely knowledgeable with law. You can tell without a doubt she is compassionate about what she does. I’m thankful to have her as an attorney and wish anyone on the other side of her the best of luck, because she knows very well what she’s doing.

“AWESOME Attorney!!!!” Yes, having been a client of Ms. McElhaney this is how I rate her and this is why: I was recently involved in a Modification to Spousal Maintenance which had turned rather nasty. To further complicate matters, I was living and working abroad and had just became unemployed. For ...months, I worked with an Attorney from a law firm which shall remain nameless, and had never been so stressed as I saw my life, both emotionally and financially, going down the tubes. In an act of desperation, I searched AVVO for another firm to handle my case and ended up hiring the Burnham Law Firm. Enter Ms. Trista McElhaney, Associate Attorney, and almost immediately my situation changed. Working with her on my case, I soon found her to be extremely competent, exceptionally responsive, as well as very personable, direct and informative, in other words everything I had hoped for in an attorney. Along with Mr Charlie Shisler, Senior Paralegal, they soon earned my trust and respect to the point that, even though the relationship was always professional, both Ms. McElhanney and Mr. Shisler made me feel as if I was dealing with friends after each correspondence. As for me, well my stress levels dropped to the point where I no longer worried about how my case was being handled, they were that good. And in the end, having never met in person, an 8-hour time difference, dealing only through emails and telephone calls, to include having me attend mediation and trial telephonically from 8000 miles away, they won my case, with an outcome better than I could ever have imagined. So, if you want the best, someone with an unmatched work ethic, someone who will aggressively represent you, then I highly recommend Trista McElhaney.

Like so many people, I found myself in a divorce and custody battle. I found Bloch and Chapleau online in a search for firms specializing in fathers rights. I was in the unusual position of having my two daughters already living with me full time, and having to fight to keep them. It was the m...ost terrifying process I've been through, and hiring an attorney was almost as unsettling. I interviewed three attorneys in person, and a number of others over the phone. I knew Trista was the one within 5 minutes. She doesn't come across as a lawyer, but rather a person that cares and wants to help. I almost immediately felt as though everything was going to be ok. I explained my situation, what I was trying to accomplish, and asked if that was legally feasible. Trista didn't lie to me, she didn't tell me what I wanted to hear, just very honest and kind straight forward legal advise. She told me what the law stated about my particular set of circumstances, and thought we had an extremely good chance of achieving my desired outcome. One of the biggest things I was impressed with was the communication. Every phone call or email I made was either answered or returned shortly after by Trista herself. I never spoke to an assistant or secretary. Near the end of my case Trista actually gave me her personal cell phone number, which I'm not sure if everyone gets, but I was certainly appreciative. Not only did we get the outcome we had hoped for at the outset, I actually got more than I had asked. I know it's easy to say how amazing your attorney is when you win, however, the entire process was pretty easy and a lot less intimidating. Trista talked me through every step, gave me spot on advise, flawless communication, and proactive planning made this a great experience under the circumstances. Thank you Trista for everything you did for my girls and I.
