Fearless and Does an Excellent Job - Highly Recommend

This review is highly overdue. In 2011, Tristan agreed to represent me in my divorce, when other Ventura County attorneys shied away because of who my husband was. Tristan didn’t charge me an arm and a leg. He got me an excellent order for spousal support which enabled me to pay for attorney fees, an...d he represented me for around 19 months until my divorce was finalized. Tristan is known and respected in the Ventura County Superior Courthouse. It is now 2023. Because Tristan secured my portion of pensions (and I am now collecting Social Security) I can actually pay for my living expenses. Not everyone can say that at retirement age. Thank you, Tristan! Thank you for looking after matters and getting me through my divorce, so that I can be where I am today. I would highly recommend you to anyone in their search for an attorney!

Extraordinary Lawyer

Tristan teGroen is a fabulous, extraordinarily experienced, ethical, well-respected, meticulous, quick, wicked-smart, Mensa-type, 100% on-top-of-it lawyer and as a bonus, a wonderfully clever, creative, compassionate and honestly most caring individual I have ever met. He goes over and beyond to take... care of your case - frequently working the weekend/late nights to keep a hot issue at bay. If you are FORTUNATE enough to have Tristan in your corner - which is most likely a truly difficult time in your life - you are VERY lucky. An unexpected divorce or legal matter can be an emotional and financial train-wreck, and could change/will change your life. Having Tristan in my corner gave me the ability and strength to forge my way though this dark forest - truly territory uncharted. My case was very simple, and a matter of writing a settlement - until - it was not, when my X hired a "Ready for Trial" go-for-broke aggressive lawyer. Tristan approached this aggressive adversarial attitude with a smart, meticulous, professional, monk-like calmness and a "We-got-this-don't-worry" strength with his ever cool head. To someone like myself, who is not familiar with the legal system/processes, these things are unbelieveably frightening, shocking, scary and soul-devastating. This is a time to hire someone you fully trust - your future life counts on it. Tristan will have your back and keep the emotions and interactions calm and cool despite the heat he is dealt (extraordinarily rude and unnecessary aggressive assaults/demands from opposing counsel) - which ultimately creates a better outcome. A real gem, a diamond under pressure, I cannot recommend Tristan enough.

Tristan

Tristan teGroen has been my attorney for over ten years. In my experience he has been professional, thorough, thoughtful, methodical and kind. He is unlike other attorneys in that he has taken time to listen to me. He has never ‘gouged’ me for money as other attorneys have. He has never spoken do...wn to me as other attorneys have. He has never expected him to do his work for him as other attorneys have. I have referred more than one client to him over the years and have only heard good things about their interactions with him and his staff. His staff, which also consists of his adorable mother, is a pleasure to work with when Tristan is not around. I will continue to refer other clients to him whenever the opportunity arises. Sincerely, Rebecca

Highly Recommended

I have spoken to many lawyers throughout my custody case, and even hired/fired several for incompetency. I had a consultation with Tristan and would hire him should I need to in the future, as I am now in the tail end of my case after the judgement has already been ruled on. He was very patient, know...ledgeable of the questions I posed and didn't play games dodging answers just because he's not hired as some lawyers I've experienced do. I feel confident recommending him for custody issues which is what my questions were about during the Avvo paid consultation I had with him and would select him to ask a question to if you also choose to do the paid calls or are looking for a lawyer to hire.
