Amazing Lawyer That Cares!

I needed a local lawyer to help me through a difficult situation. When I called Tristan, he reassured me that he would do what he could to resolve the issue. Tristan kept me calm and level headed. I could tell that he genuinely cares about the people that he helps. I am so thankful to say that Trista...n resolved everything completely. Even when I had little hope left. He is an amazing lawyer to have by your side. If I could, I would give him a ten star review. I highly recommend him, he is well versed in what he does and goes the extra mile! Cheers Tristan, thanks a million. I wish you nothing but the best! Best regards, Carlos Elizarraraz

Professional

I went to consult on an employer situation and ended up suing the company and I am grateful to have had the support of anti-Cooney and associates. Tristan was a valuable member of the team and was always open to answer any questions or provide any clarifications. If you feel like you’ve been wronged ...Get a consultation

A steady hand to guide me through a terrible situation

Tristan is an incredible resource that always had my best interest as first priority. He has made a positive impact on how I view the legal process which is incredibly overwhelming most of the time . Tristan is always thoughtful in his approach and methodical in his actions. There was many times wher...e I was on the verge of giving up and breaking down when he and his team picked me back up and basically held my hand through some of the most difficult and heart breaking days of my life. Tristan is an amazing lawyer but an even greater person who cared more about my well being than any bottom line. I recommend him to anyone who is in need of someone who is honest, genuine and diligent to get results. Consider yourself lucky to have him and his team helping you. A+++++++

Excellent Services

I highly recommend Tristan to anyone needing quality legal counsel here in the Santa Barbara area. He was efficient and knowledgeable and walked me though all the necessary steps we would be taking during the court process. My case had been dragging on for a year or so before Tristan became involved.... He was able to dismiss the case, so I could finally get the burden off my back. If you are looking for the best representation, then Tristan is your guy.

Very Grateful!

Tristan was extremely helpful with my case. He listened to me and took my case very seriously. He was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had while walking me through a very difficult and stressful situation. Tristan made knowledgeable and honest recommendations and helped guide me... through a complex and emotionally charged case. He made sure I understood every step in the process while working towards a resolution. I'm very grateful for his work and all that he and the firm did for me!
