Tristen U. Key

I initially started with a one-hour consultation with Tristen. It was a very emotional moment for me but Tristen was smart, courteous, professional, and kind and she could answer all my questions and walk me through the process. I was comfortable talking to her and her knowledge gave me confidence ...to hire her as my lawyer. She always made sure I know what was happening, explained to me everything I need to know and made sure I get what is fair. I am very smart but this is something I could not figure out on my own especially with the emotional toll it has on me. Note that me and my ex are both working professionals on a different field. Tristen was very diligent and worked with me in person, on the phone and in email. During the hearing, you can tell which lawyer was the smarter one and has done her homework, it was my lawyer Tristen. She is extremely smart, very diligent, very thorough, and would “fight” for me. I was very impressed with her. She was well prepared, she knew what she expected was going to happen and relayed that information to me and that is what happened. She’s extremely knowledgeable, she knows the system and the process and she can point out what mistakes the other party did. She knew the court would deny my ex’s demands because they filed it incorrectly and that they were asking for more than what was fair. She’s very hardworking, makes sure we are on track, and gets what I asked for or corrects me and makes sure I get what I deserve. My case is not over yet but I’m confident that with Tristen as my lawyer, I’ll get what I want and what is fair.

Tristen was hired to assist with my Grandson’s custody issue in February. We initially called and spoke with the paralegal, prior to our consultation. She was knowledgeable and professional setting up our rights to be able to deal with the situation on a temporary basis. It was a true Godsend allo...wing us to feel there were options for us. Walking in the office you immediately are welcomed with calm cool professionalism. Tristen took the time to speak with us and listen carefully prior to offering any solutions. As a mother herself, I could watch her eyes pop at all we had endured. I finally left feeling like I had someone in my Grandson’s corner who would do everything she could for him and that I wasn’t crazy! I had viable concerns and an avenue to ensure his security. When safety became an issue, thanks to Tristen’s documentation and preparation she was able to immediately file a Restraining Order. I shudder to think of where we would be without everything being aligned and ready to go. She is meticulous! Tristen has a way of listening and cutting through all the static and provide you with peace! I could not imagine attempting to go through this situation with anyone but Tristen and her team. Whether meeting with them in person, on the phone, answering questions via email, or appearing in court with her; she is always professional and prepared. Keeping us informed and helping us through all the emotional upheavals. This hasn’t ended yet, but I’m confident of a satisfying outcome with their support. I highly recommend this team, who I now consider part of my family.

I consulted with Tristen approximately 4 months ago to start the ball rolling to end my long term marriage and end the life of domestic violence. Tristen and her team have been very kind, patient, and caring throughout this entire process. I have never been through legal proceedings such as this, a...lthough I did start divorce proceedings over 15 years ago, but lacked the courage to follow through, for many reasons. This time was different as I am a different person now and my ex not longer has my child to hold as leverage. With the knowledge that I was very concerned for my safety and the safety of my son, Tristen helped me to understand the options I had, given my circumstances. And though our original plan started on one path, an unforeseen event threw me onto a different path of needing to obtain a DV protection order, which Tristen guided me through while I was in a very emotional state resulting from the event. Tristen and her team show'd genuine concern for me and my safety and stayed in contact with me till I was safe. From that point the Key Law Team has been nothing but professional and concise in every instance regardless of mode of communication, i.e. email, phone, face to face. Every time I walk into the office I feel a sense of calm with the environment they present, which is so helpful at such a stressful time. I will admit I have not always been the best "client" as these times can cause emotions to guide our actions and Tristen has had to "talk me off the ledge" many times. Unfortunately she has also had to clean up the mess I made when I did not listen to her guidance. I strongly recommend Tristen and her team to anyone in need. They will not let you down, they truly are the experts!!!

Tristen did a great job of working through support issues with an ex who is combative on his best days. Tristen's no-nonsense and down to earth approach was exactly what was needed to help sort through the emotion and drama created by what should have been a simple request, but somehow turned into an... major issue. Even though I'll never make my ex a decent human being, I'll still trust Tristen and retain her again if I am ever in need of family law representation again. She doesn't let the games interfere with the goal - getting your child what they need.

I have been working with Tristen for nine months. I met with Tristen several times before actually hired her. It was not because I was "interviewing" her, instead I wanted to ask many questions, understanding the process. Tristen always answered my questions, and explained the process going forward. ...She was always patient, not pressuring me to hire her and move forward. Once I did hire Tristen, she has performed superbly. I feel that I always have gotten honest and straightforward answers and suggestions. Moreover; I can tell that Tristen is also looking our for my finances. She is always honest, and never try to bill for things that are not that important. My "case" are not yet settled, but I am extremely confident that the result will be to my satisfaction. I would recommend Tristen to anyone seeking a family lawyer.
