Tristen U. Key

Tristen was knowledgeable, efficient, compassionate, and made every effort to make sure I felt heard and well represented during a long drawn out high conflict divorce. She made sure I understood the process and worked diligently to address any issues. She was upfront about costs and made every ef...fort to keep them low. Tristen and her staff were amazing to work with and quick to respond to emails. I always felt valued anytime I interacted with anyone at the office. While I hope to never have another divorce, if I did I would re-hire her.

Putting Tristen and her team on my divorce case was the best decision I made for my future. I really could see the difference in preparedness and individual attention between my legal team and my ex’s. I honestly felt like her propelling arguments at the temporary hearing are what landed me primary c...ustody with my child. In addition to that, I went from a position of thinking I’d have to live in poverty to having a settlement big enough to go to school and get my life back on track. I also understand how uncommon it is to work with a legal team that works so hard to keep their fees low for their clients. Tristen makes top tier legal work affordable for people like me.

I paid for consultations with several lawyers. Some of them had higher ratings on this site than Tristen. I chose Tristen and never once regretted my decision. Although she was the last attorney I consulted with she provided me with the most information and really took the time to discuss my legal is...sues. She educated me on various options and case strategies that none of the other lawyers took the time to discuss with me. I have very difficult facts in my child custody and child support case and a couple of the lawyers I consulted with had already given up on my case before being hired. Tristen didn't sugarcoat my case to me to get me to hire her. She was truthful and straightforward but never disrespectful. She printed off forms and walk me through them in case I didn't hire her. She only cared about arming me with as much information than about selling herself to me. She was the only lawyer to play devil's advocate and tell me what the other party would likely argue and how I could best counter the arguments. She is very intelligent. You can actually see her brain working all different angles. She doesn't treat every case the same. I felt understood and respected. I hired Tristen and she has never disappointed me. She is always thorough and one step ahead of the other side. My case is difficult and she has never given up. She almost always wins every time we have to go to court or threatening letters arrive from the other party's lawyer. She doesn't allow the other attorney to bully us. Tristen also is very reasonable in her fees. She tries to keep her fees down and does not do unnecessary work just to charge me. I highly recommend her as a lawyer.

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.

Tristen was a perfect match for me. When I finally realized I couldn't manage my divorce alone an I needed an advocate, I met with several attorneys, but I could tell I was going to choose Tristen within minutes of meeting her. Because my ex was not being reasonable, I needed someone knowledgeable... to educate me on my options. I was lost in all of the confusion of my separation, legal procedures, financial issues, and how to be able to get time with my children. Teisten squared me away on all of those things and have me excellent advice all te way around and at every step. She nudged me along when I needed the nudging and really cared about me as a person, father, client. As good as Tristen is at advice and support and knowledge of family and Divorce law, she really impressed me in the courtroom. Her presentation was precise, her rebuttals were quick and direct. She has a good rapport with the judge. She is very sharp and is a "rock star" in the courtroom. Tristen bills accurately and works very efficiently in my opinion with procedure and opposing counsel. She got me trough a long and very difficult mediation of which I was pleased with the outcome. As a side note, I have dealt with the other partners in her office when needed and they too are all very professional and knowledgable and quick with responses. There's no way I would be where I am at today without Tristen as my advocate.
