After spending the first part of my career with a consumer protection firm representing consumers in individual and class actions against debt collectors, banks, and credit reporting agencies, I went on to gain experience over the next several years as an associate in one of the largest law firms defending those same institutions; an in-house attorney for a top-five bank; an in-house attorney for a Texas-based retailer; and a debt consolidation company. Now, serve small and community banks as a Virtual Compliance Officer.

Trista helped me arrive at a settlement. She kept me in the loop quickly and efficiently, and she charges reasonable rates to her clients.

Personal Attention and Successful Resolution

Trista was instrumental in quickly resolving an issue that I had with a used car dealer. She is extremely knowledgeable in consumer law, professional, and efficient. She provided exceptional personal attention - taking the time to understand my situation, providing honest advice, and developing a course of action that led to a favorable resolution. This was the first time that I have ever needed an attorney, and it was a blessing to find such a capable consumer law attorney close to home in Montgomery County.

Thank you for the opportunity to assist you in this matter and for the kind words.

Quick response and very helpful

Krista replied to my request in a matter of moments and was very helpful. It doesn't seem that I need a lawyer at this moment but she helped me understand where my legal standing was in a long-past debt collection issue. I would definitely hire her if I find that I need a lawyer down the road.

Response from Trista Johnson September 15, 2018

Very responsive

Although Trista couldn’t assist me with my specific need she didn’t hesitate to respond to several questions I had. She was very quick and extremely friendly to correspond with. I hope not to need another attorney down the line; but should the need arise I would definitely reach back out to Trista.

Response from Trista Johnson May 14, 2018

Thank you for the kind feedback! I hope you were able to get assistance with your matter and look forward to serving you in the future if such an occasion arises.
