Navigating the complexities of divorce and family law requires compassionate and knowledgeable legal representation. Trisha is dedicated to helping families in Mequon, WI, through some of life’s most challenging moments. She is committed to providing personalized solutions tailored to your unique situation.
Trisha graduated with honors Magna Cum Laude from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 2001 before earning her law (J.D.) degree from Regent University Law School in 2007. Before law school she had already gained substantial legal experience, including helping manage a family law practice.
It was while earning her law degree that Trisha had her first child, and it changed her life forever. It made her understand even greater the importance of family, with children at the center. In her early years of practice, she experienced many areas of law, but ultimately primarily focused on family, helping families since 2007. Trisha has also worked as a Guardian ad Litem in cases, appointed by the court to represent the best interests of the children, which gives her a powerful perspective to guide families going through this process. In addition, she has certified in Mediation and Collaborative Divorce, helping families take a low-conflict and often more cost-effective route through this process.
There are different types of family law cases, and each one is unique because every family and situation is different. Trisha tailors her services to best fit your family and your case. Some of the most common cases are detailed below:
Divorce can cover a variety of topics including property division, child custody, child support, and alimony. Whether you and the other party can't agree on anything or you are amenable to figuring things out together, having an attorney at your back protects your future.
When unmarried parents separate and have to figure out child custody and placement, the first step is establishing paternity. Then, they determine who can make decisions for the children and where they live day-to-day. Trisha knows the impact these decisions have, so she is ready to fight for your family to get the future you want and deserve.
Two years after the last custody and placement order or if a substantial change occurs, orders can be modified. Or, when someone is not following the orders to enough of a degree, you can file to enforce them. Orders are rarely perfect, and families change with time. Trisha knows the intricacies of these cases and can tell you when the court is most likely to rule in your favor.
