What Clients Say

Natashia Butler

They handled everything with confidence and clarity, which made a stressful situation feel much more manageable. I appreciated how direct and honest they were about expectations and next steps. It’s clear they take their responsibility seriously.

Vivian Vo

Tricia is amazing. She helped me with lots of questions and explained everything thoroughly. I would recommend for anyone in my family and friends.

Laurie McDaniel

I was one of Tricia's 1st clients. She did an amazing job for me, researching the facts of my case and recommending action. She was able to articulate the situation and present it to the court in an excellent manner without me having to be present, as I was out of state. The judge ruled in my favor, finding me not guilty on all charges! I hope I never have to use her services again, but if the unfortunate need arises, I will without hesitation!

Kianna

I had such a positive experience with Lawyer Up Legal Counsel. From the very beginning, Tricia and Selah treated me with genuine kindness and compassion, which made a stressful situation feel so much more manageable. Their communication was truly top-notch. I was kept informed every step of the way through both email and text, and I always knew exactly where things stood in the process. That level of transparency gave me a lot of peace of mind. They made me feel comfortable and at ease throughout everything, which I really appreciated. On top of that, they were quick, efficient, and incredibly professional, making the entire process as smooth as possible. I'm so happy with the outcome and grateful for their support. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a legal team that's both highly capable and genuinely caring.
