Forged in Trial. Dedicated to Justice. Fighting for You.
Tricia Halstead is a trial lawyer to her core. For more than six years, Tricia fought in the trenches of Los Angeles County courtrooms as a Deputy District Attorney. She prosecuted thousands of cases, from misdemeanors to serious and violent felonies. For almost a decade Tricia has dedicated her career to litigation and has appeared in more than 8,000 matters throughout Los Angeles, Orange County, Riverside and San Bernardino Superior Courts. Known for her skill under pressure and fearless approach to trial, she quickly earned a reputation as a relentless advocate who could go toe-to-toe with the toughest defense attorneys and deliver results.
That experience shaped Tricia into the kind of lawyer you want when everything is on the line. She knows how prosecutors think, how cases are built, and exactly how to dismantle them. Today, she uses that knowledge to defend individuals accused of crimes and to stand up for victims of negligence in personal injury cases. Whether protecting someone’s freedom or seeking justice after an injury, Tricia brings precision, strategy, and unwavering commitment to every case she takes on.
Her foundation as an advocate started years earlier, competing in mock trial, moot court, and national trial competitions where she earned top honors as one of the highest scoring advocates in the country. She went on to graduate magna cum laude from both Chapman University and the University of Illinois College of Law before launching her career in the courtroom.
Beyond her work in the courtroom, Tricia is a proud mother to a beautiful five-year-old son. Founding Lawyer Up Legal Counsel A.P.C. gave her the flexibility to balance parenthood with her passion for justice which reinforced her core belief that every client deserves to be treated like family.
When you hire Tricia, you are not just hiring a lawyer. You are gaining a champion who will fight for your freedom, your recovery, and your future with unmatched dedication and care. Do not fight alone, Lawyer Up today.
