Top Best Family Lawyers | 17791 Available

Not your typical attorney. Communication and friendship is standard with me. I do not win cases by being dishonest or rude--I win them by cleverly applying the existing facts with the existing law with a smile on my face. Kill them with kindness and win them with strategy and preparation.

Attorney handling cases in a wide array of areas that include Domestic Relations, Civil Litigation, and Criminal Law.

For over a decade Tripp has represented a variety of clientele in cases ranging fromfamily law to Corporate Litigation. Regardless of the type of client or nature of the case, Tripp has worked relentlessly, providing exceptional legal services, knowledge and expertise both in the Court Room and out.. In 2012, As a result of his success in the field of law, Tripp was selected as a member of the "The National Trial Lawyers Association Top 40 Under 40". This award recognizes Tripp’s achievement of a standard of excellence in the legal community, and honors him as one of only 40 trial lawyers from the State of Arkansas to be chosen for membership into the Top 40 Under 40.. Please review what Tripp’s previous clients have to say about his representation.. "When my ex finally did the unthinkable and tried to take my daughter away forever to California, I did not have to think twice about who I wanted on my side. Tripp knows the law. Tripp has a moral center and compassion for his clients. Most importantly, Tripp has character. He has a firm understanding of what is right, relationships and connections within the local legal community, and the expertise to make sure children of divorced parents get a fair shake. If you are fighting for what is right, you could not do better than to have Mr. Estes by your side.. Did I mention I feel blessed to have found Mr. Estes? I mean that with all my heart.". -Robin. "Tripp handled a custody suit for my mother and he was very organized, patient, concerned, and caring. He is additionally very good in the court room. There are a thousand lawyers in the phone book and it's confusing on who to chose but if we had it all to do over again we would chose Tripp.". -Alan

I love what I do and love fighting for what's right. When I'm not in the courtroom I enjoy spending time with my family, girl scouts, stamping, scrap-booking, food and wine.

I have practiced family law for 18 years. I love the client contact, the problem solving, and the creative solutions that go into resolving complex family litigation. My practice is focused primarily in Waukesha and Milwaukee, but I do travel to the surrounding counties as clients need.. When I first began my legal career, I assisted clients in other matters besides family law. However, I now practice exclusively family law because of both the empathy I feel toward my clients and the unique set of interdisciplinary skills that family law practice requires. Each day is different. On Monday, I might negotiate a child custody agreement, relying on input from a court-appointed social worker and other child specialists to develop the best schedule that meets the developmental needs of a child, while also maximizing placement for both parents. On Tuesday, I could be discussing with an accountant how to appropriately value a closely-held family company. On Wednesday, I may be advocating for my client at a court hearing, presenting arguments to the judge on jurisdiction issues of an international child abduction case. On Thursday, I might spend time discussing retirement account planning for my client with his/her financial planner. And, on Friday, I may be sitting down with my client to develop a comprehensive agreement to resolve their case. Each day is different, and each client is different. I enjoy the ability to creatively problem-solve with my clients to develop a complex strategy to meet their goals and needs.. Outside of the office, I enjoy being active. From soccer (coaching and playing), to cycling, to kayaking, to skiing, to epic family vacations, I love spending time with my family experiencing all that the outdoors has to offer. When I can afford some quiet time at home, my time is often devoted to cooking, socializing with friends and family, searching for new and tasty whiskeys and wines, or pursuing my delusional childhood dream of becoming a world-class drummer for a famous rock band....

I was inspired to pursue a specialization in mediation after spending an extended period of time in Europe where mediation is a commonly practiced alternative to litigation.  I observed it to be a kinder and gentler method for resolving conflict, and the participants highly motivated to cooperate and collaborate respectfully as they focused on the mutual goal, a fair and equitable agreement.
