Firm: Conrad Trosch & Kemmy, P.A.

Uptown Office- Litigation , Charlotte , North Carolina 28204

Practice Areas: Divorce & Separation

After being raised by a family of lawyers, including my mother, father, grandfather, two brothers, and an uncle, I initially decided to be anything but a lawyer. However, while exploring graduate school in a number of other areas, I took a number of career assessment tests which overwhelmingly concluded that a career as either a lawyer or a teacher would be a good fit for me. I feel like practicing Family Law allows me to be both – I am able to help clients by educating them about the law and by handling complex legal issues on their behalf. I am a part of the third generation of attorneys to practice at Conrad Trosch and Kemmy and am now a partner at the firm. I have pushed myself to become and expert in family law.  My first goal was to be a Board Certified Family Law Specialist, which I did in 2010.  I have taken the opportunity to teach other lawyers the nuances of Family Law and authored the book: Divorce in North Carolina – Answers to Your Legal Questions, which answers over two hundred of the thousands of questions that have been posed to me over the years.. I am not a one-trick pony unless the pony is called common sense. I take an approach to my practice that causes me to wear a lot of hats. I am an aggressive advocate when necessary, but I also I help my clients see that settling their case is a reasonable way out of court. I think quickly on my feet, which allows me to perform well not only in litigation, but also in a stressful time-sensitive negotiation. What I enjoy the most about Family Law is that it encompasses so many other areas of the law. A Family Law attorney also needs to understand Real Estate Law, Estate Planning, Business Law, Tax Law, Criminal Law, and Bankruptcy, just to name a few. I enjoy the constant intellectual challenge.. My goal is always to give my client the peace of resolution in the least damaging way possible to their family. The most rewarding part of my practice is seeing my clients, who have just gone through one of the most difficult times of their lives, with a smile of relief because their case is resolved. It is that “light at the end of the tunnel” moment that keeps my clients and me pushing forward toward resolution.. My wife, Elizabeth Trosch, is Mecklenburg County’s Chief District Court Judge, and we have two sons. When one of my sons was about three years old, he asked me if he could have some candy before dinner. I told him no and sent him on his way. As is the case with children, he went around the corner to my wife and asked her the same question. She quizzed him, “What did your father say when you asked him?” My son paused and then said, “Well you see Mommy, you are a judge and Daddy’s just a lawyer. Don’t judges just tell lawyers what to do?” Despite his clever “lawyering,” she denied his request. Ultimately, if parties cannot agree, then the only way to have your case resolved sometimes is to have a judge make the final decision. I want to get the best result for my client’s individual situation, and the key is that I do not use only one “tool” all the time. The thing that sets me apart from other Family Law attorneys is that I know what tools I have in my toolbox and when to use them.

Firm: Osborn Conflict Resolution

308 E. Worthington Ave. , Charlotte , North Carolina 28203

Practice Areas: Divorce & Separation

I am passionate about using my training as a mediator and collaborative lawyer (and my time having taught negotiaiton & conflict resolution skills in law school and continuing legal education) to help people and businesses resolve complex disputes in as cost-effective a manner as possible.. Conflict is always expensive-- particularly in terms of the time, stress, energy, and money that often have to be spent dealing with it. The litgaition process is one way to resolve conflict and disputes, but it is not the only way.  And it is rarely if ever the most efficient, quickest, affordable, or enjoyable way. Not a single client has ever approached me after a trial or after having his or her deposition taken and said, "Wow, that was so much fun!  Let's do it again soon, shall we?" And never has a client who paid me to take a matter all the way through depositions, hearings, and trial ever thought I didn't get paid enough for my efforts, and decided to throw in a little something extra for my efforts because he or she felt bad for me.. If you allow our firm the privilege of reviewing your complex family law or business or probate administration dipsute, we will be sure to evaluate all the options avaialble for protecting or enforcing your rights. If your case is a fit for a collborative law approah, anf the other side can be persuaded to come to the same conlcusion--for the sake of saving everyone time, money, and stress, then we are uniquiely positioned to assit If filing a suit--or defending yourself in one that has already been filed against you-- is the most cost-effective means of addressing the situation, given the amount in controversy, personalities, interpersonal dynamics, and complexity of the legal issues presented, then we will pursure that route vigorously.  But we will always keep our eyes open for avenues of resolving the dispute more quickly or affordably, whenever possible--whether thru mediaiton or some form of collaborative law process.

Firm: Modern Legal

Practice Areas: Divorce & Separation

I grew up in a small, rural town in North Carolina where family is an essential aspect of everyone’s life. I came to value the importance of family and what it means when a family goes through a divorce or custody dispute. All families see challenges in many forms from time to time. I realized that more than anything, I just wanted to help all involved. This inspired me to be the first in my family to complete my undergraduate studies. After attending Wingate University in Wingate, North Carolina and working around Charlotte, I knew I wanted my life to have a deeper impact. I then attended Charlotte School of Law in Charlotte, North Carolina to obtain my juris doctorate. This helped me to reach my goal be able to advocate for and assist the people of North Carolina and help those families I had come to love.. As an attorney, my goal is for each client to find peace and a reasonable resolution for their family. As an advocate for my clients, I want them to be heard but also empowered with the facts and laws surrounding their case so we can work together to find a path forward. I’ve watched the detrimental effects that pro-longed litigation can cause on a family unit both, emotionally and financially. I understand that people come to me in some of their darkest times for help and that they want to move forward in a positive light; I have the tools and power to help them do so. I appreciate the opportunity to get to know your family and entrusting me with managing healthy expectations and goals for your case.. I pride myself on being professional and prepared for the task at hand. I enjoy getting to know clients through this process. My passion for helping others extends beyond the legal realm. I have been involved in raising money for the Alzheimer’s Association for several years as it is an organization that is near to my heart. Additionally, I use my talents to help victims in domestic violence situations through volunteering with Safe Alliance and by helping children through the Council for Children’s Rights.. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling and spending time with my husband, our two children, and our three dogs. I also enjoy running and listening to a good podcast!
