Trisha Festerling

Trisha Festerling is an attorney at Grieve Law, where she focuses her practice exclusively on a variety of family law-related matters. She is based in the firm’s office in Brookfield, one of several that it has in Wisconsin, and she represents clients throughout a large portion of the state, including the greater Milwaukee metropolitan area as well as the state capital of Madison. Ms. Festerling has been admitted to practice before all Wisconsin state courts since 2007. 

Ms. Festerling attended the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee as an undergraduate. She majored in criminal justice and spent time studying abroad at the University of Kent in England before receiving a Bachelor of Science in 2001. She attended Regent University School of Law, where she served on the school’s Moot Court Board and was awarded her Juris Doctor in 2007.

A large portion of Ms. Festerling’s practice involves her representation of people who are contemplating ending their marriages or who are already in the divorce process. She has extensive experience in guiding them through the related legal issues of child custody and visitation, the division of marital property, and spousal and child support. Ms. Festerling is trained in both mediation and collaborative law, and she is thus able to use those alternative dispute resolution methods to help many of her clients reach an accord without having to go through a protracted courtroom battle. In addition, she has frequently been appointed by courts to act as a guardian ad litem for children who are the subject of bitter custody disputes between their parents.
