She attended law school at the University of Richmond’s T. C. Williams School of Law, where she served as a Manuscripts Editor of the Richmond Journal of Law and Technology (“JOLT”) – the nation’s first exclusively online law review and award-winning website, available at www.law.richmond.edu/jolt/index.asp.

Tripp Isenhour focuses his practice on litigation, including criminal, civil, and domestic litigation. Tripp is the quintessential “trial lawyer” who finds himself in a courtroom nearly every day of the week. Tripp grew up in the Piedmont area of North Carolina, but came to call the Lynchburg area home after coming to the area for law school. He attended Guilford College in North Carolina where he majored in political science and played varsity football. Tripp later attended Liberty University School of Law, graduating in that school’s second graduating class in 2008.
Tripp has tried cases in nearly every court in the Lynchburg area, and has a broad range of experience in criminal, civil, and domestic litigation. Tripp’s broad and extensive knowledge of interrelated legal topics allows him to provide comprehensive legal advice to address client’s concerns from many perspectives. One of the primary lessons Tripp’s years of litigation has taught him is the importance of listening to and understanding his client’s personal needs and desires. Most cases coming before the Court are neither completely “won” nor “lost”—they are resolved by a person the client has never met in ways they don’t understand. Tripp’s strength lies in explaining complex legal procedures, then effectively understanding and zealously advocating for what the client actually cares about. No two cases are the same, and every person before the Court deserves an advocate who can both protect their rights and argue for their individual needs.
Tripp is a former president of the Lynchburg Bar Association.
