      Biography

      Tristan Christopher Larson is a trial attorney who focuses on insurance claims and lawsuits for personal injuries, medical malpractice, and family law. He has represented injured Vermonters since 2007.

      "Helping people navigate our complex legal system is a great privilege. I am proud to stand beside my clients, whether they are dealing with serious injuries or facing difficult permitting problems. I provide them with outstanding legal representation."

      Tristan grew up on a dairy farm in Rutland County before heading to Michigan for undergraduate school. After college, he returned to Vermont to spend a year working in real estate appraisal. He then attended Harvard Law School, where he graduated with high honors in 2003. During law school, Tristan worked in environmental law, assisted low-income clients in housing disputes, and represented the State of Massachusetts in criminal matters with the office of the Salem District Attorney. After graduating, he joined the real estate department of a major Boston firm. Missing the Green Mountains and the people and communities that enrich life in Vermont, he returned in 2005 to serve as law clerk for the trial courts in Rutland County. He became an associate lawyer and then partner at a law firm in Rutland before founding Larson & Gallivan Law in 2020.

      Tristan has served the community as a member of the Middletown Springs Select Board, as a member of the board of governors of the Vermont Association for Justice, and as the President of Vermont Actors' Repertory Theatre.

        I feel lucky to know Chris. He is one of the best lawyers in the state.

        Tristan is a good listener and wins cases for his clients. He is willing to go to trial and can settle cases because of that.

        When I made the decision to divorce, I hoped for professional help from someone who naturally offered trust and compassion. I had heard of Chris Larson’s professional strengths through word of mouth. But, having been acquainted with him through my place of work, I also knew him to be a genuine, good person. I am beyond pleased with his services. Chris proved to be just what I hoped for and needed to help me navigate the divorce process in a way that alleviated my stress and anxiety. He is extremely knowledgeable, and able to impart any information in a way that is helpful and easy to understand. He prepares you for what to expect so that you feel competent and confident enough to deal with it. And most importantly, Chris truly cares. I would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

        Christopher Larson has been the attorney for my business for about four years. In this time, Chris has provided sound advice and has been expedient and efficient in his delivery of services. Througout our exchanges, Chris would take the time to consider all the options available and offer his legal advice accordingly. Any contracts or papers that needed to be drawn up were always handled with in the most efficient and accurate manner with barely a need for corrections. If you are considering an attorney for whatever reason, I highly recommend you speak with Chris Larson.

        Chris Larson is an amazing trial lawyer. I have seen him prepare for trial and I have seen him in just about every aspect of a case and I am thoroughly impressed with his dedication to his clients, preparation and courtroom ability. Chris is a genuine guy who deeply cares about his clients and is always doing the right thing.

        He stands out from the vast majority of lawyers I encounter, especially with his compassion, communication, and empathy for clients.
