Goldberg Evans are two experienced family law attorneys committed to bringing compassion back to the practice of family law. Trista Goldberg and Shawn Evans both left larger law firms to start a smaller practice dedicated to putting clients first.

Trista P. Goldberg
Attorney at Law
I am a natural problem solver and people person. Family law was the perfect fit for me and have I developed a practice over the past 10 years exclusively helping families in transition. I truly enjoy working closely with my clients as they navigate the often turbulent experience of family conflict.
Opening my own office gave me the freedom to assist clients in processes that preserve resources and minimize the emotional cost of divorce. I’ve spent countless hours in the courtroom, arguing cases to Judges and Magistrates that are tasked to make decisions for your family. I am acutely aware of the risks associated with contested trials. There is no sure thing in litigation…rather it is a gamble most of the time.
I am trained Collaborative Law Attorney and Mediator. I utilize these skills to assist clients develop creative and one of kind resolutions to their cases. My preference is help clients stay out of court because they lose control of the outcome. Family law matters go to the core of who we are as individuals and the outcomes impact the most important aspects of our lives. These decisions should not be left to individuals that know very little about your family.
I approach my work with compassion, strength, and integrity during one of the most difficult times in my clients’ lives. It is crucial that we develop a trusting professional relationship as I will provide you objective advice about your options. You can count on me to be responsive to your needs and work strenuously to pursue your goals.
My practice includes Domestic Relations and Juvenile Court cases involving the division of assets and debts, including complex financial tracing and business valuations, the payment of spousal support and child support, child custody and paternity issues. I am licensed to practice law in the State of Ohio and the Commonwealth of Kentucky and frequently appear in Ohio counties of Hamilton, Warren, Clermont, Butler and Kenton, Campbell and Boone counties in Kentucky.
When not working for my clients, I enjoy spending time with my husband and young daughter, exploring our city, wineries, new eateries, and the newest adventures we can find.
“The negotiation and resolution of family law issues is delicate and complex. I provide professional legal advice while maintaining a compassionate view of the highly emotional aspects of terminating a marriage and providing for the care and support of children.”

Shawn M. Evans
Attorney at Law
I went to law school hoping to become a family lawyer and have exclusively practiced in family law since 2009. I want to help people through the most difficult times. I believe it is important to get through this process and transition with dignity and respect.
I practice in all areas of domestic relations, including divorce, dissolution, prenuptial agreements, property settlements, spousal support, and parenting matters including child custody, parenting time, child support and grandparents’ rights. I regularly appear in Hamilton, Warren, and Clermont Counties’ Domestic Relations and Juvenile Courts.
I have extensive trial experience, but I truly believe the best way to approach terminating a marriage is through the collaborative process. I think it is important as an attorney to see things from my clients’ perspectives. If I were going through the process, I would want to choose the collaborative model because we can create some of the most creative options that truly suit the needs of a particular family.
I want to develop a personal connection with each of my clients, because I truly care about them. Knowing a client’s unique needs helps me better negotiate on his or her behalf or advocate for his or her positions. I will always be straightforward about a process and what my clients may expect.
On a personal level, I am a lifelong Cincinnatian, having attended Indian Hill High School, where I have served as a legal advisor to the Indian Hill Mock Trial team for the past decade. My talented team has provided me the opportunity to travel to the National High School Mock Trial Tournament in Albuquerque, New Mexico and Indianapolis, Indiana. I currently reside in Anderson Township with my husband Jay and son Brody.




Julie A. Rohrig
Attorney at Law
Much of my adult life has led me to
family law. Although every family situation is unique, I understand many family
struggles. I know that family issues can be emotional and overwhelming. I want
to understand your unique situation and help you through the process.
Legal decisions can have great
implications. I believe that it is important to take the appropriate time and
consideration when making decisions regarding your family. I want to
provide guidance and thoughtful counsel to those navigating through the
complexities of divorce, child custody, and other family law matters.
When I am not working, I enjoy
traveling, camping, and spending time with my family. I have a wonderful husband.
Together we have four teenage children. Two of them are my biological children,
and the other two are my bonus kids. I have a blended family, and although it
can be complicated—it is amazing.
