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.

- Q. What happen if a driver is in a hit and run no damage is done to the car that was hit the car stopped but the other didn
- A: Generally, if no damage is done and no one is injured, there's not much more to do in this circumstance. Vermont requires that drivers report crashes though if there is $3,000 worth of damage or someone is injured. Even if the damage is less than that, the at-fault driver's insurance should cover the damage to the car that was hit. If you are the owner, driver or a passenger in the car that was hit, you can make a claim against your own underinsured/uninsured motor vehicle insurance if you can't find the other driver.
- Q. An old friend she owes me money been so far almost over 2yers And she still avoids and running away
- A: You may have to sue your friend - small claims if its $5k or less is fairly simple. Keep those text messages and defiantly print them out when you go to the hearing along with all the other non-related texts between you.
- Q. How do I convince an attorney to represent me in a complex case that requires faith?
- A: You can file for a protective order (a relief from abuse order in family court) without a lawyer. The important thing is to write out an affidavit carefully that includes why you are in fear for your physical safety. Forms are available at the courthouse or at the judiciary website.
