About

My name is Tripp Atkins and I am a husband, a daddy, a Christian, a lawyer, and some other stuff – I’m sure – from Greenville, South Carolina. Every day, I come across some interesting people, funny stories, and occasionally some videos and with TrippAtkins.com I am hoping to write about some of these things along with my insights on leadership, finances, being a man and anything else “relevant” and I hope you will find beneficial and applicable to your life.

While I am an attorney, I am not representing my firm on this website, nor am I representing any other groups I am associated with. My thoughts and views are solely mine and not necessarily those of my firm or the employees of the firm or other associations. Also, nothing on this site should be relied on as legal advice. From time to time, I may discuss general issues of law, however, you should consult with an attorney about the specifics of your case to receive an accurate assessment of your legal position.
