About Arch Legacy Firm

Trish Butcher is an Athens native, wife, mom to Max, and founder of Arch Legacy Firm. A graduate of the University of Georgia and Emory University School of Law, Trish founded Arch Legacy in 2020 to make estate planning more personal, approachable, and meaningful for Georgia families.

Outside of the firm, Trish enjoys spending time with her husband, Andy, and Max, cheering on the Georgia Bulldogs, traveling, and being part of the Athens community she has always called home.
