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.
Her own family’s experience with a difficult and costly probate inspired her passion for helping families protect what matters most and avoid unnecessary court involvement and conflict. Today, Trish leads the Arch Legacy team in helping families and business owners plan confidently for the future through estate planning, elder law, probate, and business succession.
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.
