Trey Schopen

Originally born in Raleigh, I moved to the suburbs of Chicago before my first birthday. While I wanted to return to the East Coast for undergrad, I found myself just an hour south of Cleveland, Ohio at the College of Wooster where I received my Bachelor’s Degree. During my time at Wooster, I was part of the Men’s Swimming and Diving team and a member of the Phi Sigma Tau Philosophy Honor Society.

I graduated from Wooster in 2020 and was called back to the East Coast for law school. I moved back to North Carolina where I attended Elon University School of Law in Greensboro. While at Elon, I was a student mentor and orientation leader, as well as an admissions ambassador and campus tour guide. I was also a student attorney for Elon’s Pro Bono Small Business and Entrepreneurship Clinic where I assisted small business owners in creating the organizational documents for their company, filing their trademarks, and drafting business contracts. Since graduating from Elon in December 2023 I have been practicing family law and assisting clients through some of the most difficult times in their lives.

In my free time, you can find me cooking up delicious recipes and catching up on the newest TV shows and movies. I also love traveling and baseball and am on a journey to attend a game at every Major League Baseball stadium.

Practice Philosophy

I understand that my clients are working through some of the toughest times in their lives. Because of this, I want to do whatever it takes to make the process as easy as possible. I want to make sure my clients understand their options in the clearest way and help guide them to the best option for achieving their goals. I also make sure to take the time to get to know my clients personally, so that they feel assured that their case is as important to me as it is to them.
