In his remarks McElveen said, “Trey is a true champion for children of this state and one of the greatest advocates we have for adoption and the betterment of our foster care system in South Carolina.” He closed with, “Trey testified before subcommittees, educated and convinced policymakers, and served as a wonderful resource and valuable part in a process that has led to some truly positive changes in our state – which improved the lives of so many South Carolina children, and literally saved the lives of others.”
A first-generation college graduate, Trey earned a bachelor’s degree in sociology from Charleston Southern University while minoring in business administration, psychology and religion. He went on to receive his law degree (J.D.) from the University of South Carolina and is a member of both the North Carolina and South Carolina Bar associations.

In 2018, Trey joined Hayes Holliday to form Holliday Ingram, LLC. Trey is passionate about foster care, adoption and legislative advocacy; he takes great joy in being able to assist foster and adoptive families and children in South Carolina.
