I had a court date today and this attorney not only looked beautiful and very professional, but when my case was called by her, it was very simple and fast. My charges nor a bond, was even brought up. Thus was an arraignment. All I heard was not guilty, preliminary hearing, and goodbye. I could not believe what I seen today. She was very professional and seems to get what she wants. If there is any negative reviews, I would have to say they are full of crap. From now on, I will go to Carol for any legal issues. Extremely responsive to all my calls and messages. Thank you so much because I really thought I was going to jail. I wish they had 10 stars.

From the first consultation, Carol has been excellent. She was very informative of every aspect of my case. I had a very long difficult custody battle, Carol was there with me all the way. I felt her passion toward the case, and that gave me confidence. To feel like she cared about the situation, and not just the job, made me feel so much better during a very difficult time in my life. After, a very long time and multiple trips to the court room, we walked away with everything that we were asking for. ( no one wins in a custody battle. It's an ugly thing for everyone involved). However, thanks to all the hard work of Carol and her team, I do believe that my kids benefited the best they could with the situation at hand. Thank you Carol!!!! My family can't thank you enough!!!

It was different. I felt safe.

In 2014 Carol represented me in a fairly straight-forward divorce where my ex-husband and I were able to come to a quick compromise on all issues - asset/debt division, custody, etc. After the divorce, while my ex and I weren't friends we did have a relationship in which we were able to discuss and compromise on any issues that arose, mainly because I would give in in the hope of maintaining a peaceful and positive relationship for our kids. In November 2016 my ex wanted me to give him the children 100% off the time (we had a true 50/50 parenting schedule), reduce his child support and asked me to pay 50% of a $12k debt from the time of our marriage that had already been divided in our agreement. I reached a point where giving in was not in the best interest of the children and denied his requests. That began a 6 month court process. I work in the legal industry but that didn't fully prepare me for the intense emotional roller coaster that followed. But throughout the process I had Carol Risk and thank goodness I did. Carol was knowledgeable about not only the issues of law involved in my case but also about the local rules and the court process. In the courtroom it was obvious that Carol was the more knowledgeable family law attorney as she raised objections, cited law and questioned witnesses. But beyond her knowledge and excellent courtroom ability Carol cared about my case. I understand she couldn't be there every time I had doubts and questions because I'm not her only client, but she was there when needed with excellent advice like how to communicate with my ex and the best way to position myself in light of the pending court hearings throughout the process. When I finally stopped trying to run my own case and listened to Carol and allowed the court process to unfold I actually felt better and my case progressed. We won on all issues and I am so thankful to Carol Risk for being such a zealous advocate for me and my children and for being the kind of woman that will tell me when to get out of my own way.

Highly motivated and cares about her clients, you will not be disappointed in choosing this firm.

She is a fantastic attorney who cares about her clients. I highly recommend her services to anyone who wants to win a legal battle. Her team is top notch.
