Hello, my name is mark and for the past six years I have been in one of the most disguting and crazy custody battle. It started out as me just fighting to establish my rights and parenting time. During this time I dealt with 3 different lawyers that were pitiful and no more fought for me than a bug fighting a shoe that is squishing it. Needles to say one day after an extremely unfair decision in court while i was walking back to my car i saw ms. Risk law firm I walked in that door and my life has been better ever since. Im not going to say it was easy and Carol assured me it wouldnt be and continued to encourage me to not give up. Slowly but surely after 4 more years we gained little by little. Finally i almost have my son completely thanks to some awesome attorney work and some poor decisions by my sons mother. I couldnt recommend a better lawyer or person.

Needed Carol's help to avoid a court date for a moving violation. Hired on a Tuesday and my court date was that Friday. She made a call and sent a couple of emails to the prosecutor and my case was dismissed!!! She is very thorough and professional! I will absolutely use her again if needed.

Carol helped me get full custody of my daughter and was a constant professional as well as a great listener. I highly recommend Carol as a lawyer and feel very fortunate to have had her help me and my family.

I had a very unusual case with regards to an Ex Girlfriend. I was served on a thursday did some research and Carol was recommended through a family member. They vetted her and said she is the best one to go to in this geographical area. I talked to her and hired her after a phone consultation, She knew exactly the case and was through in her research of not only the facts she needed but sorted through all the extra I kept brining up. Carol could see I was a fish out of water and put me at ease while she reviewed the facts with me. This was all over Email and phone conversation since I live in California. The day of the case I arrived in Kentucky after Traveling all night and morning. We went over some final notes and looked over the evidence against me. She said this is easy to beat. We swore in and started the actual review of the case, Carol established the lines she needed to maneuver in and started diminishing the petitioners evidence, blowing huge chunks out of the case that was brought against me. By the time the Petitioner was done the judge had Already Ruled the Case Dismissed. All in all I spent 18 hours traveling for 20 minutes in a court room, to have the case dismissed by the skill and diligence of Carol. I can not recommend her enough to you if you have a case, that needs serious attention, this is the Lawyer you need.

If I had to choose one word to describe Carol and The Risk Firm it would be phenomenal!! I retained Ms. Risk to defend me in a family court matter. Her confidence and comfort level in the courtroom is impressive to say the least. She was assertive, not the slightest bit apprehensive about speaking up, and had a no-nonsense approach in dealing with the other side. I desperately wanted to find an attorney that would make sure my voice was heard and fight for what I thought was right for me and my kids. Carol did exactly that. Carol’s confidence and grounded disposition outside of court helped calm my anxieties and fears. She was prepared and focused on getting the job done and she did it with ease. Very talented attorney who I hold in great esteem and would highly recommend.

Carol and her firm team are professional, thorough, and care completely about not only your wants but your needs and she/they study, fight and work hard to get the case won and closed ASAP! You can tell she truly cares. And her or her team are always on call or are easy to contact at all times. Thank you guys for all you've done to help with my case! Life changing.

Carol Risk not only an amazing attorney but she is an wonderful person as well. She stood right beside me through out my divorce and custody case. Defending me throughout an extremely stressful time in my life easing my fears and worries . She was always there with a kind word and exceptional knowledge of the legal system. As a mother herself she understood and sympathized with my situation. I highly recommend her !!!!!

I called Carol to discuss the divorce process on the recommendation from another client of hers. She was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful throughout the entire process. She was always very accessible and kept me informed. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for legal representation.

I had criminal cases in Kenton and Cambell county and Carol had my back. She was honest and explained things so I knew what was happening. If I need a lawyer again I'm calling her!

There are several issues that a person needs to consider before selecting a law firm and lawyer to represent them in an important legal matter. You can take my recommendation that Carol Risk is the best value in the Northern, Kentucky area, or you can do the homework yourself. These are the areas that I feel are important and where Carol delivered the greatest value: 1. Carol was always correct in her legal analysis and conclusions. 2. Carol is adept at developing sound legal strategies. 3. Carol maintains excellent communication during the course of her representation. 4. Again, Carol will respond to phone calls, email and texts within a reasonable amount of time, always. 5. Carol was always on time and prepared to represent me in my legal affairs - 100% of the time. 6. The fees Carol charges are 1/2 of a downtown Cincinnati firm, without sacrificing quality representation. 7. Carol maintains good relationships with the local attorneys and judges. 8. Carol Risk delivered a good result in my legal case. 9. The Risk Law Firm and Carol Risk is the best value in the legal community. 10. The most important reason to select Carol Risk: "Carol Risk is HONEST". You will get the best result with The Risk Firm! William

this was my first time ever going through anything like this and ever having to get a lawyer for anything. I was very pleased with everything carol had done and helped me with. She was extremely knowledgable and kept things pretty smooth as far as not having to end up in a court room in front of a judge. I highly recommend her if you are looking for custody/parenting time lawyer!!!!!
