Aggressive Advocate

I had hired Carla to represent me in my divorce a few years ago. She is an experienced, aggressive advocate who knows the law. She works very hard for her clients and she has the respect of the attorneys who she faces in Court. Top notch.

'Top Notch' Negotiator - 'Pit Bull with Pearls On.'

Three years ago Carla represented me in what I will say was the most humbling time of my life. As a professional, I had to come to terms emotionally and legally with the recourse of a DUI incident that was complicated in nature. I am grateful beyond words to Carla, who proactively worked the proce...ss and negotiated my acceptance into the ARD program. There were a few loopholes in this case which would have prohibited my acceptance; however, Carla sought reconsideration via other criteria and won. She also negotiated withdrawal of related citations directly with the officer (the complicated part I mentioned) and expungement of the same. She walked me through the process and supported me along the way with what i needed to do to be accepted. As a former ADA, she 'knows' the process to represent the best defense and negotiate 1:1 with the DA. She is crisp, diligent, and professional. , Carla also has the people skills to keep her client calm. (i.e. me). As others noted, she keeps you apprised as things move and is reachable. I told my husband that she will be my divorce lawyer someday! :) And lastly, UBER is my 'friend!' #gratefulclient

Excellent Attorney!

Carla is diligent and very prepared. She handled part of my divorce case and I came out on top! If it wasn't for Carla I would have lost everything!!! If you want to win I recommend Carla Risoldi!

Divorce/Child Custody

Carla was my attorney 18 years ago. It was the most horrible time in my life. My X was brutal with switching attorney's, dragging out the process. Carla was on top of it all they way. I still to this day recommend her as a knowledgeable divorce attorney. I also had a fall and she recommend someo...ne to me and told me to get on it. Again, her knowledge made the process move along quickly and easily. If you are looking for someone to work with you during the most horrible time of your life, she's the attorney for you.

Divorce/Custody

Carla not only represented me during the most difficult time of my life, but gave me strength and hope where there was none for years. She answered emails immediately and always kept me informed of what was going on. Her communication skills are one of her many strong points. She is extremely knowled...geable in her field and it shows. Dealing with the law and going to court is very scary and intimidating. Carla made me feel very comfortable with her by my side. She handles your legal matters yet shows empathy for your situation at the same time. Without her I would have walked away broken and broke.
