Carol Lavonn Risk

We met Carol and she seemed wonderful. After hiring her and sending her everything needed for the case about 2 weeks went by with no word from her or her paralegal. After leaving message, after message, after email still nothing back. My husband had finally got in touch with her paralegal and asked i...f the motion had been filed, she said I don't know I will call you back and never did. A couple days went by he called again left another message and still no call back. I sent a email the following day no response. I finally called and left her a very direct message and her paralegal called my husband very annoyed and said the motion hadn't been filed and she didn't know why and Carol would call him back. That was 3 weeks after we sent everything over for the motion to be filed and paid $200 to get started, because that is what her paralegal said to pay. About 3 more days went by no callback from Carol or Susan so he tried calling again. Left another message, more days went by nothing not even a peep. Finally after 3 1/2 weeks went by without Carol or Susan calling us to let us know what was going on I reached out to whom recommended her and let him know the situation. He called me back & said Carol said we needed to pay a retainer and sign a contract. NEWS to us!!! not 1 time in four weeks did her paralegal or herself take the time to let us know this. After calling almost 10 times leaving several message, 2 emails nothing back on why the motion hadn't been filed and now we're finding out by who recommended us we needed to sign a contract and pay a retainer. When we met with her face to face she said she would do it hourly and no retainer was needed! Now her and her paralegal have wasted a month of our time and not even tried to reach out to us in 4 weeks. My husband then called & demanded his money back and fired her. After that she didn't even bother to reach out and apologize for anything.This was completely the worst service we have ever dealt with! Her paralegal is beyond unprofessional! I can't believe it's ok in her line of work to ignore EVERY singe voicemail and email! I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU LOOK ELSEWHERE.

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 represe...ntation.

I spoke with several lawyers before Carol Risk. She returned my call promptly and her rates were within reason. She scheduled a time to meet several days later regarding my divorce. She was very thorough and explained how certain information would protect me in the future even if I did not see a n...eed for it now. Better save now than sorry later. I really wanted to have the divorce completed by the end of the year. Carol Risk called me personally on the morning of Christmas Eve to inform me the judge had signed the papers and the divorce was final, giving me a new start with a new year. If you are in need of a lawyer, I would highly recommend Carol Risk and her firm.

Carol is an excellent attorney. She recently represented me in a child support case and I couldn't have made a better choice. She is compassionate, supportive, tenacious and dedicated to serving her clients. She was very committed to my case from the start and has made herself available to me in the... future with my case if needed. I highly recommend Carol.
