Carol Lavonn Risk

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 kn...ew 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.

In a male-dominated industry, Carol isn't afraid to stand up and fight for her client. Carol's previous experience as a child support prosecutor is a huge advantage when litigating for support. The experience gave her the knowledge and understanding of what I could realistically anticipate to be ...awarded. My ex was voluntarily underemployed. With proper documentation Carol was able to prove his income potential and her estimate was spot-on what the judge awarded after imputing his wages. Carol had litigated in my judge’s courtroom many times prior so she knew exactly what the judge expected... organization and no drama. Carol was prepared and extremely organized, three copies of each exhibit already marked in order. She had thoroughly thought through my case, knowing exactly what to present and when. As hard-nosed as she is in the courtroom though, she is the exact opposite sitting in her office. She too is a mom, so she completely understood my concerns for my children. She is compassionate and very easy to talk to. On my last visit to her office I noticed a plaque on the wall. Carol is nationally ranked in the 10% percent of women attorneys under 40 years old. While I didn't notice the plaque previously, I was definitely not surprised when I read it. Carol is a nationally ranked, class act attorney!
