About Kristopher

Biography

I help people through some of the hardest moments of their lives—whether they’re facing criminal charges or recovering from a serious injury. My focus is simple: protect my clients, give straight answers, and fight for results.

Relentless criminal defense for people who need their life, freedom, and future protected. I fight for clients across Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati in DUI, drug, assault, and felony cases—bringing strategy, experience, and real courtroom advocacy to every case.

If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, I fight to make it right. I work directly with my clients and represent injury victims across Northern Kentucky in auto, truck, and serious injury cases—focused on real results, real accountability, and real recovery.

Referral for an Attorney

I hired Attorney Nevels for representation in a criminal case. And the job he performed was Nothing but Thorough and Excellent. He is very specific as to the job he's going to perform, he's compassionate and shows genuine concern. He was able to amend/reduce & resolve my charge. I would definitely... use him again and or recommend him to anyone in Need of professional services.

Kris is Awesome.

Kris is very hands on and kept me updated through the entire process. He didn’t stop fighting until he reached the max amount for my claim. I will definitely recommend him. Thanks Kris for everything.

Professional, knowledgeable and compassionate

Kris represented me previously and was nothing short of amazing. He explained the process, helped me weigh the options and negotiated the best possible outcome for me. I was able to move on with life in a short amount of time with minimal impact. After a recent car accident, I immediately turned to ...Kris again for my personal injury case. He set out immediately to thoroughly educate me on how and WHY things work in these cases, what he needed to make this a solid, successful case and ensure that my treatments would be covered. He was sensitive to the financial impact my injuries and lack of work had and he helped me identify and negotiate options to maintain until the case settles.

GREAT FIRST TIME EXPERIENCE

Kris guided me through the entire legal process. I’ve never had to hire an attorney before and Kris came highly recommended to me. His work ethic, professionalism, and commitment to my case was fantastic. He always kept me up to date on what was going on and what actions I needed to take. It was a p...leasure working with him and I would definitely recommend him to others!!
