Biography
Kris M. Nevels is a prominent attorney at Nevels & Associates in Covington, Kentucky.

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.

Great council to have at your side!
Kris represented me on two different occasions. One was a criminal defense case, and the other a custody battle. I can say that on both counts he knocked it out of the park. He was very diligent in fighting for me, and resolved each issue fairly, and justly.
