my divorce/custody case
From moment one, Ms Risner conducted her attorney/knowledge of family law savy, genuine passion for that what Is right, not simply profitable & finally her daily professional determination to be the best attorney possible...

I wish that she had been on my side....
Although Ms. Risner represented my ex-husband, she did her best for him, and I acknowledge that. Yes, I would have preferred that she had been able to discourage him from lying to the court in trial and subsequent filings, but I admire that she drew a line where she said she would no longer help...
