    Michelle Eisenmenger Family Law is by far is the most unethical lawyer ive ever crossed paths with…read more I'm not sure how she even is able to practice law given her dishonest tactics. Her tactics are full of lies and excuses. She practices feelings and not law. Lawyers are supposed to submit factual information when in fact this lady will do everything in her power to lie and be dishonest. Ive been dealing with Michelle in a custody case over 1 child from a non martial past which Michelle filed false information from the beginning. Her information is bogus and full of direct lies. From Oct 2024 till now May 2025 and still going Michelle continues to delay, delay and delay by making false statements leading to confusion and delays. If you want things wrapped up in a timely manner this is not the lawyer to go with in fact she will make a simple case complicated and create turmoil between the parties with no solutions other then her lies. A example of advocating Michelle does is waste time in mediation for child custody advocating for her clients for old washers and dryers. She would rather worry about petty items vs resolving outstanding issues for the child and parents. But she obviously doesn't care about anyone involved other then dragging her feet, procrastinating to collect a pay check. Why would a lawyer with ethics submit findings that homes are paid off?? Mortgage free? But include deeds with mortgages listed on the deed in your exhibits? Isn't that a conflicting dishonest statement. That you submitted. One way or another if it didn't matter that the homes have mortgages or not it's your duty to submit facts and not lies. Case law, exhibits, or any other example you should submit factual information especially when you have it in your hands. You have access to all kinds of public data bases to make sure accurate information is submitted. Why would you continue to push false claims that business that supposedly open and operational when they are listed on the state of Kentucky website as inactive, not on tax filings and has been inactive for years? With no bank transactions happening? Because Michelle is a unethical lawyer that will push false narratives, to cause delays and drag her feet with hopes she can find a way for her lies to work. This lady is terrible at practicing law and should be avoided at all cost unless your game plan is to accomplish nothing. Michelle tactics affect everyone involved other then her. Most people want divorces, custody and child support wrapped up in a timely manner so things are figured out, lives can move forward and people can move on in life. Please avoid this lawyer if you want issues resolved or you care about your child's needs getting resolved in a timely manner

    I was very happy with Michelle and her team. I had "shopped" around for attorneys and she was the…read morefirst one that I felt truly cared for me and my situation. Her passion went beyond just working with "another client". She was available when needed and even took some of my calls after hours. She walked me through the entire process and certain situations to prepare me. My situation was unique and I was prepared to not get what I wanted as an end result. That being said, Michelle took several paths and kept working until I got the desired end result. Other attorneys I had talked to said there was no way to get it done- but, Michelle got it done. I am so thankful for her and her team for helping me through the hardest time of my life and getting my desired result.

The first attorney assigned to my case left due to issues with the owner. The 2nd attorney assigned to my case had never practiced family law before and I had a very complicated divorce/custody situation. That was when I had to terminate services. That attorney left the practice pretty quickly as well. I have 2 friends who hired and fired KLO after horrible experiences with her during divorces. It almost seemed like she preys on vulnerable women. Please, please, PLEASE do not make the same mistake I did. It was a horrible experience.

After hearing she was still operating and further behaving in the same way 8 years later, I decided to leave a review. If there were 0 star I would give that. During the 7 months she was "working" my case, here is what I experienced. Repeatedly calling her office to get updates, & she wasn't there or with another client. She would literally never take my calls. Sending her so many emails asking her to call me back, what was being done, asking for updates, and again NEVER getting any responses except for more billable hours. It eventually got so bad, and by that time I was beyond furious, mentally & emotionally exhausted that I went to her office & gave her staff A letter stating if she did not refund me my retainer in full I would be writing the Bar. I had documentated all the calls that I made never answered, all the emails ignored, and specific conversations I did have with her in which she was still " working. " Going thru a divorce is stressful enough without having a completely incompetent lawyer whose lack of communication and actual "work" is non existent is a nightmare. After all these years, seeing she is doing the same things made Me sick enough remembering that time in my life, that I had to say something. So RUN away & do NOT hire this person unless you want to feel 1000 times more stressed out than you do now.

Miss Ritsert was instructed by the Judge to communicate with me as an heir. She has defied the Judge. Miss Ritsert was also instructed by the Judge that she needs to provide an accounting of the estate to me. She still has not done this citing "shes not sure exactly what the inventory is". She has been the Attorney in this case for over 5 years, and she doesnt know what the inventory is?? This person is a very low grade attorney, and now in my opinion, is up to something fishy. DO NOT USE THIS LAWYER. Update: this case is now at the 5year mark. Still not completed, and NOTHING has been done since 8-20-2020. Its now 10-4-23. I asked the judge to call for a status, Carrie says "oh we just got the title back". It was sent 11 months ago. This lawyer is not advising "her client". She just makes motions and does nothing. My Mother didnt have much, this shouldve been over years ago. But she just lets it sit without advising her client. She takes sides between family members even though she is being entirely paid by the estate not the other family member. Does not respond at all, and does not share any info. Actually planning not to pay cremation expenses back even though I paid 100% of it, and properly filed the bill with the Jefferson County probate court. The big clue is she took the case with no money down and put her own lien on the estate. NO ONE ELSE DOES THAT, NO ONE. Everyone else wanted $1500 down. That speaks volumes to me. This is not a professional lawyer, I would steer clear. Lawyers that dont get a retainer are desperate for clients. Most likely due to incompetence.

From the very beginning, he demonstrated an unwavering commitment to my case, preparing meticulously and leaving no stone unturned. His deep understanding of the law was evident in every interaction. Allen knows the law and legal system inside and out, but he also knows how to apply everything strategically and compassionately. That's huge compared to the other attorneys I had used previously. What sets him apart is how he goes the extra mile not just in the courtroom, but in the way he communicates, listens, and supports his clients. He is always honest, responsive, and incredibly thorough. I never felt like just another case; I felt heard, respected, and protected. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, I was able to navigate a very difficult chapter of my life with confidence and clarity. I had other lawyers previously and hands down, I can't recommend Allen highly enough. He's not just a skilled attorney, he's a truly amazing advocate.

I am very pleased with the professionalism and determination of Mr. Dodd and his associates. Throughout my case, Mr Dodd responded promptly to my inquiries; he made himself available after regular working hours when needed; and, he was patient in explaining the progress of my case to me. In court, Mr Dodd was prepared and effective, having mastered the details of my case. Mr Dodd consistently countered the arguments of opposing counsel, and he was able to achieve the results we desired. I have total confidence in Allen McKee Dodd, and it is without reservation that I recommend him and his law firm.

The agreed order was completed and accepted without any issues and I was pleased. However, I was called by the secretary while at work and asked if I would drive the agreed order into court, half an hour away. I said no and it was then filed electronically. I then asked for a custody arrangement to be drafted. He took a stock custody form and changed some words around, even forgetting to change some "children" to "child", which I had to point out. There were multiple emails due to his incapability to understand. I had to tell him my child's birthday twice. He added an unwanted paragraph halfway through drafts which I had to ask him to remove several times. I explained what I needed regarding a specific paragraph several times and he did not seem to understand, which resulted in emails back & forth to correct it. He asked me to consult with my ex, which I did not want to do. The office would not provide me with a breakdown to show my time/money spent when I asked for it to gauge my budget. I was billed $2500+ total for the agreed order and custody arrangement, which has never been signed or put into court; evidently it is still sitting unsigned at my ex husband's lawyer's two months later. I terminated the contract after receiving the bill, explaining that it was much higher than I expected. He is the absolute worst at communicating. I definitely do not recommend this lawyer to anyone.
