About Candice
Candice Combs built a legal path that stretches from communications studies to courtroom work and mediation. She earned a B.A. in communications from the University of Kentucky in 1981 and later returned to law school, receiving her J.D. from Liberty University School of Law in 2015. Those two degrees frame a career that blends advocacy, dispute resolution, and advisory roles.
Her early legal work included a role as an associate lawyer at Carolina Legal Associate in 2013. That period gave her hands-on experience in client matters and case preparation. In 2019 she served as an Assistant Commonwealth Lawyer for the Prosecutor’s Advisory Counsel. That position placed her within the prosecutorial advisory structure, where she worked on issues tied to criminal process and the responsibilities of Commonwealth’s offices.
Also in 2019 she became the owner of Sunrise Mediation Associates. That move marked a visible turn toward alternative dispute resolution. She subsequently established Candice Combs, PLLC, where she now operates her practice. The firm listing reflects a move into solo practice and small-firm management. Her work has spanned public-sector advisory roles and private practice responsibilities.
Combs holds a mediation certification from the Kentucky Bar Association. The credential signals formal training and qualification to act as a mediator in civil and other disputes. Mediation work draws on the communication background from her undergraduate studies and the procedural knowledge from her legal training. She has combined those skill sets in courtroom support, advisory roles for prosecutors, and neutral dispute resolution settings.
Colleagues describe her approach as pragmatic. She has experience preparing matters for trial and resolving conflicts at the bargaining table. Her practice reflects a balance between advocacy and facilitation. She has worked on matters that require careful case assessment, negotiation, and an understanding of prosecutorial and civil processes in Kentucky.
Her office operates in Kentucky, and her practice remains focused on services that include mediation and related legal work. She manages client intake, case strategy, and mediation sessions through Candice Combs, PLLC. Her current work centers on mediation and other legal services offered from her firm in Kentucky.
