Carlovsky Review

Recently used Mike as my divorce lawyer and was impressed. Upon originally meeting with him we set a retainer and timeline. I was in constant contact with his staff and was made aware of the current status of my case as we moved through the motions. What could have been a very messy divorce was manag...eable. The biggest issue was waiting for our wonderful California court system to get the paperwork processed and filed. Charlie the Paralegal/Office manager was great to work with. She would explain what the next steps were and what was going on in a way that was understandable.

Great Lawyer bad staff

Mike did a good job on my case, as much as he could. However I have unfortunately been in the family law system over 10 years and have had numerous attys and I have to say the paralegal is horrible. If you want to pay someone to tell you what to do not show any care for your case and make you feel li...ke a nuisance then his paralegal is for you. The worst I have experienced to date.

Michael Carlovsky

I am so glad that I took the recommendation of several friends to obtain Mr. Carlovsky As my attorney in my divorce proceedings. What I thought was going to be a very easy divorce has become very complicated and in these difficult times I have had his entire staff at his office there to help me get ...through it. I feel very valued as a client as well as a Mother trying to protect her child. I appreciate Mr. Carlovsky and Sierra making sure everything is prepared and executed with the utmost accuracy and timely matter. I highly recommend this law office.

Attentive & Knowledgeable

I consulted with many attorneys in the early stages of my divorce. Mr. Carlovsky and Sarah were very attentive and knowledgeable. They were comforting during a trying time, and always made themselves available for even the smallest details. During the process, my ex wife and her attorney were rapidly... losing their grip on reality and reason. Mr. Carlovsky and Sarah exhibited nothing less than class and character.

Returned to Court

I had to return to court a year later after my divorce was final. My ex-husband remarried and he wanted to reevaluate child visitation. Mr. Carlovsky took my case and even got me an increase in child support. Visitation was settled and fair for both parities. The only problem was with my ex's attorne...y and the laziness of their staff which required Mr. Carlovsky's team to work harder on my behalf. I am satisfied and recommend them.
