Review - Mike Carman - Family Law

Mike partnered with Corinne in 2016, They are currently and have been working on my case for over a year. He has been a great asset to me with my family law case(child support, custody, and evaluations). The circumstances of my case still bring us to court because of my ex . With his abilities, Mik...e was able to get the court to see my side and help my children. I recommend Mike and Corinne at The Fine, Carman & Price Family Las Attorneys to anyone looking for a family attorney.

A damn good Lawyer.

I actually met Michael by accident. I was a single father trying to get custody of his son after my girlfriend was advised by legal council to leave the state without consent. The way the laws were written, there are nearly no protections afforded single fathers. I was actually using a different l...awyer, and due to a very biased judge, I was only allowed to see my son 9 days a month, and I was ordered to pay $693 a month Child support. Michael worked very hard on our appeal to the state supreme court, and while we were not able to overturn the decision of the original judge (one who is no longer serving as a family judge in the state of Nevada), we were able to get legislation introduced to help cement the rights of unwed fathers in Nevada. I see the people that gave him low reviews complained that he overcharged them. I can't speak for that, but I can tell you that he did all the work on my case, which would have been well in excess of $100k completely Pro Bono. While he was unable to get help for me, I do not believe it was due to anything he did wrong, but due to an incorrect decision by the state Supreme Court of the State of Nevada.

The Best Family Lawyer in Nevada

Mike helped me over many years through a nasty divorce with a lot of assets, then helped me adopt and gain full custody of my stepchildren in a subsequent marriage, and has helped several of my friends in their custody disputes. His knowledge of the law and most importantly, the judges overseeing... the cases in Nevada is second to none. Not only is he a brilliant lawyer and absolute hawk in deposition/interrogation situations, but he is a genuinely good person who will always be a straight shooter. He doesn't sugar coat things to steal your money like most family lawyers. He always has the best interest of his clients at heart and will fight diligently and intelligently for your side. Highly recommended!

Best in Las Vegas

Hired him to handle out of state child custody case and he was prompt with his communications and made it so I didn't have to travel several times to court. I had hired two attorneys in Las Vegas previously who had not been able to conclude the case in a reasonable fashion. He did the complete opposi...te and I had it all resolved within the year. I would recommend him to anyone who is seeking a family lawyer that gets down to business. My children are much happier after our case was finalized and I am so thankful for his help.

A Great Family Attorney!

Mike was my attorney for our divorce 4 years ago and continues to be the person I turn to whenever we end up back in court again (which has been several times). It was unfortunately a long, highly contested divorce which included disputes regarding the care of a special needs child. Mike took the t...ime to understand the issues and has been a great support and advocate for both myself and the children. It is reassuring to have someone who remembers all of the important details. Mike has the experience to be able to sift thru the mountains of information to determine what is important to present to the court. Mike's documents are well written and he is able to articulate well in the courtroom- both aspects you need to have your position prevail. Mike is highly recommended- thanks for all the years of assistance and support!
