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.

Michael Carman brought an end to years of difficulty with my ex-wife

I spent two years trying to come to a cordial agreement with my ex-wife, specifically on establishing paternity with my daughter. I continued to pay child support without missing a payment, but I needed to establish paternity jurisdiction as she was frequently moving around in the Las Vegas valley, t...alking about leaving to other states, then dodging phone calls and meetings with me while I was trying to get something formal in place. Both attorneys I hired before Michael Carman simply gave up as my ex-wife moved to a military base, making it very difficult to get her served. Michael Carman however, knew a process server who worked with me to finally get her served. I will never forget how good that day felt. After which, he was an excellent liaison between my ex-wife and I until we came to a mutual agreement, and we were able to resolve the issue peacefully. I will definitely be working with Michael Carman in the future, and would certainly recommend him as a great attorney to anyone who could use his expertise.

Outstanding attorney

I am beyond thankful for Michael's guidance and support throughout my difficult divorce/custody issues. He was compassionate, level headed, and genuine each time I sought his help. Throughout these trying times, Michael and his office kept me fully informed on the progress of my case. He responded to... my emails, returned my phones calls, and his advice on issues ranging from custody to child support were always spot on. Without fail, Michael has successfully fought for me and my children's best interest both inside and outside the courtroom. As such, It is without reservation that I recommend Michael Carmen.
