35 Days for an Annulment- WOW! Thanks Mike and team

I hired Michael Carman on a referral from my trust attorney in NV. Mike and I met on a Monday, I hired him on the spot, my complaint was filed 3 days later and he and his team (Maria, Missy, Emma, Stephanie and Robin) worked diligently to successful gain an annulment for me in 35 days!! Mike is cr...ystal clear, to the point & most importantly does NOT waste your time or money. Mike is very approachable and available. He ONLY wants what is best for the client and encourages his clients to move on when the divorce is done. This was the BEST experience I have ever had with an attorney. Thank you Mike and team.

Beware

Ran up huge ($70,000) fees for divorce which should have ended sooner and much differently. Failed to file documentation in timely manner, asked for detailed docs but effectively did no use them, threatened to withdraw one week before trial if I didn't agree to a very unfair settlement despite being ...paid an additional 10K to "get us through trial". Unprepared for a deposition which was a farce. Beware.

This posting is not at all accurate. Not every client approaches their divorce case in a rational manner and can accept the realities of divorce litigation. Unfortunately, cases become expensive when clients are not honest with their attorneys, continuously refuse to follow the advice of their counsel, and are unhealthily angry toward the other party to the point where they cannot see the realities of their own case.

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!

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!

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.
