Michael P. Carman

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.

If anyone has experienced the fleecing and price gouging that I personally encountered from attorney Michael Carman (formerly of Law Offices of Kunin and Carman), there is recourse! I received a binding DECISION yesterday from the Nevada fee dispute program in the amount of $11,257.50! While it d...oesn't cover the full $21,000.00 I lost, it's a start. They even point out that he dropped my case on the eve of my trial. Save yourself the hassle!.... but more importantly a panel of His peers saw it my way (2 attorney's and 1 lay person ). Case #FD15-06* if readers are interested. They also address his excessive fees. Quote: Michael Carman's "charge of 4% to cover costs is determined to be excessive and unreasonable and therefore NOT ALLOWED in light of the fact that Respondent (Carman) charged for ALL itemized expenses." "All work negotiations and preparation for trial were WITHOUT merit and of NO value".

terrible experience, handled my divorce exactly how I asked him not to, ran up legal fees for no reason and after it was all said and done I got what I initially told him to offer, the only one that did well was him and his firm. In addition, I had to follow-up with him as I was left in the dark thro...ughout the process, talked a good game in the beginning tho! but fumbled it the rest of the way and in front of the judge as well.
