Michael P. Carman

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.

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!

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!

Michael is an awesome family attorney.I was in a desperate state after being told that my Ex was planning to relocate out of state with our children. From the moment I met with Michael I had the confidence that if anyone could help me it would be him. We were embroiled in a lengthy battle however I... never doubted his resolve and ability to get me a just outcome.He won the case and the outcome has been tremendous for my children. I have since recommended him to several of my friends and would vouch for him in any situation involving a complex family issue.

From consultation to becoming a client and then to finalizing my divorce, Michael and team were always available for any questions or concerns. They genuinely seemed to have my best interest come first and kept everything moving at a quick pace regardless. It was reassuring to work with this group ...while going though a life changing event.
