Michael Andrew Carlovsky

I have been extremely pleased with Mr. Carlovsky and his legal team. He is the third attorney on my divorce case (the first one retired a year into the process and the second one closed her law practice to become a Court Commissioner). Ever since I hired him I have actually been making progress on ...my divorce and the end is in sight. Mr. Carlovsky is no-nonsense and he explains all of the intricacies of Kern County Family Court so that I understand the entire process and I know what to expect. I especially love his paralegal, Sarah, who I have been working with closely with throughout the proceedings. She is extremely helpful, professional, and efficient. Valle, the receptionist, is also amazing. With so much at stake, you want an attorney that you can trust. I am very happy to have such a tenacious legal team as Mr. Carlovsky and Sarah working on my case.

Prior to reaching out to Carlovsky, I originally signed on with another attorney because I felt comfortable with that attorney. After 8 years, you realize comfort is not what does best in court. I truly wish I would have signed on with Mike and his amazing team in the beginning, as I know things wo...uld have been different for us. I have been blessed to be with their offices for about 5 years now, and I haven’t looked back. We have had excellent results in court, and I have never been fed a false narrative about what will be done for us. I’ve read the other reviews, and was surprised. I’ve worked with both Sara and Charlie. They are both professional and extremely well-versed in their knowledge of family law. Unfortunately, their business is not an easy one. Family law is built on emotions and an overburdened system. I would recommend their law offices (and have on numerous occasions) to anyone going through a divorce or custody dispute. They are passionate about their work and fair with their clients. If you truly understood what they do both in court and behind the scenes, there would be no complaints. Invoices are thoroughly detailed defining each charge, and have never included any questionable items. Divorce, especially that involving child custody, is absolutely awful, but Mike and his staff have made our journey far easier.

I can't tell you how happy I am with Mr. Carlovsky. I talked to three lawyers and chose Mike. Best decision I ever made. My wife went crazy after 40 years of marriage and he and his staff kept me from losing my mind. He has been so helpful and his staff answers questions almost immediately. My wife c...hose one of the lawyers I was recommended bad move on her part. One more thing he tries to save me money. Imagine that. Marty Trahan

First, I'd like to say that anytime you need a family lawyer, life isn't going great but it will get better. Lawyers are expensive but necessary and Mike Carlovsky treated me with the utmost respect when he could have turned me away. I had started my divorce by hiring an inexpensive lawyer that was ...so inept I temporarily lost custody of my kids to their father. Mike took over my case and he and his staff made the transition easy for me. Ultimately, he helped me get my children back. I was awarded child support and even some court costs. Second, the court system is an extremely slow process. Patience is key. Mike and Sarah eased my nerves by explaining how it all works and made the process go as quickly as possible. Mike and his team went above and beyond. They explored every avenue, answered every question, eased my nerves and won my case. I couldn't recommend them more!

I was involved in an 18 year unhappy marriage with two children, one an adult the other a Junior in high school. I was referred to Mike Carlovsky by my now fiancée. He immediately took me in for a consultation and we hit it off immediately. He was a consummate professional that knows his way around t...he courtroom. His staff was awesome and were very responsive to my concerns and prompt in preparing the paperwork for court. Divorce is an expensive endeavor, but just like everything else in the world “You get what you pay for.” I ultimately ended up with primary custody of my son and Mike has successfully defended attempts by my now ex-wife to increase alimony as well. Kudos to Mike and the Carlovsky team. They truly care about their clients.
