Child Custody Case

Michael and the Carlovsky law office team did a great job in representing my in my child custody case. Mike and his team (Sarah) where very informative on walking me through this difficult process and ultimately achieved a custody settlement that was more than fair including joint and legal guardian...ship.

AWESOME

I interviewed several attorneys before hiring Mr. Carlovsky to handle a child custody / child support issue. Family Court is never a comfortable place to be, but Mike and his team, including Sarah, did an outstanding job in representing me through the entire process. I was always kept informed of t...he status of my case and ultimately had as favorable an outcome as was possible. I highly recommend Mr. Carlovsky.

Smart attorney with straight answers

I've retained Mike to represent me in two highly contested divorce cases. We won one and lost one, but I still think very highly of Michael Carlovsky as an attorney and a good, honest person. He was always fair and a straight shooter when laying out our options, the associated fees and our odds for... success. To be honest, I don't like the family law system, but if you need an experienced and well prepared attorney to represent you, I would highly recommended Michael Carlovsky.

Great Legal Team

I hire M. Carlovsky for my divorce. Not only did I get him, I also hire a Great Team (his staff) that was there for me. There were a lot of people giving me bad advise and say things like your going to lose your home and not see your kid. Carlovsky help me keep my home and my child and I'm Dad. Ever...yone's case is different. He was honest with me and took the time to explain law and how it would work on my case. I listen to his legal advise and follow it. I'm not going to tell you I won because I don't feel there are any winners in a divorce. What I will say is after it was final that he did a great job on my case. I recommend Michael A Carlovsky

Worst mistake

I hired this lawyer two years ago for a simple undisputed divorce. At first he seemed like a real fighter, but when my ex didn't fight anything, he just let his paralegal Sarah take over. The paper work was wrong several times and when I would call they were rude to me. A lot of the time she wouldn'...t call me back. Then after that they dropped me and said they remove themselves from my case. My case still isn't finished and now i am lost. I do not recommend this lawyer at all.
