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.

professional

I hired Mr Carlovsky over a year ago and really like him and his staff. never have had any problems and they all have been more then kind to me during this hardship. Mike is very detailed and professional and will fight for you. Sara is the most amazing , understanding asset to the office of Mr Carl...ovsky. I truly recommend Mr Carlovsky and his staff to anyone seeking counsel . unfortunately I'm still going thur this process and could take months. any type of legal action could take years . I'm very thankful i have Mr Carlovsky and staff specially sara thats been thur this process with me through out from day one as well ,to represent me at this time .

Competent and Smart

Divorce is emotional and messy. I cried on my friend’s shoulder; I vented my anger in counseling; and I relied on Mike Carlovsky to be my guide through the maze of Family Law. Mike knows how to navigate through the complex laws and the court system. My divorce went on for over three years. Mostly,... because the opposing party wanted to fight. Mike was always fully prepared when we went to court. He was calm and reasonable, even when I was nervous and anxious. With his sound knowledge of family law, he kept me grounded when I ranted or sobbed about the unfairness of the system. He was also great at strategy. Charlie, Mike’s paralegal, was excellent at answering emails and preparing court documents. I always reviewed all the documents, and she was willing to consider my perspective, to fix any factual errors and to make corrections. If you must get divorced, I highly recommend you let Mike Carlovsky guide you through the process.

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.

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
