Great family law office

As the mother of two young children, going through a divorce has been very stressful, but Michael Carlovsky and his paralegal, Sierra Lock have been wonderful. Sierra is very knowledgeable and responsive. I never have to wait long for a response whether it's by email or a phone call. Sierra has reall...y put my mind at ease and I truly feel that she and Michael are in my corner during this stressful time. It has been a smooth process as far as time, and there have been no surprises regarding fees, as they are very clearly outlined in the contract. Michael and his staff are very trustworthy and professional, as well as friendly. While divorce is never pleasant, I highly recommend Michael Carlovsky and Sierra Lock.

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.

Excellent Legal Representation

I highly recommend Mike Carlovsky and his professional team who were able to effectively represent me during my separation and divorce. Mike listened carefully to the details of my case and was able to properly advise me on my subsequent questions and concerns. I trusted Mike and his team on the ty...pe of strategy to implement for my case and was very satisfied with the end result. I was treated with respect and Mike effectively fought my case much to my satisfaction. I highly recommend Mike Carlovsky and his team.

I was already divorced

My brother recommended me to Mr. Carlovsky and his team of professionals. I was divorced for 10 years. My first attorney had retired. I needed an attorney to help with a issue of spousal support. I meet Mr. Carlovsky he is great and I known Sarah. I did hire him and his staff. I will recommend to fam...ily and friends.

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.
