Michael Andrew Carlovsky

I had to return to court a year later after my divorce was final. My ex-husband remarried and he wanted to reevaluate child visitation. Mr. Carlovsky took my case and even got me an increase in child support. Visitation was settled and fair for both parities. The only problem was with my ex's attorne...y and the laziness of their staff which required Mr. Carlovsky's team to work harder on my behalf. I am satisfied and recommend them.

Mr. Carlovsky is very professional, knowledgeable, and has surrounded himself with an excellent team in his office. Mr. Carlovsky’s paralegal Sarah Stertzbach is very punctual in filing the paperwork and would always return my phone calls. First, they assisted in filing a substitution of attorney be...cause my first retained attorney, who is much respected in the Bakersfield area, did not provide a reasonable professional service. Mr. Carlovsky had my case resolved in a very timely manner which saved me thousands of dollars in legal cost. If you want an attorney who has the patience to listen to you so they understand your family law needs, but is a bull in the courtroom to produce results, retain the Carlovsky’s Team.

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.

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.
