Michael Andrew Carlovsky

Recently used Mike as my divorce lawyer and was impressed. Upon originally meeting with him we set a retainer and timeline. I was in constant contact with his staff and was made aware of the current status of my case as we moved through the motions. What could have been a very messy divorce was manag...eable. The biggest issue was waiting for our wonderful California court system to get the paperwork processed and filed. Charlie the Paralegal/Office manager was great to work with. She would explain what the next steps were and what was going on in a way that was understandable.

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.

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

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.
