Great Lawyer bad staff

Mike did a good job on my case, as much as he could. However I have unfortunately been in the family law system over 10 years and have had numerous attys and I have to say the paralegal is horrible. If you want to pay someone to tell you what to do not show any care for your case and make you feel li...ke a nuisance then his paralegal is for you. The worst I have experienced to date.

Michael Carlovsky

I am so glad that I took the recommendation of several friends to obtain Mr. Carlovsky As my attorney in my divorce proceedings. What I thought was going to be a very easy divorce has become very complicated and in these difficult times I have had his entire staff at his office there to help me get ...through it. I feel very valued as a client as well as a Mother trying to protect her child. I appreciate Mr. Carlovsky and Sierra making sure everything is prepared and executed with the utmost accuracy and timely matter. I highly recommend this law office.

Attentive & Knowledgeable

I consulted with many attorneys in the early stages of my divorce. Mr. Carlovsky and Sarah were very attentive and knowledgeable. They were comforting during a trying time, and always made themselves available for even the smallest details. During the process, my ex wife and her attorney were rapidly... losing their grip on reality and reason. Mr. Carlovsky and Sarah exhibited nothing less than class and character.

Professional Family Law Team

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.

Amazing legal 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.
