Carlovsky Review

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.

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.

Great lawyer

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

Above and beyond

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!
