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.

Carlovsky Law

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.

Confident and Legally Sound Representation

I hired Michael Carlovsky and his competent team to assist me in my family law matter. Mike is very knowledgeable and worked extremely hard on my behalf. He will give you sound legal advice, which will include being honest about what can and cannot be legally done. I like that he is realistic abou...t what can be accomplished within the law. I have always found Mike , his staff and especially Charlie, to be clear in their communication with me. I felt informed and consulted every step of the way of my legal journey.

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.

Smart attorney with straight answers

I've retained Mike to represent me in two highly contested divorce cases. We won one and lost one, but I still think very highly of Michael Carlovsky as an attorney and a good, honest person. He was always fair and a straight shooter when laying out our options, the associated fees and our odds for... success. To be honest, I don't like the family law system, but if you need an experienced and well prepared attorney to represent you, I would highly recommended Michael Carlovsky.
