I hired Michael Carlovsky to represent me in a child custody and support case where I had previously represented myself. Carlovsky and his staff showed me the utmost respect and professionalism. When Mr. Carlovsky was attending other cases in court his paralegal Sarah always responded to my questions and concerns within a timely manner; they were always accessible to my needs. Mr. Carlovsky fought for everything that I wanted and needed for my child, and won! He and his staff are well educated and know the law. I am forever grateful for what Carlovsky Law Office did for my child and I.

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!

From the moment I walked into Michael Carlovsky's office, I was treated with respect, professionalism and care by Mike and his staff. I hired him on the spot as I knew this was the attorney for me. Through our highly litigated case in an adversarial arena, Mike is an excellent attorney that is respected by his peers, by the court and by me for his knowledge of family law and his delivery of the law. He is a man of integrity and honorable character that is unshakeable and that has guided me through difficult times in our case and has personally kept my spirits positive and focused when things got tough. He has my best interests at heart and has connected me with the top additional professionals needed for my case that now make up my team. His staff is professional, on point with their communication and preparation of everything I have needed. Keeping me informed of all the details, court hearing and dates of my case. They have also been a source of comfort and laughter when I have needed it through difficult times. I highly recommend Michael Carlovsky as one of the top attorneys in Bakersfield.

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 would 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 hired Mr Carlovsky over a year ago and really like him and his staff. never have had any problems and they all have been more then kind to me during this hardship. Mike is very detailed and professional and will fight for you. Sara is the most amazing , understanding asset to the office of Mr Carlovsky. I truly recommend Mr Carlovsky and his staff to anyone seeking counsel . unfortunately I'm still going thur this process and could take months. any type of legal action could take years . I'm very thankful i have Mr Carlovsky and staff specially sara thats been thur this process with me through out from day one as well ,to represent me at this time .

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.

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 the 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.

Hired Mike to terminate spousal support. Mike and Staff got my spousal support completely terminated. Staff was really on it and always kept me informed. Good professional office.
