I hired Michael Carman on a referral from my trust attorney in NV. Mike and I met on a Monday, I hired him on the spot, my complaint was filed 3 days later and he and his team (Maria, Missy, Emma, Stephanie and Robin) worked diligently to successful gain an annulment for me in 35 days!! Mike is crystal clear, to the point & most importantly does NOT waste your time or money. Mike is very approachable and available. He ONLY wants what is best for the client and encourages his clients to move on when the divorce is done. This was the BEST experience I have ever had with an attorney. Thank you Mike and team.

Mike partnered with Corinne in 2016, They are currently and have been working on my case for over a year. He has been a great asset to me with my family law case(child support, custody, and evaluations). The circumstances of my case still bring us to court because of my ex . With his abilities, Mike was able to get the court to see my side and help my children. I recommend Mike and Corinne at The Fine, Carman & Price Family Las Attorneys to anyone looking for a family attorney.

I actually met Michael by accident. I was a single father trying to get custody of his son after my girlfriend was advised by legal council to leave the state without consent. The way the laws were written, there are nearly no protections afforded single fathers. I was actually using a different lawyer, and due to a very biased judge, I was only allowed to see my son 9 days a month, and I was ordered to pay $693 a month Child support. Michael worked very hard on our appeal to the state supreme court, and while we were not able to overturn the decision of the original judge (one who is no longer serving as a family judge in the state of Nevada), we were able to get legislation introduced to help cement the rights of unwed fathers in Nevada. I see the people that gave him low reviews complained that he overcharged them. I can't speak for that, but I can tell you that he did all the work on my case, which would have been well in excess of $100k completely Pro Bono. While he was unable to get help for me, I do not believe it was due to anything he did wrong, but due to an incorrect decision by the state Supreme Court of the State of Nevada.

I spent two years trying to come to a cordial agreement with my ex-wife, specifically on establishing paternity with my daughter. I continued to pay child support without missing a payment, but I needed to establish paternity jurisdiction as she was frequently moving around in the Las Vegas valley, talking about leaving to other states, then dodging phone calls and meetings with me while I was trying to get something formal in place. Both attorneys I hired before Michael Carman simply gave up as my ex-wife moved to a military base, making it very difficult to get her served. Michael Carman however, knew a process server who worked with me to finally get her served. I will never forget how good that day felt. After which, he was an excellent liaison between my ex-wife and I until we came to a mutual agreement, and we were able to resolve the issue peacefully. I will definitely be working with Michael Carman in the future, and would certainly recommend him as a great attorney to anyone who could use his expertise.

If anyone has experienced the fleecing and price gouging that I personally encountered from attorney Michael Carman (formerly of Law Offices of Kunin and Carman), there is recourse! I received a binding DECISION yesterday from the Nevada fee dispute program in the amount of $11,257.50! While it doesn't cover the full $21,000.00 I lost, it's a start. They even point out that he dropped my case on the eve of my trial. Save yourself the hassle!.... but more importantly a panel of His peers saw it my way (2 attorney's and 1 lay person ). Case #FD15-06* if readers are interested. They also address his excessive fees. Quote: Michael Carman's "charge of 4% to cover costs is determined to be excessive and unreasonable and therefore NOT ALLOWED in light of the fact that Respondent (Carman) charged for ALL itemized expenses." "All work negotiations and preparation for trial were WITHOUT merit and of NO value".

Ran up huge ($70,000) fees for divorce which should have ended sooner and much differently. Failed to file documentation in timely manner, asked for detailed docs but effectively did no use them, threatened to withdraw one week before trial if I didn't agree to a very unfair settlement despite being paid an additional 10K to "get us through trial". Unprepared for a deposition which was a farce. Beware.

Mike helped me over many years through a nasty divorce with a lot of assets, then helped me adopt and gain full custody of my stepchildren in a subsequent marriage, and has helped several of my friends in their custody disputes. His knowledge of the law and most importantly, the judges overseeing the cases in Nevada is second to none. Not only is he a brilliant lawyer and absolute hawk in deposition/interrogation situations, but he is a genuinely good person who will always be a straight shooter. He doesn't sugar coat things to steal your money like most family lawyers. He always has the best interest of his clients at heart and will fight diligently and intelligently for your side. Highly recommended!

Hired him to handle out of state child custody case and he was prompt with his communications and made it so I didn't have to travel several times to court. I had hired two attorneys in Las Vegas previously who had not been able to conclude the case in a reasonable fashion. He did the complete opposite and I had it all resolved within the year. I would recommend him to anyone who is seeking a family lawyer that gets down to business. My children are much happier after our case was finalized and I am so thankful for his help.

When picking a Lawyer make sure it is someone you will be able to work with for a long period of time. I am going on 4 years with Mike and I feel I made the right choice. Mike is excellent at getting things done for me and in court. He has always guided me the right way so far. I hate court and for the most part Mike is able to solve issues between lawyers and keep us out of court. I email him all hours and he gives me great advice to calm me down. Don't go through this nightmare alone pick someone you like and will be able to be yourself with.

Mike was my attorney for our divorce 4 years ago and continues to be the person I turn to whenever we end up back in court again (which has been several times). It was unfortunately a long, highly contested divorce which included disputes regarding the care of a special needs child. Mike took the time to understand the issues and has been a great support and advocate for both myself and the children. It is reassuring to have someone who remembers all of the important details. Mike has the experience to be able to sift thru the mountains of information to determine what is important to present to the court. Mike's documents are well written and he is able to articulate well in the courtroom- both aspects you need to have your position prevail. Mike is highly recommended- thanks for all the years of assistance and support!

I have relied on the legal expertise of Mike Carman throughout the years. He is very knowledgeable in family law and has always had my best interests in mind. His straight forward nature prepared me for all possible scenarios of a given situation and, most times, the outcome of a court decision was just as he predicted. He and his staff always made themselves available to me when needed and responded in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend using him and have referred many of my family and friends.

I am beyond thankful for Michael's guidance and support throughout my difficult divorce/custody issues. He was compassionate, level headed, and genuine each time I sought his help. Throughout these trying times, Michael and his office kept me fully informed on the progress of my case. He responded to my emails, returned my phones calls, and his advice on issues ranging from custody to child support were always spot on. Without fail, Michael has successfully fought for me and my children's best interest both inside and outside the courtroom. As such, It is without reservation that I recommend Michael Carmen.
