Mr. Carbone and Bobby handled my divorce/child custody in 2020 till about 2022, and here is my…read morehonest review after getting two more lawyers after him. I would hire him again. He will get you where you need to be, and he is a bulldog in court. I took off one star because I feel like his arrogance, which is GREAT in court, can result in him not getting correct/ all the information on your side, and you have to catch and amend, but as long as it is not being sent to the opposing party, it is an easy fix. If you don't lie about your situation, he will go for the best outcome with your case. He is also on top of it when it comes to communication, which is VERY important. He also listens to what you want, fights for you, and is not content in settling (in my experience). As I mentioned, I had two more lawyers after him, so I am writing based off of my experience. I wanted to hire him a second time around but could not afford it at the time, so I went with someone else, who was great for the cost. My third lawyer, I paid a bit more than Mr. Carbone (Azemika) but I am getting horrible results and 0% communication, and the only reason I did not go with Mr. Carbone is because I'm a very emotional person and he does not tolerate bs and will call you out on it (in my case I was trying my hardest to co-parent with my ex-husband and did things that made my case more difficult), and this time around I was looking for a 'softer' approach from my lawyer. If I could go back, I would hire Mr. Carbone instead.

These guys are just attorneys who decided to practice Family Law. My experience with Azemika & Azemika was horrible. I personally met with Nicholas for my consultation and he shared stories of success in family law. I had a child custody matter that needed to be resolved. It was not complicated, but my child's mother was litigious. I felta bit confident because opposing counsel was not exclusively a family law attorney, he was a one-man law firm that did a little bit of everything in regards areas of specialty. During the court hearing, the opposing counsel (attorney) easily outmaneuver Nicolas' oral arguments in front of the judge. It was like Azemika & Azemika are family law attorneys in general, but don't have the ability to handle above-average skilled attorneys that push back against them. They didn't even object when the other attorney made absurd claims. ***I literally ended up with significantly less custody as a result of Azemika & Azemika's failures. After burning through my money throughout the months, they would not take phone calls unless payments were made in full. I was a college student at the time and needed to make payments after a certain point, but they refused this option. After not being able to pay for an full retainer fee again (they wouldn't accept payments, they filed a motion with the court to drop me as a client. I absolutely regret using them to represent me. I eventually got a different attorney who immediately got me full custody (which is unusual for a man to get) and eventually a court order that allowed me to move out of Kern County with my son.
